Is my double eyelid surgery botched? (Photo)

Checkmate22Jun 22, 2015

I had a double eyelid surgery done three months ago, was supposed to be low creases. When the doctor drew them, the lines looked uneven and I pointed this out, to which the doctor responded they weren't. Post surgery one eye was significantly more swollen, and when I pointed that out the doctor responded not to worry. Last check up, he said they were fairly even, but I'm now 90% sure they're not. Thoughts? Will I have to pay the doctor more money to fix the mistake>?

If it does not work, consider BOTOX treatment.  Eventually you will be a good candidate for a lower eyelid chemical peel.  For quite sometime, I do not think you will need much more than a little BOTOX and possibility a bit of filler.

Swelling and bruising can continue for several weeks after eyelid surgery. You should keep your head elevated while resting to reduce swelling. Also, you can start wearing makeup in order to cover any bruising. If you are still concerned after a couple of weeks, consult with your physician.

Even though you have monolid on both eyes, left eye may have very small fold just above the eyelashes. To match,  you can create same size of fold on the right side. I don't call this double eyelid rather to match the eyes same. This can be done as non cutting method.

Healing is a continuum, and swelling continues to settle over several weeks.  If the procedure was recent, your concerns may improve with time.  If you do not notice improvement, consult with your surgeon as injections may be an option to help with persistent inflammation."This answer...

Most people are asymmetric if you look closely.  Based on your picture, you appear to have less volume of your left cheek and bony orbit.  Volume augmentation with filler or your own fat can improve asymmetries.  As long as you don't expect perfect symmetry, just improvement, you...
