One eyelids has had more fat taken than the other and we’re both stitched completely different. I am a makeup artist and so social media for work and now hate putting makeup on. It really effecting me. My surgeon said he wouldn’t feel comfortable performing surgery on one eye even though he is yet to see me to discuss it.
