Upper Eyelid Surgery - Incision Not in Crease? (photo)

river2012
I had upper bleph surgery 72 hours ago by supposedly one of Seattle's "best" surgeons, and the incision on my right eye is not in the crease. I'm a little freaked out by this. I had few expectations, but that the incision was going to be *in the crease* and so would not be visible when my eye is open was definitely one of them -- and is what he said he was going to do. How bad is this going to be and what are my options for hiding the scar?
