Asked By:lelizebeth2019 in Boston, MA

I had my 3rd eyelid surgery in 4 years 3 weeks ago. The ASOPRS surgeon said he could lift the eye more and give me a crease with the external levator surgery. 3 weeks after surgery I regret having it as my eyelid height is lower than ever before and my crease also looks too low making it all worse. He said he could fix it (again) as he needs to leave it in a way over corrected position but now I’m afraid to touch it again and make it even worse.
