How should one determine if your face is more suited for parallel creases or tapered creases? (Photo)

July 29, 2015
Asked By:Rukiuia in Riverside, CA

I'm looking into my first asian upper blepharoplasty but I can't seem to decide if I should go with a tapered crease or a parallel crease. I do want parallel creases but I'm always worrying about wether or not it'll fit my face and look good. I want to look alert, brighter and have eyelids that aren't so heavy and that do not completely cover up my makeup when my eyebrows are relaxed. How should one determine if parallel creases will be suitable based on their facial features?

I accidentally rubbed my eyes, will the swelling go down? (photos)
Chase Lay, MD says:

What are the chances of getting keloid scarring from double eyelid surgery? (from a keloid prone male)
James R. Gordon, MD, FACS, FAAO says:

Even though you are prone to form keloids, this is very rare to see in the eyelids. It is important to inform your surgeon of your propensity to form them, so extra caution can be given. Make an appointment with an oculoplastic surgeon who handles Asian eyelids and complex cases. Good luck.

Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. Your eyelid might be swollen. You can try cold compresses and take Benedry at nighttime. If you are not improving, see an eyelid specialist who can manage unusual problems (oculoplastic surgeon). Your condition is likely to resolve with time.
