Double eyelid too high/too deep. Is it to reverse or lower it? (Photo)

Question

I had incisional double eyelid surgery 4 months ago. I asked for a natural crease height, but the crease (especially the right side) is way too high. It's also way too deep and looks extremely unnatural and unflattering. Is it possible to lower the eyelid crease and make it more shallow? The surgeon unfortunately removed a lot of skin already... my eyebrows are too close to my eyes now — can that also be fixed through revision by lowering the crease?

It's possible to lower the eyelid crease and make it more shallow through revision surgery, but the extent of the revision will depend on several factors, including the amount of skin that was removed during the initial surgery and the quality of the remaining skin.

Lowering the crease may involve creating a new crease lower on the eyelid, or modifying the existing crease to reduce its height and depth. Your surgeon may also need to adjust the position of your eyebrows to improve the overall appearance of the eyes.

Revision surgery can be more challenging than initial surgery, as there may be scar tissue and other anatomical changes that can make the procedure more difficult. It's important to choose a surgeon with experience in revision eyelid surgery and to discuss your concerns and expectations in detail before proceeding with any further surgery.

It's also important to keep in mind that revision surgery may not always achieve the exact results that you desire, but it can often improve the appearance of the eyelids and provide a more natural and flattering result.

In summary, it's possible to lower the eyelid crease and make it more shallow through revision surgery, but the extent of the revision will depend on several factors, and it's important to choose a qualified and experienced surgeon to perform the procedure.

Best of luck !
