I am nearly two months post-op on my upper blepharoplasty. Why do I have multiple folds/creases on my eyelid? (Photos)

May 22, 2017
Asked By:flustered in Chicago, Illinois

What I wanted was a high, deep single-crease fold like the girl in the first photo. My new crease is definitely higher than my old crease, but I now also have multiple lines/wrinkles going across my upper eyelid like the girl's 'before' in the second photo. Not at all what I wanted and looks terrible. Is this normal and will it go away with more time?? Help.
