Can eyelid crease be lowered or cut out to create a new one?

Asked By:L.B.N in England, United Kingdom

My eyelid surgery left me unable to fully close my eyes at night. I heard tape or rubbing can stretch the eyelid. However, this can cause the tarsal plate (the skin below the crease) to expand and lead to a higher crease. Can eyelid crease be lowered or cut out to create a new one?
