Incisional Double Eyelid Surgery (Correcting Multiple Creases)
A case study of a woman in her 30s who corrected multiple eyelid creases and eye-opening discomfort through incisional double eyelid surgery and fat repositioning.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 30s
# Current Status & Requirements: I have multiple eyelid creases, which get worse in the evening. These creases also make it uncomfortable to open my eyes.
* Consultation
# The multiple creases are indeed obstructing and causing discomfort when opening the eyes.
# Since the patient has good eye-opening strength, the plan is to organize the eyelid into a single clean line and resolve the multiple creases through fat repositioning.
* Surgical Plan
# Incisional Double Eyelid Surgery (+ Fat Repositioning)
* Post-operative Progress
# The multiple creases have been resolved, and a single, distinct line has been created, making the overall impression much clearer.
# Multiple creases can be corrected by repositioning the eyelid fat back to its original, normal position. If multiple creases are left untreated, it leads to a vicious cycle: they obstruct the eye-opening process, making it harder to open the eyes -> this causes the patient to lift their eyebrows, which pushes the eyelid fat further inward -> this leads to more hollowing and more creases -> which further obstructs eye-opening, and so on.
# Therefore, this phenomenon can be resolved through fat repositioning performed alongside double eyelid surgery.
Always seek consultation and surgery from a board-certified plastic surgeon!

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do multiple eyelid folds occur, and what discomfort do they cause?
Multiple eyelid folds often occur when the fat in the upper eyelid recedes inward. This can make it uncomfortable to open the eyes, interfere with the blinking process, and lead to a vicious cycle of constantly raising the eyebrows.
What surgical methods are used to resolve multiple eyelid folds?
To resolve multiple eyelid folds, an incisional double eyelid surgery is performed along with fat repositioning. The fat in the upper eyelid is repositioned to its original, normal location to correct the multiple folds and create a clear, defined line.
What changes can I expect after surgery for multiple eyelid folds?
After surgery for multiple eyelid folds, you can expect the multiple folds to be resolved and a clear, single double eyelid line to be created, resulting in a much sharper and more defined appearance. Discomfort when opening the eyes will also improve.
What problems can arise if multiple eyelid folds are left untreated?
If multiple eyelid folds are left untreated, it can become even more difficult to open the eyes, and the vicious cycle of raising the eyebrows and the upper eyelid fat receding further inward, worsening the multiple folds, can repeat.
What should I be aware of when undergoing surgery for multiple eyelid folds?
It is important to consult with and undergo surgery by a board-certified plastic surgeon for multiple eyelid folds. Complications and side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry after surgery may vary by individual, so caution is required.
