Unhappy with double eyelid surgery 2 years post op. Should I consider crease revision? (Photo)

October 4, 2023
Asked By:Jennie_R in San Jose, CA

I had double eyelid surgery in January 2022 and it look over a year for the full swelling to resolve. The surgery made the preexisting ptosis on my left eye very pronounced and heavy feeling so I had unilateral ptosis surgery in July 2023. I have always felt the inn we crease height and depth looked unnatural and changed my Asian eye shape from almond to more round and I regret having this procedure as my lids now feel like they are physically being ‘pulled up.’ Do you recommend revision?

Eyelids scar looks deep, any way to fade them? (photo)
Eric M. Joseph, MD says:

If I had to guess, your surgery was less than 3 months ago. Many people have darkening of the upper eyelid scar, and this will eventually turn into a white line. Additionally, when your eyes are open, no one can see these incisions. I hope this is helpful! Sincerely, Dr Joseph
