What is the reason for multiple folds appearing over time after double eyelid surgery?

Hello~!

Your beauty universe! This is Weverse Plastic Surgery :) 💙

We have prepared the 8th Q&A session with Dr. Shim Jung-hwan! ❤

Today's topic is about 'multiple folds'.

What is the reason for multiple folds appearing over time after double eyelid surgery?

A: Usually, as time passes, especially in cases of non-incisional surgery, the original double eyelid fixation

gradually weakens, causing the original line to loosen and multiple folds to form above it.

Also, as we age, there is a problem of volume loss above the line.

In particular, as orbital fat diminishes and sunken upper eyelids occur, multiple folds are more likely to form.

When multiple folds occur like this, they can sometimes be resolved by strongly refixating the line while simultaneously performing ptosis correction.

If necessary, methods such as fat grafting to restore volume, or an incisional method to reposition and pull down the upper eyelid fat, may be required.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main reasons for developing multiple eyelid folds after double eyelid surgery?

Weakened fixation in the surgical area or volume loss due to aging are the main causes. Especially in cases of non-incisional surgery, the original double eyelid fixation can loosen over time, leading to multiple folds above.

Do multiple eyelid folds occur more frequently with age?

Yes, multiple eyelid folds can occur more frequently due to aging. As one ages, the volume above the eyes decreases and orbital fat recedes, and this hollowing of the upper eye area is a major cause of multiple folds.

What kind of surgery is needed to fix multiple eyelid folds?

It can be resolved by re-fixing the eyelid line strongly and performing ptosis correction simultaneously. Depending on the symptoms, this method alone may be sufficient for improvement, and it is important to create an appropriate surgical plan tailored to the individual's eye condition.

How are multiple eyelid folds caused by insufficient upper eyelid volume treated?

They are treated by filling the insufficient volume through fat grafting or upper eyelid fat repositioning. In cases where orbital fat is severely sunken, an incisional method may be necessary to pull down and reposition the upper eyelid fat.
