What is Double Eyelid Surgery?

Double eyelid surgery is a procedure that creates or refines the upper eyelid crease.

In individuals without a natural crease, the eyelid may appear fuller or “sleepier.” Creating a crease can help define the upper eyelid and make the eyes appear more open.

The aim is not to change the character of the eyes, but to create a crease that sits naturally with the individual’s features.

Why Some People Don’t Have a Crease?

01
The presence or absence of a crease is determined by the way the eyelid skin attaches to the underlying muscle. In many Asians, this attachment may be lower or absent, resulting in a single eyelid.
02
This is a normal variation of eyelid anatomy.
Some individuals may also notice that their crease becomes less defined over time due to skin changes or personal habits.

Who May Consider This Procedure?

A consultation allows careful assessment of eyelid thickness, skin, and overall facial features to determine an appropriate crease height and shape.

How is the Surgery Performed?

This technique uses fine stitches to create a connection between the skin and the underlying structures that form the crease. It may be suitable for thinner eyelids with minimal excess tissue and avoids a skin incision.

In both approaches, careful attention is given to the height, shape, and continuity of the crease so that it sits naturally with the eye and facial features.
This technique involves a carefully placed incision along the intended crease. It allows for more precise definition of the crease and for adjustment of underlying structures such as fat or soft tissue when needed. It is often recommended when the eyelid is thicker or when there is excess skin or fullness.

In both approaches, careful attention is given to the height, shape, and continuity of the crease so that it sits naturally with the eye and facial features.

Frequently Asked Question

Will my eyes look different or unnatural?
When planned carefully, double eyelid surgery should enhance the natural appearance of the eyes rather than change their character.
Attention is given to the shape and position of the crease so that it blends naturally with the eyelid and facial features. The intention is to create a result that appears balanced and consistent with the individual, rather than one that looks overdefined or artificial.
How do I know if this is suitable for me?
Suitability depends on the structure of the eyelids, skin thickness, and overall facial features.
A careful assessment allows the crease design and surgical approach to be tailored so that the result sits naturally with the individual.
What crease height is suitable for me?
The appropriate crease height varies between individuals and is influenced by eyelid anatomy, skin thickness, and the overall proportions of the face.
A lower or moderate crease often appears more subtle and natural, while a higher crease may create a more defined look. Careful planning is important to ensure that the crease sits comfortably with the eye shape and does not appear overly prominent.
The goal is to select a crease height and shape that complements the individual’s features rather than following a fixed template.
What is the goal of double eyelid surgery?
The aim is to improve the definition of the upper eyelid while preserving the individual character of the eyes.
A well-planned result should appear natural and balanced, with a crease that sits comfortably and does not draw attention to itself.

A personalised consultation allows for a detailed assessment and discussion of the most suitable approach for your eyelids and facial features.
