Double Eyelids with Multiple Folds, Also Called “Three-Fold Eyelids”! If You’re Worried About It, Here’s How to Improve It

Hello, this is INIQUE Plastic Surgery.

Even among people who have double eyelids,

there are those who are troubled

by the shape of their eyelids.

A representative example of a double-eyelid line

that you may not like is the

“double eyelid with multiple folds,”

also called “three-fold eyelids.”

This can appear in age groups where

aging begins, and because of the overlapping

double-eyelid lines, the eyes may not look clear

and defined, which can leave you feeling regretful

if they do not give others the impression you want.

If you are reading this post and have been

worrying about multiple-fold double eyelids

for a long time,

why not improve the layered eyelid shape

together with INIQUE Plastic Surgery,

which has its own distinctive surgical know-how?

First, we need to look at the causes of

double eyelids with two or more folds.

Multiple-fold double eyelids are caused when,

above the double-eyelid line, unintended wrinkles

form and create several layers.

This can happen for three reasons:

first, when a preexisting double eyelid loosens;

second, when there is insufficient soft tissue and fat above the eye;

and third, when adhesions occur due to surgery.

Even if you were born with double eyelids,

some people have multiple folds because

there was not enough soft tissue and fat above the eye

from the beginning.

And among people who previously had no double-eyelid line

and later underwent double-eyelid surgery,

because everyone’s skin tissue is different,

multiple folds can sometimes appear due to adhesions

caused by loosening.

Next, let’s look at how revision surgery can be done

for these three-fold or multiple-fold eyelids,

depending on the type.

INIQUE proposes the most suitable surgical method

for each of the following three types.

First is the case where the double eyelid has loosened,

which is one of the procedures performed at INIQUE.

When a double eyelid has loosened, it means that

the strength of the original double eyelid is weak,

or the shape is not ideal and has loosened,

or that the line loosened after double-eyelid surgery.

In such cases, the double eyelid must be fixed firmly again.

Among the methods that naturally secure the double-eyelid line

by adjusting the depth,

there is the INIQUE Smooth Incision Method.

The inner corner area of the eye is triple-fixed

so that it does not loosen, while the middle and outer parts

are secured at a shallower depth

to preserve a natural look.

Even within a single eye, the depth of fixation

is adjusted by area.

At this time, with 7 to 9 fixation points,

the spaces between each point are narrow,

which creates a smooth line.

Next is the procedure performed at INIQUE

when there is insufficient volume above the eyes.

Around the eyelids, there are skin,

muscles, other soft tissues, fat, and more.

If these tissues are properly positioned

and the volume above the eyes is sufficient,

that fullness can adequately cover the skin

under the double-eyelid line,

helping to form a clean double-eyelid line.

However, if the volume of these tissues is not properly established,

wrinkles can form above the double eyelid

and create three-fold or multiple-fold eyelids.

In such cases, INIQUE uses a method

that increases volume through fat grafting above the eyes.

This eyelid fat grafting, which prevents clumping

by transplanting microfat,

is an area that requires INIQUE’s own distinctive know-how.

Because the skin of the eyelid itself is thin,

the amount injected at one time must be carefully controlled

and limited,

so delicate procedures and extensive experience are important.

Since INIQUE has extensive experience

in eye surgery and revision eye surgery,

it can be considered even more trustworthy.

Lastly, when adhesions occur due to surgery,

this is the surgical method proposed by INIQUE.

After surgery to lower the double-eyelid line,

adhesions can occur at the height where the original double-eyelid line used to be,

leading to a three-fold eyelid.

For this, INIQUE uses the following approach:

first, the adhesion area is released;

second, fat and muscle are lowered and inserted

to prevent the adhesion from recurring;

third, if ptosis is present,

eyelid correction is performed at the same time.

This can be described as INIQUE’s adhesion-release procedure,

which releases the adhered area and helps prevent re-adhesion.

Double eyelids with multiple folds!

Today, together with INIQUE, we looked at the causes of

multiple-fold double eyelids and the plastic surgery

and revision surgery process for each type.

INIQUE does not perform the same procedure for every type;

instead, we propose the best plan suited to each case.

Because we have more than 5,000 cases of extensive

eyelid revision surgery experience mentioned earlier,

and because the know-how developed through that experience

has been recognized once again through the Minister

of Health and Welfare Commendation,

textbook publications, and paper presentations,

many people continue to visit INIQUE.

If you are concerned about three-fold or multiple-fold eyelids

and want to improve them now,

why not receive a professional consultation

at INIQUE, an eye plastic surgery specialist you can trust objectively?

Then, as if it had always been beautiful from the beginning,

this has been INIQUE. Thank you.
