I deeply regret having the surgery and miss my monolids and although the crease is already low I was wondering if I could lower it even more. I’m also unhappy about the scars which are more visible in person and on my left eye (right in the picture) the centre of my eyelid looks more puffy and swollen than the other eye. And on my other eye there is an excess of skin near the inner corner. I added photos where I’m wearing eyeshadow which makes the scars and the other issues more visible and clear.

Answer: Can I lower my Asian eyelid crease and open the epicanthal fold? Morning,Thank you for these photos. Unfortunately, at your age with your anatomy the answer is no. Also, if you want to open the inner aspect of the fold (epicanthal fold) it will show your crease a bit more, so you couldn't change the inner fold and lower the crease. These maneuvers compete against one another.I perform Asian eyelid surgery daily and a lot of revisions from around the world and many surgeons will tell you they can make the changes that you're requesting. They can't.But, on the bright side, it's still a lower subtle crease. Give it time and you'll look a bit like your former self. My advice is just leave it alone. Maybe revisit the possibility of a revision in a few years if not more.Chase Lay MD

Answer: Scarring and double lid hi,based on your pictures, your height of the double fold is very small. too make the height even smaller, you will need time and aging to get more skin available to bring down the double lids. as for your scar, a revision can be done to make a cleaner line now but your fold may appear bigger. hope this helps.dr david kahng
