I've seen in many asian monolid make up tutorials I have seen them use this little piece that makes the eye create a crease. It may not be permanent but is a good short term solution

my eye is not as bruised and swollen as it was before its still swollen underneath the incision I hope that that goes down flat because before my initial surgery there was scar tissue there that they had to remove which made it still looks swollen so I'm here to make sure that the swelling goes down so its flat as the other side. I still don't have a crease which is why I actually did the initial surgery in the first place so I'm eager to see if I will end up with a crease which I'm crossing my fingers. But here is my update photo thank you.

Even though there's still swelling, it looks really good! Stay positive and use heat as much as possible. If you can find Dermatix Ultra Advanced Scar Treatment, it's a 100% silicon gel that I've been using to thin out my scars and keep the scar tissue underneath from thickening. I found some tiny trial sizes on Amazon but will purchase a larger tube once I use these up.

Most likely a beautiful crease will form. Mine became kind of deep that when the swelling went down by the 3rd month, my lids dropped lower:( I was really happy with my height crease around 3 months. I love mine now. But it was more noticeable when it was higher

the swelling has went down a little bit above the incision there is still swelling underneath this incision the fold has not come in yet but is showing signs that it will come in. My only concern about the fold actually coming in is prior to surgery I lack muscle in my eyelid so we will see I'm crossing my fingers otherwise the surgery will have been for no reason..

I'm following your progress. I would suggest a topical silicon gel to keep flattening the scar and tissue underneath. I just had double eyelid surgery on 4/27 and my doctor gave me "Silagen" 100% pure silicone gel. I still ordered the Dermatix Ultra Advanced Scar Cream from Amazon because I read some good reviews so I will use one mornings and the other at night. I'm going to share my story but I had aggressive bruising and I don't want a lot of weird comments, i'm also Ethnic.

you should still post your progress now people do not leave me any rude comments or anything, also people know that you get bruising so I'd like to see your progress as well that would be nice. I will also look at the website you sent and also I will get those gels that you mention thank you for sharing that
