My left eyelid crease, which was once defined has been shifting and turning into triple eyelid creases when I put pressure on it or even sometimes when I blink. It has been like this for 2 months now. I got an eyelid surgery consultation and the doctor suggested Botox to lower my left eyebrow so that they crease will lower too and my natural eyelid crease will stay. Will that even work? Or should I get surgery instead?

Answer: Botox vs. Surgery for Shifting or Triple Eyelid Crease Thank you for your detailed question and photo. What you’re describing—a shifting or newly formed triple eyelid crease, is quite common and often related to muscle imbalance, eyebrow elevation, skin laxity, or subtle changes in fat distribution. This can result in an asymmetric or unstable eyelid fold, especially during blinking or facial movement.

Answer: Upper eyelid asymmetry Though an in person evaluation is best, based on the photos it appears you would benefit from an upper blepharoplasty. This surgery removes excess skin and can improve symmetry of the upper lids. Botox may give you some improvement, but surgery would be more notable and permanent.

Answer: Eyelid creases To achieve a permanent result you would benefit from an upper lid Blepharoplasty. In these procedures the surgeon is able to remove any excess skin or fat that causes the extra flap or crease to the eyelid.

Answer: Botox Hello! My name is Jessica, I am a physician assistant, and one of the providers at Aesthetic Skin in Winnetka and Chicago. This is a great question. It sounds like you're experiencing some changes in your eyelid crease that can be concerning. Botox can be effective in relaxing the muscles around the eyebrow and eyelid, potentially helping to lower the eyebrow and create a more defined crease. However, the results can vary based on individual anatomy and the underlying cause of the issue. I suggest trying Botox as a first step, it might be a good option to see if it provides the desired improvement without jumping straight to surgery. If you don’t see the results you want or if the issue persists, then considering surgery may be the next step. I hope this helps and best of luck!
