Triple eyelid! What can I do to have my previous double eyelids back? (Photo)

Question

Recently I realise that I have a triple layer eyelid on my left eye. It gets worse if I don’t sleep enough or have a migraine attack. Then slowly this triple eyelid became a semi permanent fixture on my eye. It bothers me as I am starting to take more effort to open my left eyelid and also blink purposely to “adjust” the lids. What causes it? Is it my regular Botox? Or am I just ageing? What can I do to have my previous double eyelids back? Thank you

Normally there exists a connection between your eyelid muscle and skin that forms the crease whenever you open your eyes. It's not common for Asians to have a connection that is either naturally weak, or weakens with advancing age. That connection can be re-established during Asian blepharoplasty with supratarsal fixation to restore a crisp, symmetric upper eyelid crease.
