I got incisional DES, ptosis, and epicanthoplasty . After surgery, i started to notice dry eyes but thought this was 'normal'. I recently took a picture of my eyes closed and noticed that I have a tiny crack and sclera is visible, which is why i assume my eyes are always feeling super dry in the mornings and still dry in the evenings since i wear contacts. I'm about 3 months post-op. Will my eyes fully close again? Is this normal or was i botched?

In Asian double eyelid surgery, the necessity of muscle excision depends on the specific muscle and surgical technique. For the orbicularis oculi muscle, a small slip is usually excised in the incisional method to create a more defined crease, but it's not removed in the suture technique....
Please look into the possibility of thyroid eye disease. The left upper eyelid retraction is concerning. A thyroid function test and a review of older photographs would be a major help.
