Upper blepharoplasty. Left incision not the crease. Why did he put the incision higher w/ the more sagging lid? (photo)

Asked By:CamilleNY in New York, New York

Hi. I have a upper bleph + canthopexy & fat transfer to upper eyelids 2 weeks ago. My PS is experienced but my right eye incision is not in the crease. I developed little bumps (milia?) and have tract marks on this side only with this scar 3,5 millimeters above the natural fold. I like the right eye, incision is hidden in the fold nicely. Is there a chance my incision drops after in the fold? He starts to cut high and far at the inner corner, it creates like a wrinkle or a double crease.
