I had an upper blepharoplasty done 2 months ago and I’m afraid the crease is too high(8mm). I had a small amount of fat taken from above the tail end of my eyelids. I know I have to be patient but can a revision to lower the crease to be more subtle and natural be possible? I feel as my eyes are too big, overpowering my small face.
