Triple Eyelid Fix? (Photo)

Graceful4280Apr 16, 2024

Usually in the morning, my eyes will look normal (with a double eyelid), but a few hours later, they will turn into triple eyelids. The more rested I am, the more frequent it will be triple eyelids. What procedures would I need to fix this, and make it double eyelid throughout the day?

Medically this should not matter. At 3 weeks anticipate moderate bleeding, like a very heavy period that will last for 5-7 days. This may lower your hemoglobin, but not significantly. Take iron supplementation if you are vegetarian. Skin-only upper bleph under local anesthesia is a bloodless...
