6 days ago, I had a blepharoplasty and an epicanthoplasty done. Surprisingly, my eyes did not swell as much as I expected. I think that the size of the crease is perfect for me; I don't want them get any smaller. I think that my eyes are still a little bit swollen, & I'm worried that after my stitches come out tomorrow and my eyes heal after a few months, the creases are going to get so small that they'll look non-existent. Do you think that the crease will get much smaller? If so, by how much?
