What can be done for Asian eyelids that “flip” and move into different crease positions, depending on the day? (photos)

Asked By:miamojo in Arlington, VA

Hello, I am East Asian with natural double folds. As a child my eyelids “flipped” so they would have higher and lower crease positions. They settled into the higher position when I was about 8. A few years ago my eyelids started to flip again as they had when I was a child. Now they seem to have mostly settled into the lower position which I think makes me look older and tired. Is there anything that can stabilize that higher fold that is short of a full blepharopasty?
