Is my scar on the left too tight as my my left eye can’t close?

Asked By:Fabulous850 in Queens, NY

But the incision looks similar. S/p 25 days since double eyelid surgery and epicantoplasty1. Left eye still unable to close. Surgeon said he’s not concerned bc he did not remove excessive skin or fat and he thinks it’s just built up scar tissue so I should keep massaging it. Incision was not cut extremely high either.2. Eyelid cuts look even when I stare ahead or look up/down3. Should I just trust the process and assume it’s residual swelling or is my scar on the left too tight? Concerned bc it makes my eyes look off. I noticed my right eyebrow is higher too. Is that why the incisions were cut that way to even it out
