After getting a double eyelid surgery, my left eyelid created its own crease which formed a triple eyelid. Is there a way for me to get the double eyelid back?

Double eyelid surgery
If your surgery was recent, may be best to wait until the healing is completed. Sometimes residual swelling or scar tissue can create an abnormal crease. If surgery was over 6 months ago, then the crease reforming "on it's own" is less likely. There are techniques to rebuild the eyelid crease. Some include non-surgical, such as fillers. There are other surgical methods to improve the crease.

Yes you can recreate your double eyelid through tissue grafting
Yes you can recreate your double eyelid through tissue grafting. The reason that this occured was because there was too much tissue / fat taken out of your eyelids. Basically you have to reset the crease to the new level and if it is lower you will most likely need to harvest tissue and graft in the area. For a triple fold, you need to essentially fill the area of the triple fold with tissue. I have some videos on my website that describes this.

Revising double eyelid surgery
It is possible to have double fold back rather than a triple fold, but you need to go to a very experienced oculoplastic surgeon who has performed thousands of eyelid surgeries to get this exactly the way you like it.

You can correct previous blepharoplasty surgery
You can correct previous surgery by taking down all previous adhesions and scar tissue, and start anew. This is not difficult and healing takes teh normal length of time.

1: The height of the crease
2: The shape of the crease
A parallel crease follows the curvature of the upper lid....
