I Just Had Double Eyelid Surgery but Why Don't I Have a Crease? (photo)

May 3, 2012
Asked By:Muimui

It's been a week since my double eyelid surgery and I just had my stitches removed today. I do not see any sort of crease at all. Is that normal? I can see my scar/stitch line clearly as it is on the surface and not hidden in the crease like it's suppose to. You might say I need to give it time for swelling to come down, etc. I do know that, but shouldn't a crease be visible immediately after surgery even if it was supposed to be super swollen? I'm really upset. Pls help.

Answer: Generally, it is good when the fold breaks over the crease immediately after surgery.
