Will the use of eyelid tape stretch out my skin?

June 20, 2014
Asked By:jp2014 in Los Angeles, CA

Had blepharoplasty on only my right eyelid in November 2013. I know I will need a blepharoplasty revision in the future as without the tape, my right eyelid still forms an odd slant from my inner corner to middle. I am not Asian, but my doctor said it appears to have an Asian construction on that on eye.
