Will filler fix my double eyelid crease? If so, what's the best technique? (photos)

Question

I'd like to know if there was a way to correct the double crease I have on my left eye, to make it look more like the normal crease on my right eye. I would like to know if it can be corrected with a filler, and if so with what technique (needle, cannula,etc). If I look straight forward, it looks like i have more eye lid space on my left eye with a double crease, and I have to make my eye liner extra thick on the left eyelid to make up for it, but the double crease is still present. Thank you.

A better picture would be invaluable.  Your issue is that you have bilateral anterior levator disinsertion ptosis. You need an anterior elevator resection ptosis surgery with an anchor blepharoplasty to make a single upper eyelid crease.  Properly done, this will make your eyes your best feature.  It all starts with a detailed personal assessment.

Thanks for your question and submitting your photo.  Chasing this issue with filler will not yield good results.  Your eyelid ptosis (drooping) should be surgically corrected by a board-certified plastic surgeon or oculoplastic surgeon with extensive experience in ptosis surgery.  The benefit of surgery by an experienced surgeon will leave you with a refreshed look with open eyes and a single crease.  Best wishes for a great result.

This is a very interesting question that you bring up. Eyelid position, crease, and fold are unique and change over time. We cannot tell from a photograph which solution will be best for the crease because it also affects the fold. Filler can be used by an experienced oculoplastic surgeon around the eyelids to help the aesthetics of the eye. Schedule a consultation with an experienced professional to determine if surgery, fillers, or a tightening device will be best suited for you.

The only way to determine the best option is personal consultation.  I have published both surgical and non-surgical techinques to address multiple eyelid folds which can be found with a search of the scientific literature on pubmed.gov
