Best correction recommendations for my eyes? Results made me regret undergoing the surgery (Photo)

June 15, 2017
Asked By:xxkittyxz in Singapore, SG

Had Asian Blepharoplasty and Lateral Canthoplasty done 17mths ago. I hate how uneven they look, especially when smiling. I started with uneven eyelids (last pic), but I always fix it with eyelid tape (however after my surgery, tape could not held up anymore) After my surgery, my right eye suffered from chemosis for abt 2 weeks and it sort of pulled my lower eyelid, resulting in my right eye looking longer than my left eye. Scars also looks croaked, make up can't hide them. Please advise
