Answer: Uneven eyelids after Asian eyelid surgery
Hi Pipat,
First of all, you are still quite swollen and you'd be surprised how different you'll look in two weeks. However, if this is what you look like after two weeks there is a problem.
I am somewhat in agreement with Dr. Stainsapir. I don't want to repeat everything he commented on but there are some significant asymmetries here. Your left upper eyelid skin appears to have been sutured too aggressively and too high up on what is known at the levator muscle. If it has been two weeks you can re-operate now but it must be now. Otherwise you should wait for about 9 to 12 months before re-operating on the eye.
Follow the advice of your surgeon. If he/she can't help you I would seek the advice of an eyelid surgeon who has a lot of experience performing eyelid reconstruction. These surgeons tend to have a better understanding of eyelid anatomy and what to do when things are scared and misplaced. . .so to speak.
Another options is to see if you like the way your left eye looks in a few weeks. It may be easier to match the right eye to the left one in several months.
Best of luck

Answer: Asian Blepharoplasty
Asymmetry following Asian blepharoplasty is common. Please allow the swelling to subside before evaluating the final results.
