Would a crease lowering revision help me achieve a more symmetrical look? (photos)

Y2KimNov 2, 2024
I am Korean, had double eyelid surgery in January 2022. I had natural double eyelids and wanted to remove extra skin from aging. During the healing process, I never felt like my left eye crease looked natural and seemed too high in the inner corner. I had ptosis surgery June 2023 to help lift the lid, and now (November 2024) I think everything has healed and settled into the final result. I still think the left inner crease looks ‘ropey’ and unnaturally high. Would a crease revision help?

You had a fairly distinct upper eyelid crease prior to surgery, though a bit low and with some asymmetry. Post-surgery it appears that your eyelid skin has lost its connection with the underlying muscle, therefore giving you the appearance of multiple creases. As you correctly identified, the...
