Long scar after upper blepharoplasty. Normal? (photos)

Tina Tink
I am 2 weeks out after upper blepharoplasty. I immediately noticed the scar on one of my eyes was more extended and impossible to hide. It's not at all what I expected. I expected it to be hidden in the fold. The other eye has a visible scar as well, though a bit shorter. I know you need a longer scar for more hooding but the eye with the longer scar just barely had hooding and the doc had to convince me to do both so they would be even. I'm very disappointed. Any way to correct it or am I stuck with it?
