I had the eyelid surgery on Feb 10th and the stitches removed Feb 18th. I am so very worried that the incisions are too high. My PS told me that was the only way to move the excess pocket of skin I had. I am so NOT happy. What do you think? What can I do now?

Answer: Your blepharoplasty incisons look a little high. You usually want a crease in the 8-10mm above the lashes. This often corresponds to the natura crease. When it is made at this height, it should not be visible when your eyes are open. Your incision is visible. We also try to leave at least 10mm between the lid crease and the brow hair, and you appear to have less than that. Most eyelid incisions heal well, so it may be less apparent with time.

Answer: Eye lid incision location On most females the incision is in the natural crease or about 10mm up from eyelid margin. If no crease is there then making one with sutures to the levator at the 10mm level is performed with a few sutures. We do not have the before pictures to look at. It does appear your incision is above the 10mm mark that I use for my upper blepharoplasty procedures.
