How do I know what crease size to get?

Question

I am researching for double eyelid surgery and I want a medium crease size but don't know where from 6mm-9mm. I'm thinking 9mm Additionally, I know that as swelling subsides your crease height will shorten. Will it shorten to the requested crease size or will it be shorter than that Is my surgeon measuring from the middle of my eye as the heightest point ? I'm interested in an almond shape with a soft parallel line

I think as a patient the most effective way of determining the optimal crease height and shape for your anatomy and to really enhance your facial features is to research surgeons who have the experience and technical expertise to achieve the aesthetic that you are looking for. By finding a surgeon that understands your goals and is able to meticulously execute that surgical plan you'll be able to consult and communicate about the best crease height and design for your eyes.

Based on your photos a 7.5-8 mm crease height with an outfold shape would be my recommendation for the most naturally pretty shape.

I was interested in this exact question years ago and did a study to determine the answer:

Hwang HS, Spiegel JH. The effect of "single" vs "double" eyelids on the perceived attractiveness of Chinese women. Aesthet Surg J. 2014 Mar;34(3):374-82. doi: 10.1177/1090820X14523020. Epub 2014 Mar 6. PMID: 24604790.

Hope this helps!
