Is it dangerous to lower the eyelid crease with anchor blepharoplasty?

Question

Is it dangerous to lower the eye lid crease with the technique Anchor Blepharaplasty.? I need a revision surgery after my botched surgery. Is it possible to do the revision surgery after 4 months? Im very depressed. Cant wait 6 months. How much skin is it possible to get back through lowering the eye lid crease if the surgeon removed 1 cm;(? I ve seen Renne Zellw. pics. I think she had a revision surgery. Cause her whole skin was restored. If u lower down the crease, its only 2mm more of skin.

The anchor blepharoplasty makes a hard crease. A lower crease involves making a new crease at the desired location and moving the levator aponeurosis to this new location which requires a detailed understanding of the eyelid and the ability to deliver a very precise ptosis surgery. The anchor blepharoplasty makes a very well defined crease by attaching the eyelid platform skin and muscle too the newly repositioned trimmed end of the levator aponeurosis. That is just the crease, it is also necessary to reposition the pre aponeurotic fat to help reestablish the upper eyelid fold. It may only be a few millimeters of tissue but you know yourself how important this bit of eyelid is for making you look like yourself. It is best to wait 6 months for this work so that the eyelid tissue is appropriately healed before undertaking this work. As a practical matter, in my office, if you were seen tomorrow, it would still be necessary to wait to find an open spot on the surgical schedule. You should be skeptical if an office has an open schedule and can accommodated you immediately. That means that office is not that busy. I do not think that is necessarily a good sign. Your eyes can be your best feature.

Hello! Thank you for your question.From the photo you provide I can say that lowering the eyelid would not be a solution for you. For a more fresh, upward look I recommend you a brow lift because your eyes are too round. With this surgery you will had a more slant eyes. If you can provide photos with better lighting, from the side of your face and 1 meter away I would be able to make a proper evaluation.Best Regards!
