My eyelids look bad and I am depressed

March 18, 2016
Asked By:elle13ad4u in Mid Missouri, MO

My surgeon is 5 hours away. I now believe he doesn't have any experiences in Asian double eyelid surgery. When I asked before surgery - the answers were vague. Now this is my post 16 op day and I look like I am tired. It's truly depressing. There's a before pic, one with my desired results using eyelid tape, and my results now. I don't even recognize myself anymore. I am scared and need to know if I can get revision done at 3 months instead. Can't go outside looking like this.
