I am asian and i was born with a semi half way crease and is not fully dented from the outskirts of my eye crease. It is hard to explain, but since i have this half way crease, I am concerned that after my eyelid surgery I this other crease will come back and end up with two creases.

Since I moved to Florida, would it is hard to find a surgeon that has Asian eyes experience. Any recommendation? thank you

Eyelid surgery for eyes with partial creases

The incision itself will need to be placed in the actual crease so that the crease itself will be deepened along the fold of the upper lid. During the surgery itself, the crease will be made more prominent usually from the removal of the skin and simply the placement of the incision along with any fat or muscle removal.

To get both eyes to look the same would mean raising the upper eyelid creases to the height of the rudimentary crease present in the left upper eyelid. Doing this will over resect the upper eyelid folds and tilt your results in a very unnatural and un-Asian way. Instead it is more... more
