Why can't I see my stitches like other people's surgery results? Why can't I see any crease? (photos)

Asked By:Aata in California, CA

I just had my asian blepharoplasty today. The surgery took only an hour. I was really happy with the surgery at first but as i look more at myself in the mirror, i am getting doubts.  It just looks like my eyes are swollen with a cut on it . It looks like i still have extra skin as my eyelids are forming crease near my lashline. The doctor clearly said he would cut out excess fat and skin.

Chase Lay, MD says:

I perform Asian eyelid surgery everyday and I may feel differently if I met you in person but I don't think you need a medial epicanthoplasty to get a look very close to what you are showing us here.  You likely can have either suture technique or incision technique to create a crease that is a ...
