Melanie Ho Erb, MD · Answer

Yes, it is possible to do a revision on your upper eyelids to get a higher crease.  It's best to be evaluated by an oculoplastic surgeon who does a lot of Asian eyelid surgery.

Charles K. Lee, MD, FACS · Answer

2 years is a good amount of time for the eyes to be revised.    If the crease is too low, it can be raised. Vice versa, if the crease is too high, it can be lowered.   I often seen patients who want revision surgery.   The appropriate time must be considered and be sure that your plastic surgeon has significant expertise in Asian eyelid surgery.

Thank you for sharing your question. Asian eyelid surgery is particularly difficult to perform. If not done properly, results can be unpleasant. Yes, the creases can be reformed. Make sure an experienced Oculoplastic Surgeon helps you. Good luck.

Yes, it's often easier to increase the crease height than to lower it.  By removing some skin and anchoring the crease higher, a higher crease height can be achieved.  You should consult with a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in Asian blepharoplasty.  Goretti H. Taghva MD
