Permanent Makeup Lash Enhancer After Eyelid Lift?

Question

My lower eyelids are not the same after eyelids done. I see the white of my eyes a bit more. Should I still consider permanent makeup eyelash enhancer or eyeliner ? I don't want to look like Michael Jackson.

Permanent makeup is more a personal choice and outside the expertise of this surgeon.   Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

If enough time is past and all conservative measures have been exhausted surgery will be required to restore the normal position of the lower lid. This has really no effect on permanent eyeliner.

Inferior scleral show is a complication of lower eyelid surgery. It will not repair itself with more time. Still, if the issue does not bother you very much, it is not necessarily something you have to have fixed. If you decide to do a lash liner, less is more. Remebember, style change over time. You what something that will roll with the style changes that tend to occur over time.

Jeffrey Zwiren, MD · Answer

What you are describing is scleral show and can be due to over resection of skin of the lower eyelids. Normally the lower eyelid should cover about 2 mm of the colored portion of the eye or iris. If you are early in the post operative period this lid malposition may improve with time. Otherwise you may need a surgical correction especially if the lower eyelid is lax.
