Hello. I have gone under double eyelid surgery; however it seems like my crease s cut too low? It has only been 3 days after post op! If its this low after only 3 days of post op, I am afraid it will go down even more as time goes. What should I do? My doctor did not seem to care!

8 mm is within the normal range for crease height in Asians.  Just as important as the crease height is how much skin overhang there is over the crease in determining the final appearance.  This early in your recovery, you still have quite a bit of swelling which is elevating the height of y...
