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

November 2, 2024
Asked By:Y2Kim in Honolulu, Hawaii

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?

Does upper and lower blepharoplasty make the crows feet worse or add crows feet?
Andrew Miller, MD says:

Crows feet are not affected by blepharoplasty. They are caused by muscle movement, so they are treated with Botox injection. Extra skin and fat is removed with blepharoplasty, making the lids themselves look better. Be sure to see a facial specialist for consultation.

Donald B. Yoo, MD, FACS says:

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...

Eyelid surgery gone wrong - is there any way to restore my original look? (Photo)
Kenneth D. Steinsapir, MD says:

I do not agree with the individuals who have answered you. It is possible to reconstruct these over-resected upper eyelids. The skin you need to have an innie eyelid like your surgery result is about the skin you need to have an outie eyelid like your presurgical eyelid. A detailed, in person...
