Crease formed over monolid makes eye area uncomfortable. Is there a procedure for this? (Photos)

CA8765Jul 13, 2022
I used to have monolids but they turned double as I got older. The crease is heavy and uncomfortable. When I tilt my head up the crease disappears and the heaviness diseappears. However, I want to preserve the crease but also get rid of the heavy feeling. Is there a procedure for this?

More photos illustrating your eyelid height and contour would be helpful. It appears you may have a small amount of left upper eyelid ptosis (droopiness). Further evaluation is needed.
