Causes of Multiple Eyelid Folds and How to Address Them

Double eyelids,

which make the eyes

look clearer and

more attractive,

are generally made

with a single line.

Sometimes,

you may see

multiple lines

that overlap.

Multiple eyelid folds can be

a distinctive and

attractive point,

but they can also

make the eyes look sleepy

and

make a person appear older.

Today, we will look at

the causes of multiple eyelid folds

and how to address them.

What are multiple eyelid folds?

This refers to a case where

overlapping creases form above

a single eyelid line,

creating multiple folds

each time the eyes

open and close.

In many cases,

both eyes are

asymmetrical,

so it can give an

impression of being untidy,

and it can also

cause fatigue more easily

when opening and closing the eyes.

So,

what causes multiple eyelid folds?

In general,

they are more likely to occur

when the eyelid line weakens

or becomes loose.

When the force used to open the eyes

has weakened due to ptosis,

or when aging causes

the skin of the eyelids to lose elasticity,

creases form and the eyelids sink in,

multiple eyelid folds

can develop.

Because

multiple eyelid folds occur

for various reasons,

it is important to identify the cause

through consultation about the condition of the eyes

and correct it for improvement.

Then,

why should multiple eyelid folds

be corrected?

There is an aesthetic reason,

since eyes that look sleepy and tired

can make a person appear older,

but if the fat in the eyelids

disappears too much,

it becomes difficult to protect the eyeball,

which can make the eyes dry more easily

and cause fatigue.

Also, because the size and shape of the eyes

do not remain balanced

and become asymmetrical,

surgery is recommended for improvement.

How does VN correct this kind of multiple eyelid fold?

To turn multiple lines

back into a single line,

it is important to perform surgery

using the appropriate method

depending on the amount and condition

of the remaining skin.

When the eyelids are thin,

skin sagging is also present,

so after appropriately removing

the extra skin,

a clear eyelid line is created.

If ptosis is present,

eyelid surgery and

eye correction are performed together

to improve the force used to open the eyes.

Because it is important to accurately identify

the cause of multiple eyelid folds,

when a diagnosis is made based on consultation

with a specialist,

multiple eyelid folds can often be resolved simply.

At VN,

we carefully identify the causes

of multiple eyelid folds

to complete a clear eye shape.

By identifying the cause of multiple eyelid folds

and analyzing the characteristics of each person’s eyes,

we will create a natural eye shape

that harmonizes with the face.

VN Plastic Surgery Clinic

before surgery and proceeds with
