I noticed this about a year and a half ago. I thought it was temporary but it continued on. It's really starting to bother me and my eyes look two different sizes. What can I do to fix it? My eye doctor didn't say anything and instead told me to go to my family doctor. $$?
Answer: Ok, your eye doctor does not know anything about this. Big, big difference between a general ophthalmologist and a fellowship trained oculoplastic surgeon. That extra crease is due to an attachment to the anterior levator aponeurosis. It is essentially impossible to release this adherence. A more practical solution is to lift the fold to eliminate the secondary fold. The right side also has to be adjusted to match the left side.

Answer: Eyelid asymmetry An examination will allow your surgeon to determine what type of procedure will best correct your extra fold. This could be performed under local anesthetic which would keep costs down.

Answer: How do I get rid of this triple eyelid? A full set of facial and eyelids photographs are required to make a determination about what may be going on here. As long as you do not have any ptosis, a small amount of excess skin can be removed triple eyelid so that it matches the opposite side.
