How can I get rid of triple eyelid fold without surgery?

Question

My left eye developed a triple eyelid after crying a couple years ago and never went back to the normal crease fold. What can I do to fix it as it makes me feel self conscious where half my face look tired? Some days are better than others when I get lots of sleep and makeup helps at times. I don't want surgery at this point any little improvement to make it better is fine with me. Sometimes my left eyelid feels really loose/heavy like the skin when I'm tired. Will botox or fillers help some what?

I often use a combination approach to treat this area. I suggest you see an expert in skin tightening and lasers to get improvement.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for sharing your question and photographs.  I can see your area of concern but without an in-person examination it is difficult to offer the best recommendation as the cause of the fold will need to be addressed.  Most likely this is excess skin that will need surgery to remove, but see a board certified plastic surgeon for the best treatment recommendation.

Thank you for your question. Botox could be a possibility for your solution to help with the triple eyelid fold. However I would recommend seeing a board certified plastic surgeon and discuss all of your options, surgical and nonsurgical.

Thank you for your questions and pictures. Botox could help a bit so that's definitely an option you could discuss with an expert plastic surgeon in your area. Another option is to heat the eyelid folds right under the skin for a few minutes using a procedure called ThermiTight. The tiny probe that is applied under the skin will shrink up and tighten the loose tissue while simultaneously stimulating collagen production. Heat is applied for only a few minutes. There's absolutely no downtime and results are amazing. Check out the Thermi website to locate an expert near you. Good luck!
