Hi, I'm a korean female, age 30, had double eyelid surgery 9 months ago on my thick eyelids and the crease is too big and it has the side V shape rather than a flat line shape which I wanted. I wanted a small lid, and though I told the doctor, he gave me a big lid. I went back to him and he said there was nothing he could do and that I should get a scalp lift (?) so my eyes wouldn't be so thick/heavy. I really think he did a bad job but need a second opinion. How soon before I can try again?

You can ride a roller coaster after double eyelid surgery. But, I would speak to your doctor to be sure. Usually after a month, most of the swelling is gone and such activities such as roller coasters or airplanes shouldn’t affect your results.
