Eyelids won't fully close after double eyelid surgery (Photo)

January 6, 2024
Asked By:123DES in Los Angeles, California

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?
