What are my options to lower eyelid crease?

Question

I had eyelid surgery already. My upper lid feels tight and heavy at the same time. I have enough skin to close my eyes, but the inner crease is way too high. T removed fatty tissue which I am sure is the culprit. Obviously it seems hard to correct. But is it possible?

Thank you for your question.

There are three main approaches to lowering the upper lip crease:

- fat transfer or injectable fillers can enhance the volume under the orbital rim
- pearl fat grafting can be used to restore some of the volume removed in surgery
- advancement of the orbital fat can also be carried out but the efficiency depends on how much volume is available

I suggest that in the first instance you should discuss this with your surgeon, as your symptoms may not be related to the fat reduction.

To make an assessment regarding the outcome of any plastic surgery procedure, we generally need to see a complete set of proper before and after pictures.
If you don’t have before, and after pictures then ask your surgeon to forward the pictures they took.
We cannot make an assessment based on the information included.
Best,
