Did my surgeon overcorrect (crease too high?)

Question

Had double eyelid surg 2 yrs ago, got revision in one eye because of excess skin. I know it’s early, but it seems to me the revision left my crease too high and will result in an asymmetrical crease. Any way to remedy? Will it fall?

Jacob Tower, MD · Answer

Hello, hope you are well. As a matter of fact, the eyelid crease nearly always appears too high immediately after double eyelid surgery because of postoperative edema (swelling). It is not uncommon for the eyelid creases to appear asymmetric as well. Discuss you concerns with your surgeon, but you should expect to see both of those issues improve--especially once the sutures are removed. If there does end up being a persistent problem once healing is complete, carefully planned revisions can often help. But based on the photos you provided, there is no reason to worry at this time.
Best,Dr. Tower
