Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Overactive Eyebrow on One Side
Asymmetric Eye Brows Often From Droopy Eyelids
Dec 16, 2010
Many people have asymmetric eyebrows. In many cases this may be do to underlying drooping or ptosis of your eyelids which you are subconsciously accommodating. Although Botox may fix the eyebrow problem I would make sure you don't have underlying ptosis. You may find that your eyelids drop after eyebrow botox leaving a less than desired result. If ptosis is present, ptosis repair of the lids often reverses the eye brow asymmetry.
Part of my Top Part Eyelid is Cut off in an Accident. What Can Be Done?
Eyelid Reconstruction
Dec 15, 2010
There are many options to repair missing tissue of the eyelid. Without photos, it is difficult to advise. However, reconstruction should be tailored to first allow the eyelid to close properly, second to allow it to open for visual function, and finally for cosmesis. A surgeon addressing your defect has to determine what level of the eyelid is missing and then how to replace it. I would recommend consulting with an ophthalmologist or preferably an oculoplastic surgeon to best address…
Ptosis Surgery 6 Months Ago. Lid is Starting to Droop Slightly. What Can I Do?
Recurrent ptosis
Dec 15, 2010
Ptosis can recur after surgery that seems to have an initial excellent result. There can be a lot of factors. In your case, did you recently have a corneal transplant? Any ocular surgery can change the eyelid height, mainly due to inflammation and swelling associated with the eye surgery. Much of these changes will resolve with time.
Why Did my Doctor Use Steri Strips on Top of my Upper Eyelid Stitches?
Steri Strips on Eyelid Incisions
Dec 15, 2010
Surgeons have different techniques for closing wounds to minimize scar. Some like steri strips over wounds. I personally do not like them on the eyelid, since the eyelid is a dynamic structure and the 'stiff' strips can be uncomfortable as you have noticed.

I would consult with your surgeon as to whether ointment is perfered over the steri strips. In my experience it is not a problem.

Eyelid Ptosis or Eyebrow Ptosis After Double Eyelid Surgery?
Eyelid Ptosis after Double Eyelid Surgery
Dec 14, 2010
Thank you for posting your photos. Preoperative photos may be of additional help. Given you history of no eyelid crease before surgery, you probably had pre-existing ptosis or drooping of the left upper eyelid. Double eyelid crease surgery will not change that, and therefore after surgery you still have ptosis of both upper eyelids, the left worse than the right. 

Since your surgery was four months ago, it would be reasonable to have an initial evaluation with an oculoplastic…

Disadvantages of Having a High Crease in Asian Eyes?
Functional issues with Asian Blepharoplasty
Dec 14, 2010
A properly performed double eyelid crease surgery should have little effect on eyelid function, both eyelid opening and closing. Given that, concerns such as eyelids feeling too tight or eyelid being too low after surgery are often avoided by good preoperative planning and recognizing that eyelid malposition may be present before surgery. 

The main consequence I see after double eyelid surgery is that if the crease is placed too high, it can look artificial or fake, instead of…

Any Doctor Comfortable Repairing Asian Eyelid and Brow Ptosis, Including Crease?
Double Eyelid Surgery with Ptosis Repair and Brow Ptosis Repair
Dec 14, 2010
Re-operations are always challenging. However, if your previous surgery did not address all your concerns, re-operation may be warranted. Your three issues, eyelid height, eyelid crease, and eye brow height all interact and therefore should be addressed by an experienced surgeon with all these issues; consider an oculoplastics surgeon for further consultation.
