Made an appt w/ a surgeon for Asian eyelid surgery—am looking to make my eyes a bit more open w/ a more defined, low crease. I want a very subtle change/consistent crease vs what I have now (see photo) The surgeon recommended nonincisional eyelid surgery+ptosis repair (PR). However PR isnt within my budget, but surgeon said they're comfortable just doing eyelid surgery w/o it. but what will be the difference w/ or w/o PR? Will the result be worse, last less long etc w/o it?
