I had upper blepharoplasty 10 months ago..The reason I wanted it done was mainly for cosmetic reasons I had one eyelid that showed more then the other lid. I have two concerns now: First, my right eye has a extra crease on the lid it wasn't there before surgery but has now been there since I had it done. Secondly, my right eyelid feels funny, heavy when I look up...I really don't know how to describe it but it just doesn't feel right. What would be causing the crease & the heaviness feeling?
