A lady is concerned about the sudden appearance of multiple folds on what used to be double fold upper eyelid, and fine lines on her lower eyelid. She wants to know if this is due to excess skin, and if fat injection can improve its appearance.
New York oculoplastic and reconstructive surgeon Amiya Prasad, M.D. reviews her concerns in this video, and explains the likely cause of the sudden development of multiple creases on her upper eyelid, how they can be treated by a specialist, and why the fine lines on her lower eyelid don’t need treatment:
1:15 - Dr. Prasad details his background training in cosmetic oculofacial plastic and reconstructive surgery, as well as his experience as an eyelid rejuvenation specialist
2:00 - Dr. Prasad explains how he determines whether to perform incisional or non-incisional surgery for Asian double eyelids
2:27 - The goal of both incisional and non-incisional approaches
2:38 - Dr. Prasad talks about the likely causes for excess creases on the eyelid
3:02 - Why Dr. Prasad usually opts for the non-incisional Asian blepharoplasty for younger individuals, and how this procedure is performed
3:51 - How fat grafting has no benefit in this scenario, and how the lines present there are only a natural result of facial expression
4:23 - Why it is advisable to consult with a specialist such as an oculoplastic surgeon who does a lot of Asian eyelid surgery, and Dr. Prasad’s recommendation

I'm born with double eyelid but when i grew up , i realized that my eyelid changed to triplet eyelid . I'm so stress about that ! And i don't want to have surgery ! 😭
Hi Ahn Yujin03,
Sorry to hear about your problem. However, surgery to strengthen the connection between your eyelid skin and the muscle that lifts the eyelid is the only way to correct multiple folds in our eyelid. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Same problem 😢
Hi@@Vishwa_S_11,
It is possible to correct this condition, if you are old enough, and after a proper physical evaluation.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD sir I'm 18 how can i cure it?
Hi@@Vishwa_S_11,
The details of how this surgery is done, and what the results look like, are shown in the video.
I'm born with single eyelids but as I grew older I have double eyelids and then many creases on certain days
Hi Mark Lee's Eyebrows,
It is possible that the connection between the eyelid muscle and skin is not very strong, which is why you have multiple creases on some days. The connection can be strengthened with surgery if you want a more consistent double eyelid. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMDwhy did the eyelid muscle weaken?
Hi@@jdinsomniac7504,
Some people are just born with a weaker connection between the eyelid skin, and muscle. It is also possible for a weakened connection to be caused by constant eye rubbing, or an injury. I hope this clarifies things for you.
I'm 16 (asian) and I sometimes get multiple folds on my eye if I wear my glasses for too long but I've been wearing glasses since I was 9 and I've never had this problem till now
Hi l e i l a n i ,
Sorry to hear about your problem. A physical exam is needed to determine the strength of the connection of your eyelid to the levator muscle before any corrective procedure can be recommended. I hope this helps you.
I have 3 eyelids... It's difficult for me to apply eye makeup 😭
Sorry to hear that, Jezz Kha. I hope the video helped you find out that it can be treated so it's easier for you to apply eye shadow.
I was born with many creases I've had them as long as I can remember and now they're bothering me... my eyes are small but i hate it... I was wondering if I put this eyelid double tape would a crease naturally form?
Hi M Shaz,
Eyelid tape can help the appearance of a double eyelid, but this is temporary and won't encourage the eyelid skin to make stronger connection to the eyelid muscle. A stronger connection between the eyelid skin and muscle has to be done through surgery. I hope this clarifies things for you.
My uneven eyelids frustrates me so much and I get annoyed because my right eye has a lot of creases, I also don't want to go to surgery so I do some exercises to see if it will even it out...
I have this and I’m not Asian. I tend to see this in asian’s though. I personally don’t mind it though, and I think it actually accentuates the almond shape of my eyes.
I wish I could be like you and appreciate it. I'm not Asian either and I have this issue and I hate it. I feel like it always makes me look depressed and tired, which just ruins my face.
i have triple eyelids and i think its pretty o.o
That's nice to hear, Julia Arcas :)
I agree! It has a seductive look to it hah, I love it.
Thank you so much for this video! It has given me insight on a very similar situation that I am facing and I feel less estranged with this topic and more calm and content with what to expect in broad terms. Thank you for taking the time to make this and I will ensure that I consult proper care with the information I have learned.
You're welcome, Animal finatic! I'm glad you learned from the video, and can make more informed decisions about your procedure!
I’m latina and Suddenly I got one eye with triple eyelid. I don’t know what happened. I used to have both eyes with beautiful and well defined eyelid.
Hi Lali,
Sorry to hear about your problem. The cause of this, as well as a possible solution need to be determined with a physical examination. I hope this helps you.
Hi Lali, this has just happened to me about a week ago and I’m freaking out.. did it go away over time??
ME TOO
hello now u r still have it or not?
I have a normally double eyelid too but i notice that there is now many folds in my eyelid and i suspect it its because of the styes that i had before.
Hi sielyn faye,
It is possible that styes may have loosened the connection between the eyelid muscle and skin, resulting in multiple folds instead of the double fold. A physical exam is needed to determine if the connection was weakened. I hope this helps you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD what should i do?? Is this a serious problem?? This makes me nervous.
Hi sielyn faye,
This is not a serious problem, but if it bothers you, you should see a surgeon who specializes in Asian double eyelid surgery. I hope this relieves you.
*Thank you so much*
You're welcome, Sielyn!
how to tighten the eye muscle naturally
Hi Odette Zuma,
Multiple creases are not caused by a weak eye muscle called the levator muscle, but a poor connection between the levator muscle and the upper eyelid skin. If you have a weak levator muscle, it's a different condition known as eyelid ptosis, where the eyelid droops. In eyelid ptosis, the muscle can't be strengthened, but it can be shortened or reattached. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hello! So I naturally have a double eyelid, (I’m Asian) but then the creases on my right eyelid got a bit deeper, and that was when I woke up. Like, I just woke up with the creases. It’s been there for about a week, and I’m worried it would not go away.
Should I be worried or it will go away on its own later? I am also 13.
Hi Kai Korii,
I don't think you should worry about it, especially at your age. You are undergoing changes as your face grows and matures, so I suggest you don't worry about this, and enjoy your youth. I hope this helps you.
Amiya Prasad, M.D.
Ooooh okay! Thank you!
You're welcome, Kai Korii!
Same one day when I woke up I hot tripple eyelid on my right eye
Tho I m still 14
Same to me too but ive kinda accepted it. I also think i got one triple eyelid because I had a face flare up and I think that could have contributed?
I'm Born With Double eyelid on my left eye While the right was Single eyelid. I'm uncomfortable with this because it looks uneven.
Hi Park Son Jul,
Sorry to hear about your problem. Double eyelid surgery done carefully and precisely can help make your eyelid creases more even. You can refer to these videos to see how it can be done:

Just turned 13 and I have eyelids a bit worse than her :(
I’m not Asian
Hi Valerie T.,
Sorry to hear about your problem. You are too young for cosmetic eyelid surgery, but if you have any issues with your upper eyelids affecting your vision, then a physical exam is needed by an ophthalmologist to see if that should be treated. I hope this helps you.
I have your same problem I’m not Asian ether or that’s what I’ve been told I have multiple creases or folds in my eye I hate it :(
Hi @@addison_laynee2092,
Sorry to hear about your problem. Having a weakened connection between the muscle that lifts the eyelid, and the eyelid skin can happen in any ethnicity. However, it can be surgically corrected using the same principles featured in the video. I hope this helps you.
Amiya Prasad, M.D. it really does thank you so much
You're welcome, @@addison_laynee2092!
I have those type of eyes and I'm not like the rest of my family because they have double eyelids but instead of hating my doubles eyelids with more lines they actually like it and praise me for it and also I like too because I have like this orangey type of pigmentation since I was a child on my eyes which looks like smokey eyeshadow which is awesome, and my grandma said that the pigment on my eyes tell what's the weather
I've always had double eyelids but since yesterday morning one of my eyelid became a triple creased eyelid. It did happen many times before but it usually goes away after some hours but it has been two days and it's still not gone. Is there a way to fix that without surgery ?
Hi peachy桃,
Sorry to hear about your problem. It is likely due to a weak connection between the eyelid skin and the muscle called the levator that lifts the eyelid. The only way to strengthen this connection for a more stable crease is through surgery. I hope this clarifies things for you.
I’ve had triple eyelids and dark circles since I was 4 or 5 which I’m guessing is from the chemotherapy I had when I was young idk but is there really no other way to fix it other than surgery? :/
Hi Jimin's Favourite Apple,
Sorry to hear about your problem. Multiple folds in the upper eyelids are caused by a weak connection between the eyelid skin and the levator muscle, so strengthening the connection does require surgery. Dark circles under the eyes can be treated without surgery. You can refer to these videos about treatment for dark circles:
ruclips.net/video/QBvjjvxPt2g/видео.html

I have double eyelids but how do I make it more Luke double eyelids because if you don’t look closer then I don’t have it so how can I make it more define like massage?
Hi Kimi Wu,
Massage is not recommended for your eyelids as they can loosen the connection between the eyelid skin and muscle that lifts the eyelid, and this connection creates the crease or fold. If you loosen it by massaging it, you will weaken the connection further, and you may lose your crease. The only way to create a double eyelid crease, or a more defined crease, is through double eyelid surgery, as featured in the video. I hope this clarifies things for you.
I will lose my double eyelids crease by massaging it?
Also I don’t have double eyelids before but now I have it does it makes sence that you will get double eyelids when your older?
i’m not asian and i have normal eyelids but recently for the past 2 weeks my right eyelid has become mono like asian and i dont know how this has happened or how to fix it. i’m only 19 years old and want to know around how much this surgery will cost
Hi Sherbet Star,
It is possible to have a loose connection between your eyelid skin and eyelid muscle that creates the crease, even if you are not Asian. A proper evaluation is needed to determine the cause, and the cost. There are no set costs for surgery as each patient has different needs, and some surgeries are more extensive than others. I hope this helps you.
I also have the same problem now, I was born with double eyelid all my life and suddenly there was a time I excessively rubbed my other eye from itch in which it resulted from it being triple eyelid and now it won’t go back to normal. It’s been 8months already and they are now uneven. How do I get it back to normal without surgery?
Hi March Seffelly Pestano Paclibar,
Sorry to hear about your problem. It is possible for aggressive eye rubbing to loosen the connection between the muscle that lifts the eyelid called the levator muscle, and the eyelid skin, as this connection is what creates the double fold. If this is the case, only surgery can reestablish and strengthen that connection. A physical examination is needed to confirm your issue. I hope this clarifies things for you.
I'm 21 and I recently got to know that I also have triple eyelid on my left eye, don't know since when I got this.
Should I worry about this? Hoping for your reply🙏🏻
Hi Muskan Achhava,
Having multiple folds in your eyelid is a cosmetic issue, and does not affect eye or eyelid function. It may be due to a weakened connection between your eyelid skin, and the muscle that lifts the eyelid. You can have it treated for a more defined eyelid crease, if you want to change its appearance, but there usually is no health or functional issue if you leave it as it is. I hope this clarifies things for you.

Hey Dr. Amiya, I live in NJ and would like to do the non incisional blepharoplasty (stitching). I had a Stye for about three years. After removing it surgically, I noticed a triple crease on my right upper eyelid (the same eyelid that had the Stye). I would like to schedule an appointment. Thanks!

Hello,thankyou somuch for the video,recently my eyes experienced this problem,extra lids/triple lids,your suggestion is surgery but i’m very afraid,is there any way to fix about this problem except surgery?? thankyou somuch
Hi eliz if,
Sorry, but surgery is the only way to strengthen the connection between the eyelid skin and the eyelid muscle called the levator for a stable, well defined crease. I hope this clarifies things for you.
To be honest I like the way I look with the triple eyelid... i used to have double lid before. Does triple eyelid cause any issues? Why does it need to be "fixed"?
Hi nino,
As long as your triple eyelid is not causing your eyelid to droop, which can affect your vision, it is purely a cosmetic issue. If the appearance doesn't bother you, and vision isn't compromised, then you don't need to have treatment. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi Dr. Prasad, I hope you can conduct eyelid procedures in different countries like here in the Philippines. How much would it be so that we can prepare atleast 🙁

Hi Nikki Singh,
Sorry to hear about your problem. As featured in the video, it may be due to a weak attachment between the eyelid skin, and the muscle that lifts the eyelid called the levator muscle. A strong attachment is what makes up a naturally defined crease. Strengthening this connection can be done with surgery, as shown in the video. I hope this clarifies things for you.

Hello Dr. Prasad
please i want to know is it possible if i used, without realizing, an oxidized vitamin c serum on my upper eyelids that it causes multiple folds on my upper eyelid?
Hi Watch Out,
It is highly unlikely as multiple creases are caused by a weak internal connection between the eyelid skin, and the muscle that lifts the upper eyelid called the levator muscle, and a topical serum would not be strong enough to cause this issue. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD thank you Dr a lot. i think it's another factor that caused it then

i have asian eyes with epicanthic folds. my eyes used to be symmetric but now my left eyelid has created multiple creases that interrupts the lining of my epicanthic fold, so now my left eye looks different compared to my right eye. i am 14 and it doesnt make sense to me that my skin is losing elasticity at a young age
Hi adrian,
Sorry to hear about your problem, but it's likely not due to skin elasticity, but a weaker fibrous connection between the eyelid skin, and the muscle that lifts the upper eyelid, as detailed in the video. This is a common issue, but one that can be corrected when you're an adult after your face has stopped growing. I hope this clarifies things for you.

I am a young Asian (15 years old) and have multiple folds on one eye. Is there a way to fix it without surgery?
Hi Bun Bun,
You are too young for surgery, but surgery is the only way to create a stronger connection between the eyelid skin and the levator muscle to make a single crease. I advise that you leave it alone for now, and possibly consider surgery when you're older if it still bothers you. Others have used eyelid tape and glue, but these are not measures that I personally prescribe. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD ok thank u
You're welcome,@@lildino8346!
How do you fix the connection of the muscles and skin? Seems impossible with blepharoplasty
Hi 4Morant,
Suturing the eyelid skin to the eyelid muscle called the levator is an essential part of creating the eyelid crease with double eyelid surgery, so it is indeed very possible. I hope this clarifies things for you.

Hello Dr. Prasad, I’ve had this issue for some weeks now on my left eye. I have hooded double eyelids but I noticed that when I press on them or even blink the crease position changes and I get multiple eyelid creases. It’ll remain like that for some time but then go back to being hooded. Is that typical? And is surgery the only thing that can fix it?
Thank you
Hi @SomiarOfDreamers,
Sorry to hear about your problem. Intermittent or temporary multiple, shallow creases are likely due to weak skin-to-muscle connection. The connection can be strengthened only with surgery for a stable, defined, and deep eyelid crease. Surgery can also treating hooding due to excess or stretched eyelid skin, as well as to reduce fat behind the upper eyelids. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD Thank you so much for your answer Dr. Prasad! Now I just have one mote question: Is the surgery to strengthen the skin to muscle connection a simple one? I’m only hesitant to get surgery because I already have issues with dry eye and I don’t want the surgery to exacerbate my condition.
Thank you
Hi@@SomiarOfDreamers,
Simple is not the right word as any cosmetic eyelid surgery is a complex science, and art. However, like any medical procedure the risks involved are minimized by the expertise, and experience of the doctor performing it. It's important that you choose a surgeon who has experience with double eyelid surgery, and operating on patients with dry eyes.
You can refer to these videos about performing eyelid surgery for people with dry eyes, and considerations for dry eyes in double eyelid surgery:

Im not getting a third eyelide but my right eyelid is changing crease if that makes sense? I can see where the old crese was folded but theres a new crease. Its not a big of a deal but it just annoys me so much
Hi Añora Leteu,
It is possible to have extra creasing due to a weakened connection between the eyelid skin, and the muscle that lifts the eyelid called the levator muscle. A proper examination is needed to determine your treatment options, if it really bothers you. I hope this helps you.
Are there natural exercises that can strengthen connection and give a defined eyelid
Hi Eman the baller Obika,
An undefined crease is not due to the strength of the upper eyelid muscle, but the strength of the connection between the eyelid muscle and the skin, which muscle exercises won't make tighter. A tighter connection between the skin and muscle will make a more defined crease. I hope this clarifies things for you.
I just got it yesterday on my one eye help
Hi @anime_bwai5486,
Sorry to hear that. As explained in the video, multiple creases are due to a weak muscle-to-skin connection. Surgery is needed to strengthen that connection for a stable double fold eyelid crease. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Can facial expressions change it over time? People mistaken me for being high, sad or depressed and it’s so annoying. I relax my face and you can’t see my pupil fully the top part is covered by my eyes I’m from the uk how much does the surgery cost?
Hi •thebrighteststar,
Sorry to hear about your problem. If the eyelid is covering your pupil, you may developed acquired ptosis, where the muscle that lifts the upper eyelid has weakened or stretched over time. Eyelid ptosis is treated by specialist surgeons called oculoplastic or oculofacial surgeons, like myself. You can refer to this video about how eyelid ptosis is diagnosed, and treated - ruclips.net/video/7gWSjQce3DQ/видео.html
Hi Doc, if i will apply eyelid glue everyday for years, would it somehow develop the eyelid shape that I want overtime? Would it also be permanent? I did have a stye several years ago and it resulted of uneven eyelid on my right eye 😞 and another thing, is the non-incisional procedure invisible in the eyes and permanent? Does it leave scars overtime or produce any side effects?
Hi E Ph,
No, because eyelid glue is only used externally on the skin, while a stable eyelid crease is created internally with a connection between the eyelid skin, and the muscle that lifts the eyelid called the levator muscle.
Depending on how non-incisional eyelid surgery is performed, and who performs it, obvious signs of surgery should not be seen at all, and the crease looks natural.
Expecting permanent results is not realistic, as eyelid surgery does not stop aging, so there could be skin laxity, and more fat in the upper eyelid as one gets older, which can obscure the eyelid crease. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD this is a big help thank you so much for taking the time to answer may question, you are very much appreciated Doctor, keepsafe always 😊

I have monolids but recently one eye would have 4 folds and the next day back to monolids but then next day the other eye has a ton of folds then the next day its both have a ton of folds explain??
Hi Asian Mom,
It's actually explained in detail in the video - a weak or partial connection between the eyelid skin and the muscle that lifts the eyelid called the levator can result in variations of shallow folds appearing invariably. Strengthening this connection surgically can create a stable and deep double eyelid fold. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Is there any way I could fix it or treat it at home. I woke up one morning like a month ago or so and my eyelid was tripled, now I didn’t worry because it had happened before and would go away, but now it’s stayed like this for about a month. Idk if it has anything to do with how hard I rubbed my eye because I did that I think, and also there has been dry skin that has flaked off my eye when I rubbed it too hard. I think these might be related but I really want to get rid of the triple eye lid. I’m still young and I wouldn’t really consider surgery, so is there any way I could fix it? Or what should I do?
Hi Yeti,
Sorry to hear about your problem. It is possible for aggressive eye rubbing to loosen an already weak fibrous connection between the eyelid skin, and the eyelid muscle. Only surgery can establish a connection between the eyelid skin and the muscle to create a stable and defined eyelid crease. Some people use eyelid tape or glue to artificially create a temporary crease, but I don't recommend this as pulling the adhesive on and off can cause more damage, and even damage the eyelid muscle, which can cause the upper eyelids to droop. I normally don't recommend double eyelid surgery until the early 20s when the face has stopped growing, and maturing. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Sir I have less fat in one of my eyelid that the reason its uneven I was taking steam everyday it's not due to weak connection in that case what'd I do??
Hi Itachi,
Steam will not affect volume above your upper eyelid. Treating a lack of volume above your upper eyelid is a different procedure, and it can be done non-surgically. You can refer to this video about it - ruclips.net/video/dCDRBngaq60/видео.html
Hi, I’m Asian and for one eye, I have several eyelid creases and for the other, it has double eyelid creases, but the eye with the several eyelid creases seems to be bigger than the other one. If I may ask, does it appear that way because of the several creases?
Hi ape lord,
There can be any of a number of reasons why one eye appears larger than the other, but the most common reason is bone structure positioning one eye differently from the other. I can't say the reason for yours for certain without physically examining your face. I hope this helps you.
I have a little bit fold in my eyes that make it look like triple eyelid, is surgery painful???
Hi 지아이들,
You won't feel anything during surgery as you would be anesthetized. I hope this clarifies things for you.
helloo, im 15 years old and I'm naturally have double eyelid (asian) , couple days ago, when i woke up suddenly my left eye has triple eyelid. is there any way to fix this other than surgery? should i worry about this? lately i often sleep at 12 o'clock, does that affect it? someone said it's because of my lifestyle. i need your answer pleasee
Hi Everill Nathasya,
Sleeping late won't cause multiple creases, as is usually caused by a weakened connection between the eyelid skin, and the muscle that lifts the eyelid called the levator muscle. Surgery is the only way to strengthen that connection for a stable and consistent crease, but you may be too young for that since your face is still growing and maturing. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi (asian) i have monolids those r soo small that normally people can't see and it's not visible even if i apply eyelid tapes its still not formed nicely and i can't findwhat crease will suit me and how to create that crease :(
Hi manbiakhoih guite,
A physical examination is needed to determine the type of crease your anatomy would naturally allow. A simulated crease can be seen prior to surgery by using an instrument or a swab to push the extra skin back over the eyelid. I hope this clarifies things for you.
I had double eyelids since birth and it's been two weeks or so my right eye has one more eyelid and I don't know what caused this but I want to correct it..
It used to disappear in the past but this seems permanent
Hi PranisHA HA,
As explained in the video, it's likely caused by a weak or weakened connection between the eyelid skin, and the muscle that lifts the eyelid called the levator muscle. This connection can be strengthened with surgery, as shown in the video and its thumbnail. I hope this clarifies things for you.
My case is little complex I have two fine creases on left eye it seems that it is lose muscle connection and on my write eye I have only one crease this side try to make second crease but the fat on it not allow it to make ....I need surgery on both of them??
Hi muhammad taha butt,
What it sounds like you have is actually not that complex, as you can have one eyelid with a weaker skin-to-muscle connection, and the other with extra fat preventing a more stable crease from forming. Double eyelid surgery often involves both strengthening the connection between the eyelid skin and levator muscle, as well as excising some fat that prevents a stable crease from forming. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Yess ....thanku so much sir
You're welcome,@@muhammadtahabutt2072
I don't have the face eyelids oof why is tbat
Like I have Asian eyes on my left and on my right is not the same
Hi Reigin Animss,
You may have a weak connection between your eyelid skin and the muscle that lifts the eyelid called the levator. This connection also defines the eyelid crease. You can refer to these videos about it:

I'm only 13 and have this, will this problem go away as I grow?
Hi,
Unfortunately, having a weak connection between the eyelid skin and the muscle that causes multiple creases cannot be outgrown. You're too young right now to have this treated, but it can be treated when you're older and your face is more stable after some physical growth and maturity. I hope this clarifies things for you.
(i have a 'cat eye' type of eye) I have double eyelids but sometimes my left eye got triplets eye lid and i really hate it. It makes my cateye ugly
Hi kyla esca,
Sorry to hear that, but I hope the video showed you the likely cause of the triple crease, and how it can be corrected, if you are at an appropriate age for cosmetic treatments. I hope this helps you.
I am turning 13 and I've had a triple eyelid and now I noticed I now have a another small eyelid above my normal eyelid beside of surgery are their still more way to just have a normal eyelid because my right eye just have 1 eyelid but my left eye have had a triple eyelid since I was born and when I'm taking pictures I can see my eyes are uneven
Hi Melber Cab.,
Sorry to hear about your problem. It is highly likely that surgery is the only way to correct this, but I wouldn't recommend it to someone your age as your face is still growing and maturing. Having multiple creases is a cosmetic issue, and will not affect your vision. If you are really worried about it, you can have it examined by an experienced doctor now, and consider treatment when you are a bit older. I hope this helps you.
Hello. A few years ago I was a bit chubby and my eyebags and eyelids looked more 'filled' in a sense. But I started to notice recently that while I did lose weight, my bags and eyelids seemed to have lost volume too. Now the creases are more apparent and it looks more loose now. Is that normal or was it caused by a different factor?
Hi potatomojito,
Orbital fat around the eyes, which does cause eye bags when they prolapse forward, is usually not lost when you are trying to lose body weight and reduce fat in other areas. However, fat volume in the cheeks and around the mouth usually diminish when weight is lost. You may be noticing the effects of the loss of cheek fat, but a physical exam is needed to confirm this. I hope this helps you.
I've noticed the same. Two weeks ago I had double eyelid, I lost 2-3 kilos in a week and now I have triple eyelid. They say it's from aging, but I'm 20-21... And it happened just one day that I woke up. Also, my eyes are way more different with each other than before bc one of my eye has the triple eyelid and the other doesn't, so one looks smaller and I look drunk (or high lol)... What could this be from? It's so weird, I hate it
Hi@@Jkjoannaki,
Sorry to hear about your problem. It isn't likely that aging or weight loss caused your triple crease, but it is more likely that you had a weak connection between your levator muscle that lifts the eyelid, and the eyelid skin. This may be pre-existing condition, or perhaps from injury. You can see more details about it in the video. I hope this helps you.
I’m 13 and one of my eye is double eyelid and the other is triple eye lid-
Hi Sissi,
As detailed in the video, it's likely due to a weak connection between the eyelid skin, and the muscle that lifts the eyelid called the levator. While we can strengthen this connection with surgery, I usually don't recommend surgery for someone your age as your face still has a lot of growth and maturity ahead, which will continue until your early 20s. I hope this clarifies things for you.
What is the minimum age for this double eyelid surgery??And what will be the cost?? I'm from India
Hi Vishwa S,
It is possible to perform double eyelid surgery in young adults as it is a genetic condition, but I usually wouldn't perform it on anyone too young. There are no set costs for surgery as each patient has different needs, and some surgeries are more extensive than others. I only practice in the US, so while consultation can be done online, surgery will have to be done in the US. Our offices are located in Manhattan, New York City which you can call at (212) 265-8877, Garden City, Long Island at (516) 742-4636, or Vienna, Virginia at (703) 356-1446. You can also reach us through www.prasadcosmeticsurgery.com, www.eyelifts.com, or www.pufffyeyes.com by filling out a contact form, and we will get back to you. I hope to hear from you soon.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD Thank you so much..actually am 18 I have multiple upper eye lids..US ..no issues..but 18 is poosible for treatment..is there any other non surgical treatment for this??
Hi @@Vishwa_S_11,
Surgery is the only way to create a stronger connection between the upper eyelid skin, and the muscle that lifts the eyelid called the levator. The point where this connection is made is where your eyelid folds, thereby creating a visible crease. There is eyelid tape to temporarily create a crease, but this has its own set of issues, such as daily application, unpredictability and inconsistency of results, and not knowing when it can come loose. Consideration for surgery for someone your age needs to be considered on a case-by-case basis, as I normally perform cosmetic surgeries on people who have matured to the point where the face has already stopped growing, so results are more predictable. I hope this helps you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMDThanks for the info..when do i know that my face stopped growing..is there any age for that?
Hi @@Vishwa_S_11,
Your face stops growing in your early 20s. I hope this clarifies things for you
I'm not Asian, I'm Caucasian and I have 2 folds in my right eyelid.
Why did you discuss only the Asian case ?
What can I do in my case ?
Hi RUclips Videos,
This happens most commonly in people of Asian descent, but it can happen in other ethnicities as well. A similar procedure can be done for Caucasian eyes, but the exact procedure can be determined after a proper physical exam of your eyelids. I hope this clarifies things for you.
My multiple eyelids (there are more than three) was like on and off but now it seems they extra lids don't go away(I've been wearing contact lenses for ages can that be the cause?
Hi Nita,
Sorry to hear about your problem. It is possible that your contact lenses further weakened the connection between the eyelid skin, and the muscle that lifts the eyelids called the levator. It's the strength of this connection that's needed for a stable and defined eyelid crease. I hope this clarifies things for you.
One of my eyelids have been like that for 8 months. But my other eyelid is normal. I am going to a eye doctor in February. Is there a natural way other than surgery? And if I get this surgery will it count as plastic surgery bc I don’t want to say I got plastic surgery.
Hi Hi Be,
Surgery is the only way to strengthen the connection between the eyelid skin, and the muscle that lifts the eyelid called the levator muscle. Technically, if you had a double eyelid before, and lost it, it would be counted as plastic surgery because it is correction or restoration. If you had a monolid before, and want a double eyelid created now, it would be considered cosmetic surgery. I hope this clarifies things for you.
I got an extra fold on my right eyelid and i am only 15 .. I compared my old photos with my recent pics and i see a huge difference on my right eye,It looks really tired . i had a small acne grown on the upper part of my right eyelid .. I am assuming it has something to do with my current prblm . Can u pls tell me will this fix on it's own ?
Hi Fahim,
An extra crease is usually due to a weak connection between the eyelid skin, and the muscle that lifts the eyelid called the levator muscle. An inadvertent injury may have caused this, but a proper diagnosis through a physical examination is needed to determine the exact issue. A weak eyelid skin-to-muscle connection usually does not resolve on its own. I hope this helps you.
I’m only 13 and I have a triple eyelid, can it fix itself as I get older ?
Hi Chrovio,
It is possible that you won't have this issue with future changes in tissue and bone growth, but you will have to wait and see with time. I hope this clarifies things for you.
i usually have one crease on both eyelids but all of a sudden i have two creases on one :( i want to fix it so bad it's the only thing i can see when i look at my face
Sorry to hear about your problem, denvernuggets12. I can help you with that when you're ready, and the current situation affecting our country is resolved. In the meantime, consultations through FaceTime and Skype can be booked from our temporarily virtual office, and cost of consultation can be deducted from your future procedure. I hope this helps you.
For me too. It feel uncomable too :( and look weird
When I was a kid I had normal double eyelids but later on I developed multiple creases (quadruple eyelid 😂) as well as a single crease under my eye. Is there a way to correct this naturally?
Hi Phoebe Mulia,
Multiple eyelid creases are usually caused by a weak connection between the eyelid skin and the muscle that lifts the eyelid called the levator muscle. The only way to strengthen the connection between the skin and the muscle for a more stable and defined eyelid crease is with double eyelid surgery. I hope this clarifies things for you.
I am asian and I only have monolids but one day I woke up with my left eye with double eyelid while the right is mono. why is that so?
Hi abcdefghijklmnop,
A natural crease since you were born is due to fibers making a connection between they eyelid skin and the levator muscle, and the eyelid skin folds into this crease when your eyes are open. An examination is needed to determine whether your new double eyelid is due to a weakened connection, stretched or redundant skin, and if the eyelid skin is folding into this new crease. I hope this clarifies things for you.
you should embrace that single double eyelid. Many kpop idols do and it’s wuite charming. Unless it’s wayyy to uneven.
Hello i want to ask why my eyelids are uneven like literally they are really uneven. In my right eye I have bigger amount of eyelid in the eye near my nose. But on my left eye, my eyelid has a bigger amount on the side near the ear. I am loosing confidence when I am talking to someone because they are noticeable. Can you recommend something to help me?
can I send a picture of my eyelid to you so you will understand better what I am talking about?
Hi Kimatzu Gaming,
Upper eyelid asymmetry is natural and normal, and usually not noticeable to others. If you really want to send your pictures for a preliminary review, you can send your pictures through prasadcosmeticsurgery.com/virtual-consultation/ or eyelifts.com/virtual-consultation/ or puffyeyes.com/virtual-consultation/ Please note that this is not a formal consultation, but a preliminary evaluation. I hope to hear from you soon.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD thanks for your responsiveness I have already sent the photos
I just uploaded the photo on your website, did you received it?
Hi@@quasarstories,
We have received several photos, but I don't know your real name you put in the form.
I'm 15 but I got these that makes me look old
Hi Darlyn Sobrio,
Sorry to hear about your problem, but you are a little too young to have this corrected, especially since your face will still be growing and maturing for a few more years. You can consider treatment when you are older like your early 20s. I hope this helps you.
I have triplet eyelid i don't want to do surgery.. Guyss!!! any tips to reduce triplet eyelids ??
Hi @PujaDas-xu2hx,
Sorry, but only surgery can strengthen the connection between the eyelid skin, and the eyelid muscle called the levator muscle to turn multiple creases into a stable eyelid crease/double eyelid fold. I hope this clarifies things for you.
You might be sleep deprived or dehydrated. If it’s not one of these, it might be another reason for swelling, or as the doctor said, weak connections. If it’s weak connections, surgery is probably the only fix.
how much would it cost to fix this issue of multiple creases?
Hi levi destin,
We don’t have set costs for surgery as each patient has different needs, and some surgeries are more extensive than others. You can contact our offices or our websites for a price range.

@@AmiyaPrasadMDhi doctor, I’m not from the USA, can you tell me what surgery will fix the issue of multiple creases? Please give me the name
Hi@@levidestin6783,
The procedure featured in the video is called double eyelid surgery, which is also called Asian double eyelid surgery as it's mostly people of Asian descent who are not born with defined double eyelids. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD thank you
You're welcome,@@levidestin6783
I was born with this and I want to get rid of it but I don’t want to get surgery
Hi Branden Morel,
Sorry, but only surgery can strengthen the connection between your eyelid skin and eyelid muscle to create a defined crease. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Sir I am 16 I already have eyelid crease (Triple eyelid)
I just want to get higher eyelid crease and want to get rid of multiple crease
Can I get blepharoplasty? Please tell me 🙏
Hi @flamingo4120,
I generally don't recommend cosmetic eyelid surgery for your people your age whose faces are still growing and maturing. I suggest you wait until at least your early 20s when your face is more stable before considering cosmetic eyelid surgery. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Thank you sir
You're welcome, @@flamingo4120
Cant u just get rid off them by doing it natural without surgery like a massagebor exercise ?
Hi gacha banana sisters,
Exercise or massage will not strengthen the fibrous connection between the eyelid skin, and the muscle that lifts the eyelid called the levator muscle for a stable eyelid crease. Strengthening this connection can only be done with surgery. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Can this be done with eyelid injection or like eyelid filler??
Hi ナンダス,
Sorry, but surgery is needed to strengthen the connection between the skin and the eyelid muscle called the levator muscle. It is at the point of connection that the eyelid crease folds, and filler can't make that connection. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD is it hurt?
Hi @@user-ep4qu6xo5x,
No, it doesn't hurt as I perform this surgery while you are under local anethesia, with LITE IV sedation, so you don't feel anything while you are in a twilight state of consciousness. However, you can still be awoken after surgery so we can see assess the results of your surgery, while you sit up under normal gravity. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMDthank u very much for your patience!
You're welcome, @@user-ep4qu6xo5x!
This is one of my biggest insecurity 😞 I have triple eyelid and it's a little saggy too
I wonder what kind of surgery procedure I should have
Hi Katlyn Kasfine Oganiza,
A physical examination is needed to determine the best procedure for you, but for your eyelid creases it is likely incisional, or non-incisional double eyelid surgery.
If you believe your upper eyelid is sagging, it is especially important to have it examined by an oculoplastic/ oculofacial surgeon for eyelid ptosis. In the absence of these specialized eyelid surgeons, you should see an ophthalmologist about eyelid ptosis. You can refer to this video about how I diagnose, and treat eyelid ptosis - ruclips.net/video/7gWSjQce3DQ/видео.html
I don’t like a double eyelid with wrinkles (asian) like I look sleepy asf
Hi Huai Nuam,
If you have the problem with multiple creases, then it can be helped.
I have triple eyelid on one side and that side my eyebrow is higher than the other, even smile line also...why??? Please doctor tell me ..I am 17..they were not during my birth
Hi Manmeet Kaur,
As described in the video, multiple eyelid creases are most often due to a weak connection between the eyelid skin, and the muscle that lifts the eyelid. Eyebrows can have an asymmetrical position due to bone structure as the two halves of the face form separately before birth. Your face is still growing at your age, so normally I don't recommend treatment until after the face stops growing in the early 20s. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD so I should visit doctor or not??
Hi@@manmeetkaur4483,
You can visit a doctor for a proper diagnosis, but if there are no pressing issues indicated, I would not recommend cosmetic procedures for someone your age. I hope this helps you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD thanku so much doctor
You're welcome,@@manmeetkaur4483
i have triple eyelids. it’s complicated
Hi Noelle Sung,
Sorry to hear that, but it's not so complicated as it is likely caused by a not so strong connection between the eyelid muscle and the eyelid skin, as explained in the video. It can be treated, if you like.
I have this and it changed my eye shape ://
Hi gabriela alonso,
Sorry to hear that, but this can happen in people who don't have a strong anatomic connection between their eyelid skin, and the levator muscle that lifts the upper eyelid. You can reach out to us if you'd like to get this corrected. I hope this helps you.
UGH I DONT WANT FUCKING SURGERY IS THERE ANY OTHER WAY .. I LITERALLY JUST WOKE UP WITH IT TODAY
Hi Kayla Whill,
I would give your eyes some time to adjust after waking up to determine if this is a chronic issue first, before you consider treatment. I hope this helps you.
I'm not Asian but I have this problem I'm Mexican
Hi Ana Victoria,
Sorry to hear about your problem. It is possible to have a weak connection from the levator muscle to upper eyelid skin in any ethnic background. A physical examination is needed to determine the problem, and what can be done to help you.
