When is the Best to Reverse Non-incision Double Eyelid Surgery?

ElenaMarieKSep 16, 2012
I've done my non-incision double eyelid surgery. If I'm not satisfied with the result, when is the best reverse the surgery? I have natural double eyelids, I undergo non-incision double eyelid surgery to strengthen my natural crease as the crease is slightly out of position due to a stitch near by my eye.

Generally, I remove all restrictions for my patients by week 3 after surgery.  You surgeon, who continues to be directly responsible for your care, may feel differently.  Call his or her office and ask them.  They will get you an answer.
