Correct tapered eyelid folds to parallel? (Photo)

User Avatar

In 2018 I had a blepharoplasty for eye symmetry. I had parallel eyelid crease prior to the procedure; however, the doctor gave me a tapered folds when I had my procedure without my request. I wanted to correct the tapered fold to be parallel. In 2022, I had the correction done by the same doctor. He created new parallel creases with non-incisional double eyelid surgery. Nothing was done to the tapered folds. Now I look like I have both tapered and parallel folds. Please help.

It is indeed true that the incision line and the eyelid crease might not align exactly due to the dynamic nature of eyelid structures and the way skin stretches and heals. The eyelid is a complex, moving part of the body, so the positioning of the crease post-surgery can vary slightly from the...

Thank you for sharing your question and posting your photo. It would be difficult to lower your crease; however, it might be possible with proper placement of fillers. See an experienced oculoplastic surgeon for consultation. Good luck!

Although an in-person exam would be necessary to provide a definitive answer, based on the photo you have provided it does appear you would be a suitable candidate for upper blepharoplasty with ptosis repair. It's possible to give you a crease that is defined and more symmetric with upper eyelid...
