Asked By:lokebiz

I very much regret getting the surgery as I feel I actually look older and very different.  I decided to do the surgery was because my dropping eyelids. Tried to put the eyeliner on today (14 days after the surgery).  Oh man, I looked scary.  The doctor told me the gap will decrease by 1/4.  I was hoping I could be back to the way I was. I was wondering if too much skin was cut? and why the crease was so deep? and If the gap could shrink more than just 1/4.
