Im asian and i have natural double eyelids, but sometimes when I wake up my right eye would become a monolid and my left eye would become a tripple lid. It usually lasts from a day to a week. What are the causes of this?
Hi ALoneWolf, I explain the likely causes of your issue in detail in the video you are commenting on, as well as this older video - .th-cam.com/video/hP2vwoggI5A/w-d-xo.html
Hi@@soonyun3862, Sorry to hear that, but there are instances where the eyelids are temporarily affected by swelling. If this issue persists, you can consider surgery to reestablish the connection between your eyelid skin and eyelid muscle called the levator muscle to restore a double eyelid crease. I hope this helps you.
I know it's sad I used to suffer a lot having different eyelids but now I have made my eyelids both the same naturally and permanently. Now I am very happy 😊
I’m Korean and I was crying and the next day I woke up and my left eye has double eyelid. I want it to go away because it’s irritating me. Why did my crying trigger a double eyelid crease on only my left eye?
Hi Justa Normalperson, I know you are just joking, but your levator muscle that lifts the eyelid and is an important muscle for blinking gets a lot of exercise without you being conscious of it, but it doesn't strengthen this very thin muscle.
I am from asia and i have monolids i am really very unhappy with it Thts definitely makes me less confident on myself ... I am really happy after finding this video Thanks from a real monolid girl
Hi@@flowermoney222, Sorry to hear about your problem. The causes of multiple creases is explained at 2:38 of the video, and it can be surgically corrected. I did make an older video about treating multiple creases to be become a stable crease - th-cam.com/video/Bp5M19lCDmw/w-d-xo.html
I'm an Asian and on some days I have a deep double eyelid on my left eye, some days on my right. Both my eyes are either monolids or triple eyelids most of the time though. And sometimes, very very rarely, both of my eyes both have double eyelids. When I was a child, up until around 11-12 years old, I had permanent double eyelids on both eyes but now it's super inconsistent. I've been curious as to why this happens. Is it because of sleeping habits, hydration level, etc? Having inconsistent eyelids is really annoying as it makes me self conscious especially when my eyes are monolids. Also looks like I got punched in one eye in pics as it looks really unsymmetrical.
Hi catbloom, 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. You can watch the video more closely for details. I hope this clarifies things for you.
thank you for the reassurance that it will come back 🙏 i woke up with a triple eyelid today and am praying for it to go back to double as soon as possible
Hi@@alexeyvishnyakov8132, As detailed in the video, multiple creases, or multiple intermittent creases are likely due to a weak connection between the eyelid skin, and the muscle that lifts the upper eyelid. This connection can be strengthened with surgery for a stable crease/ stable double eyelid fold. I hope this clarifies things for you.
How to explain me being mono eyelid for 30 years, and about one month ago, one of my eyes started showing crease, now it's very stable, the other one is now gradually becoming double eyelids as well...i did not undergo any kind of plastic surgery...Both of my parents have beautiful and very defined double eyelids.
Hi Nyssa Tang, It may be due to stretched or redundant eyelid. In people with an eyelid crease all their life, stretched skin due to aging may look like hooded skin over the eyes, but it is possible for some with a monolid with same condition to look like a new crease. A physical examination is needed to determine the exact cause. I hope this clarifies things for you.
My left eye have one eyelid and my right eye have double eyelid and I want it to be even gosh its so annoying when I want to take picture of myself , and then my eyes one look small and other look big.😑
Hi Cloudy zero447, Sorry to hear about your problem. It is normal for monolid eyelids to look smaller than double eyelids, which makes double eyelid surgery such a popular procedure so the eyes can appear bigger. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi Vivian Huang, Sorry to hear about your problem. I suggest you take a look at your eyelids when you are most alert to see if this problem persists. If your creases are still not prominent when you are most alert, then your eyelids can be examined more closely by an experienced eyelid cosmetic surgeon. I hope this helps you.
I went on a trip one day and because of that I had to wake up early and didn't have enough sleep,and my other eye turned into a monolid. Now it looks uneven 😭😭 and when I take a picture or a selfie it looks ewwwww
Hi Jian Asher, Sorry to hear about your problem, but waking up early one day is not going to cause you to have a monolid from a previous double eyelid. You may have had a weak connection between the eyelid skin and muscle previously, which became more apparent at a certain time. You can refer to the video to see how this is treated in adults whose faces have already stopped the growth and maturation phase. I hope this helps you.
Oop I actually don't know if my eyes were like that already before I went on a trip becauseI don't look in the mirror too often but what do I do? Im too young to have surgery D:
Hi@@jianasheranceno637, Sorry, you will have to wait until your a little older to have this treated. Double eyelid surgery shouldn't be done while your face is still maturing. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@jianasheranceno637 same today i woke up with one double eyelid and one monolids and i have a double eylids. Idk how to get rid of the monolids cause it has been stuck like this for a week now
Hi R3dPanda13, It is likely from a weak connection between the muscle that lifts the eyelid called the levator muscle, and the eyelid skin, as described in the video. I hope this helps you.
Hi man, I recently woke up with my right double eyelid missing, and I find this very unusual. I have watched your video, and I still don't understand. My left eyelid is very strong, and I was born with double eyelids. Please help.
Hi sasaki., Sorry to hear about your problem. It may be an issue with the strength of the fibrous connection between the muscle that lifts the eyelid, and the eyelid skin. A physical examination is needed to diagnose the exact cause. This connection between the muscle and the skin, which is where the eyelid crease forms, can be strengthened or attached with surgery. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi Rosella Gomez, Unless your eyelid droops and affects your vision, cosmetic eyelid surgery is a personal preference rather than an absolute necessity. Surgery can be done to make both eyelids double eyelids, if that's your preference. I hope this helps you.
My left eye has double eyelid, but my right eye has monolid, but i could change it into double eyelid temporarily, when i stretched it out, it went to monolid back again, is it normal?
Hi Kyuraz K, I suggest you don't stretch out your eyelid skin as it is very thin and delicate at 0.5mm thick, and you don't want to suffer from premature skin laxity. I hope this helps you.
Hello Dr. Prasad! Your videos are extremely informative and I appreciate the special attention you pay to Asian eyes. I am curious about what is or is/not considered a double eyelid. I'm Korean and my eyes are somewhat similar to the patient shown at 4:27 , who appeared to have asymmetrical eyes in the "before" photo. His left eye in the "before" seems to have a "hint" of a double eyelid, while his right eye appears to be a typical monolid. Would you consider his left eye to be a true double eyelid? Also, for this type of asymmetry, would it be possible to "fix" the right eye to match the left eye (rather than doing both eyes like the patient shown)? Also, for an older patient like me (51), would it make sense to perform some kind of procedure to preemptively address sagging (i.e., ptosis) of the upper eyelid skin in addition to addressing the epicanthal fold issue? I have no sagging issues currently; however, both of my parents have extreme ptosis, so I know it is inevitable. Thanks!
Hi hejiranyc, I would consider his left eye before as a shallow, undefined eyelid crease, so surgery is still needed to make it a deep, and defined double eyelid. Double eyelid surgery creates defined creases, and not shallow creases like his left eyelid before surgery, so what you suggest to match a shallow crease isn't likely possible. There is a difference in eyelid ptosis, which is a weakened or detached levator muscle; and dermatochalasis, which is eyelid hooding or sagging due to stretched or redundant skin. Both these issues cannot be treated in advance as a preventive measure as this would risk eyelid function in opening and closing the eyes. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi julia, An intermittent eyelid crease may be 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 crease is with double eyelid surgery.
Hi kae san, Sorry to hear about your problem. As explained in the video, it could be due to a weakened or weak connection between the eyelid skin, and the muscle that lifts the eyelid called the levator muscle. It can be examined for possible treatment to strengthen the connection, and stabilize the crease. If you can't see us for a diagnosis, I suggest you see a local doctor for an examination. I hope this helps you.
Hi@@notoriousnugs6642, The video shows how multiple, undefined creases can be made into stable, defined eyelid crease with surgery. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi@@Beelover9000, Some people use tape or adhesive to temporarily create a crease, but I don't recommend this because it can irritate very delicate eyelid skin, and removal of tape or glue can do damage to the muscle that lifts the eyelid, and that would be a more costly surgery to correct (ptosis correction surgery) than double eyelid surgery. I hope this clarifies things for you.
I had on my left eye a natural Double Eyelid but when I woke up I had puffy eyes so it disappeared.Any tips how to get it back?(I‘m half northasian and half Caucasian)
Hi *insert tongue pop*, I would need to physically examine your eyelid before making specific recommendations for your situation. I hope you understand.
Hi @sadiemaxfield7566, One of the main reasons why people have double eyelid surgery is that it makes the eyes appear bigger, and more open, so it's not only about creating a crease/ double eyelid fold. It is completely understandable that you like the appearance of monolids. It's also important to keep in mind that people without an eyelid crease want to have them first to make themselves happy, not others. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi Grace Z., It is possible that fat does prevent a more defined eyelid crease, which is why fat is also removed in double eyelid surgery in addition to possibly skin, and for creating a connection between the eyelid skin and muscle to create the crease. I hope this clarifies things for you.
im Asian and i have mono laid but sometimes one of them like if im it hyping my eye or something it will go into a sorta crease and it bugs me then it will go back to normal 😂
Hello, Im asian and I have monolids for both eyes but recently Ive been getting double eyelids and creases started to form. My dad had a similar case and he eventually developed double eyelids as he grew older. Is there anything I can do to maintain my monolid and prevent getting double lids
Hi@@user-hqevdeg662, Multiple creases like triple folds can be corrected surgically to a double eyelid by strengthening the connection between the eyelid skin and muscle. It's explained in detail in the video. I hope this helps you.
i normally have monolids...but when i wakeup sometimes one eye has double eyelid...the weirdest thing that happened to me before was when i had conjunctivitis, i have double eyelids for the duration of the infection :/
My right eye is a double eyelid and my left one is monolid i have this for a year now it used to be both double eyelid how can i get my left eye back to normal without a surgery please help i really need it
Hi Klex, You likely had a weak connection on your previous double eyelid. Surgery is the only way to make a connection between your eyelid skin and eyelid muscle to create a crease/double eyelid fold. You can consider eyelid tape/glue, but these only make a temporary fold in your eyelid skin. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi@@LuminousAW, No, they just temporarily create a crease when they are applied. Tape or glue cannot create lasting internal connection between the muscle and the skin, which can only be done with surgery. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Im Asian am i only have one double eyelid but it only appeared 2 years ago and till now its still here. Sometimes i wake up with single eyelid but it normally only lastes for a day. This is my most insecure thing ever:(
Hi Zhi Yu Tam, Sorry to hear that, but it's probably due to weak connection between the eyelid skin and the levator muscle that lifts the eyelid. The connection may be made stronger on both eyelids for a stable crease, if that's what you would like. I hope this clarifies things for you.
I’m Asian and this morning I woke up with triple eyelids on my left eye, I usually have double eyelids. It’s been 8 hours and it still hasn’t been fixed. What do I do??
Hi Gacha Club LinaArt, Sorry to hear that, but do you still have the problem? If so, you need a physical examination to see the connection between your eyelid skin and levator muscle that lifts the eyelid may be made stronger for a more stable double eyelid fold. I hope this helps you.
@Dr. Prasad, Amazing presentation! You are very intelligent, informative and the care you take to explain in detail with photos is fantastic. I like to learn facts and today I wanted to learn the mechanics of a monolid vs double eyelid. I'm not interested in surgery for myself or anyone else, however, I was impressed by how much detail you put into explaining the options and techniques to achieve the patient's wants. Then, what a surprise in the detail box! You wrote the time stamp for each topic in the video! Thank you again for your content. It was not easy finding this information on TH-cam amid all the make-up tutorials. (Side note: I would be interested if you did a video on BTS. For example, Kim Taehyung has one monolid and one double lid naturally. )
You're welcome, L Foster3! I'm really glad the video helped you. And thanks for the appreciation. I generally don't do videos that feature celebrities, which you can see throughout my channel. I'm more focused on helping anyone learn more about cosmetic procedures so they can make better, more informed decisions when considering a procedure. I hope this clarifies things for you.
I’m Mexican and one day I was crying 💀 and went to sleep and the next day my eyes were puffy and I had a mono which before I’m pretty sure I didn’t. I hoped it went away but to this day my eyes are still like that and I want them back to normal but I don’t know how I could do that.
Hi icnayana diaz, Sorry to hear about your problem. Your condition is likely not due to ethnicity as Asians with monolids have them since birth. You may have loosed the connection between your eyelid skin and eyelid muscle called the levator muscle, resulting in the monolid. A physical examination is required to diagnose your condition definitively. I hope this helps you.
Im only like quarter Chinese and was born with nice creases but then now at age 11 they just started looking more monolid and it’s like the chinese part of me is taking over like I have a similar problem and I was never fat or anything
Hi Miss Human, You are still going through growth and maturation changes at this age especially, which will continue for awhile, so I don't recommend treatments until you are older. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi @Bonixcq, Sorry to hear about your problem, but it is more common than you think. Your monolid can be made into a double eyelid with surgery, and your natural anatomy would allow it to look like the double eyelid you have in your other eye. You can watch the video more closely to learn why, as well as this other video on how your natural anatomy determines your eyelid crease shape, even if you don't have a crease yet - th-cam.com/video/OFFIDx_4E4c/w-d-xo.html
Hi Jung Coke, Ethnicities that have about half of their population with natural double eyelids include Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. Double eyelids are common in Malay blood that includes Malaysians, Indonesians, and Filipinos. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi SwiftlyMateo, Sorry to hear about your problem. I recommend you let the area recover a bit, and if the problem is still visible after some initial swelling due to the injury, you should have it examined by doctor for a proper diagnosis, and see what your treatment options are. I hope this helps you.
Hi Mack, Sorry to hear about your problem. An intermittent or lost eyelid crease may be 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 crease is with double eyelid surgery, as shown in the video. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi I have a question! If one frequently uses double eyelid tapes (tape you put on to create a strong defined eyelid crease) would the levator muscle get used to the fold and eventually make a connection with the folded skin the double eyelid tape makes and turn into a strong/somewhat of a double eyelid?
Hi Bob, The natural connection between the levator muscle and the eyelid skin is made with fibers, which will not establish from using eyelid tape. This fibrous connection is replaced by sutures in double eyelid surgery, which then heals over after the sutures are removed to create a stable eyelid crease. Pulling eyelid tape repeatedly can actually damage or stretch the thin levator muscle over time, leading to eyelid ptosis. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD Hi doctor, I was wondering, if you eat the fibrous food, or stay hydrated, will your double eyelids stay consistent? I also have days where I have double eyelids and some days where I don’t. But most times its only one eye changes at a time rather than both but it makes me look asymmetrical.
Hi@@sonamdema543, As detailed in the video, an unstable eyelid crease is due to a weak connection between the eyelid skin, and the muscle that lifts the eyelid. Your diet will not change the strength of that fibrous connection, but the connection can be strengthened and reinforced in double eyelid surgery using sutures. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi Shravan p.v, Blood tests don't determine if you have male pattern hair loss because all men have DHT in their bloodstream, but not all men have genetic scalp sensitivity to DHT. I hope this clarifies things for you.
hi! i was born naturally with both my eyes faint folded but my left eye a little more "double eyed" and the right one less double eyed with a very slightly faint crease. these past months i have been using double eyelid tape to try to even out my eyes to make them appear more double eyed and more symmetric. it usually stays under the day but then sometimes it disappears and returns monolid. but when it stays and then i go to sleep both my eyes become completely monolids when i wake up and i wonder what really causes this and what i can do to prevent it?
Hi angelica, A double eyelid is the result of a natural connection between the eyelid skin, and the muscle that lifts the eyelid called the levator muscle. Constant manipulation of the eyelid skin with tape or glue can weaken this natural connection, which may result in a monolid. An examination is needed to determine if the connection has been weakened, resulting in a monolid. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi Voltz, As explained in the video, the likely cause is a weak connection between the eyelid skin and the muscle that lifts the eyelid called the levator, and how the connection can be strengthened with surgery for a stable eyelid crease. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi Amy, Sorry to hear that, but both these issues can be treated, but an examination is needed before determining specific procedures. I hope this helps you.
Hi val, Sorry to hear about your problems. This can likely be surgically corrected for stable double eyelids on both sides by strengthening the connection between the eyelid skin, and the eyelid muscle, if you wish. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi, Sorry to hear about your problem. As detailed in the video, an intermittent eyelid crease is most likely due to a weak connection between the eyelid skin, and the muscle that lifts the eyelid. This connection can be strengthened with surgery for a stable double eyelid. I generally recommend eyelid surgery at the minimum age of the early 20s when faces have stopped growing, and maturing. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi @cornsoup3213, It depends on the meaning of "uneven". Uneven height between the two eyelids is caused by bone structure, as both halves of your skull or formed separately, so there is a natural asymmetry between most people of 1-2mm that is unnoticeable to others because it's so common. Uneven eyelid creases described in the video is caused by the strength of the fibrous connection between the upper eyelid skin, and the muscle that lifts the eyelid called the levator muscle. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hello, I am Korean, and I have protruding round eyes where the upper lids are now exhibiting multiple creases. I also have no fat around the eyelids which seems to emphasize the protruding appearance. From the profile you can see the outline of my eyeball sticking forward. I am wondering if a blepharoplasty is the right choice or will it make my round eyes appear too round and startled. I am trying to reduce the multiple creases if possible as I get older.
Hi Jeannie Lee-Mirzayan, It's unclear if your eye protrusion is something that you've always had, or something that developed recently. That is something that I would need to know before recommending a treatment for multiple eyelid creases. I hope this helps you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD I used to have monolids as a child/teen and fatty lids. Now that I am 50, the fat above the lids is gone which is highlighting the protrusion.
Hi@@JeannieLeeMirzayan, I would have to examine your eyelids and eyes before making a specific recommendation. The cause of your protrusion is still unclear, but it it's not a separate issue, creating a stable crease is pretty straightforward. I hope this helps you.
Hi Tenzin Palyon, Most people who've had double eyelid surgery would disagree with you as it has made a huge difference for them. Your anatomy, including your unique bone structure, determines where your eyelid creases would be if they were created naturally. You can refer to this video about it, as well as why there are limits in changing eyelid shape/placement: th-cam.com/video/OFFIDx_4E4c/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/xU7EKwBXdmY/w-d-xo.html
Hi Louise陸嘉美, The strength of the eyelid skin-to-muscle connection would need to be examined if you want a stable, more defined double eyelid through surgery. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi Kristina Gurung, About half of people of Asian descent don't have an eyelid crease, so you're definitely not alone, but it can be created with surgery. Please let us know if you'd like us to help you with it.
I have one eye double eyelid and another is the "smaller" double eyelid and as a kid I was use to said that I have different type of eyes to my mom (but my childhood I have both looks like monolid and now I'm confused)
Hi, It is possible for one of your eyelids to have a weaker skin-to-muscle connection that causes a less defined crease, as detailed in the video. Without examining your eyelids, I can't make a more detailed assessment of the issue you may be having. I hope this helps you.
Sorry to hear about your problem, @alexander-3187. The issue is likely caused by weak fibrous connection between your upper eyelid muscle, and the skin, as explained in the video. This can be corrected by surgery when you're an adult, if you're still not of age. I hope this reassures you.
I am the first who watch this video I am the first who like this video I am the first who comment on the video I AM YOUR BIGGEST FAN DOC. ARSALAN Really love your video and thanks for the proper guidence
I don't have double eyelids period! Don't really care, but was curious why some people had them and some people didn't. Both my parents have double eyelids.
Hi Jason Lee, About half of people of Asian descent do not have the connection, or a strong connection, between the eyelid skin and the levator muscle to form an eyelid crease. However, people without an eyelid crease still have the anatomical structures to allow for a naturally appearing crease if the connection is made or strengthened with surgery. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi Ivy Laughton, An examination is needed to determine if you are a good candidate. Keloid scarring, especially in dark skin, can be avoided if you have a surgeon experienced in performing surgery in ethnic skin types. You can refer to this video about it - th-cam.com/video/ZNkvC941ng4/w-d-xo.html
Hi Chen Marino, Sorry to hear that it affects you so much, but it likely can be addressed with double eyelid surgery on the eyelid without a crease. Please let us know if you'd like us to help you with that if you're at the right age for surgery.
Hi KDS Sharma, Sorry to hear about your problem, but I would need to physically examine your eyelid to diagnose the issue first, then recommend a treatment. If it appears like the examples in this video, it could be eyelid ptosis - th-cam.com/video/7gWSjQce3DQ/w-d-xo.html
HELP ME DOCTOR!! My eyelid used to be a double eyelid. Then one day only ONE of my eyelid turned into a saggy lid (NO CREASE AT ALL!!) it makes half of my face look mad and uneven. How do I get the double eyelid back without surgery? I had dry eyes and clogged oil glands does that have anything to do with it?
Hi Asmr, Sorry to hear about your problem. The eyelid crease is a result of internal fibrous connection between the eyelid skin, and the muscle that lifts the eyelid called the levator muscle, so the only way to replicate that natural connection is with surgery. A crease that disappeared is likely due to a natural connection that wasn't so strong. Dry eyes, and clogged oil glands aren't directly associated with the connection between the eyelid skin and muscle. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi SOMMUNGCHIS BLINK IF YOU'RE A TEAUME, Sorry to hear that, but it may just be temporary swelling from an insect bite or something, or if it persists, an examination is needed to determine the cause. I hope this helps you.
Hi W, No, as creating a connection between the eyelid skin, and eyelid muscle to create a crease, or make it more defined, can only be done with surgery. You can refer to this video about it - th-cam.com/video/CEj1SwUAlns/w-d-xo.html
Hi candy crush, If you have a natural monolid, it should return. You have a monolid because there is no connection, or a weak connection between your eyelid skin and the muscle that lifts the eyelid. A connection will not form on its own to create a stable double eyelid, so your monolid should return. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi!!! First and foremost THANK U for the informational video! But lately I’m really worried... I was with even double eyelids but since December my right eye look bigger and became monolid! I told my dr I think I have a Thyroid eye disease but he said he didn’t think so.... please let me know what u think? It’s been bugging me! TIA
Hi chad m, Sorry to hear that. If your doctor examined your eyes, and I have not, it's not my place to disagree with your doctor, unless I also examine your eyes to give a proper second opinion. An examination is needed for me to give you my diagnosis. I hope this helps you.
Amiya Prasad, M.D. thank u so much for responding dr! 😄 but just wondering if other than TED could other things caused it? My eye is not buldging out or anything
Hi@@chadm4885, I'm a little confused by you saying your eyes look bigger, but not bulging. There may be cause of swelling like a bug bite, but I can't confirm this without examining your eyes. I hope this helps you.
Amiya Prasad, M.D. I wish you were from my state or close I’d love to get a consultation... but yes it is bigger but not bulging, it’s like the eyelid elevated and and now becomes a monolid and exposes by whole pupil like the circle.
Hi@@chadm4885, I would have to examine it before making a recommendation, but perhaps you can have it examined by a local surgeon. I hope this helps you.
i was born with monolids suddenly one eye turned into a double eyelid and now i have monolids again😭 how can i correct this and get double eyelids in both eyes ??
Hi RUICAN HUANG, The only way to get stable double eyelids is to strengthen the connection between the eyelid skin, and the muscle that lifts the eyelid called the levator. Strengthening or establishing this connection can only be done with surgery, as shown in the video. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi MARIE -kitkat, It is possible that one eyelid has a weaker skin-muscle connection than the other, which can be inborn, or due to injury you didn't notice. Surgery can strengthen this connection for a stable double eyelid, as shown in the video. I hope this helps you.
I’m Asian, and I have double eyelids. I woke up one day, and my right eyelid became like a triple eyelid. It became bigger than the other one. It started in December, and I have had it until now. How can I fix it? PS: I tend to sleep late at night and nap in the afternoon. PS: I had it before, but it will also go back to normal after a few hours, but this time it's been a month
Hi selín, 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. You can watch the video more closely to learn more about it. I hope this helps you.
i also have the same problem. i want it to go back to being just double eyelid and not triple. but all i heard from the video is how they make a monolid have a double eyelid, nothing about a triple eyelid getting back to just double eyelid.😭
Hi@@mmgst, As stated in the title, and in the video, some people can have multiple, undefined eyelid creases because of a weak eyelid skin-to-muscle connection. A stable eyelid crease/double eyelid can be created with double eyelid surgery for this condition. I hope this clarifies things for you.
PLEASE REPLY I’ve talked to over 10 plastic surgeons in taiwan and they refuse to perform double eyelid surgery on one eye because i have a double lid and mono lid is it required to perform it on both eyes? because i really do not want to change my existing double lid
Hi @exohamster2658, While it is possible to perform double eyelid surgery on only one eyelid, your natural double eyelid needs to be examined for stability, depth, strength of connection, symmetry, and how it would appear with your surgically altered eyelid. I would have to perform a physical examination of both your eyelids before I can give you a definitive answer. I hope you understand.
My brother has one mono eyelid and one double eyelid whereas I have weird mixed double eyelids (weird in the sense that they don't really look double like crease is less)
Hi luminte, You may have a less defined, or shallower crease due to a not so strong connection between eyelid skin, and the levator muscle that lifts the eyelid. Double eyelid surgery can make a shallow crease deeper and more defined, and can also make monolid a double eyelid. I hope this clarifies things for you.
one of my eye is double eyelid and it clearly shows the creases and my other eye is also double eyelid but it looks swollen and does not show any crease.Now one of my eyes is bigger and the other is smaller :(
Hi, Sorry to hear that. A defined eyelid crease does make the eyes appear bigger, and there is also natural asymmetry between the two eyes, so what you are seeing is not unusual. You can have this examined in consultation to see what your options are for treatment. I hope this helps you.
Me before i don't have monolid or eyelid i remember one night i cried and cried and cried when i wake up in the morning just like i cant open my eyes just like my eyes are swelling the next day i got shock when i saw in the mirror i have monolid but its not clear and as times goes on my monolids comes out more and more just like i have under surgery but not its natural and i love6 it 😊😊 i have an upper eyelid too
Hi @christian61732, Sorry to hear about that. As detailed in the video, the only way to strengthen the weak connection between the skin and muscle, causing a double eyelid to turn into a monolid, is with surgery. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi doctor The video is quite informative.I have a double eyelid on one eye that is perfectly normal but the other is monolid from the inner corner but at the outer edge my eye has a double lid.I think its due to thickness of my skin,where i have a monolid there's an extra crease.The area where i live i dont know any specialist surgeon in this regard.thats y i want to get this problem done by natural ways. For this purpose i had ordered a monosided eyelid tape.I have used the tape for about week.Whenever i use that my eyes get puffy and swollen.Therefore i aviod using tape.Please tell me a solution regarding this problem. Thank u
Hi Areesha khan, Sorry, but a connection between the eyelid muscle and skin to create a crease can only be done with surgery, or if you were born with a stable connection made by fibers between the skin and muscle. Tape, adhesives, or exercises cannot create an internal connection between the eyelid skin and muscle. I hope this clarifies things for you.

@@AmiyaPrasadMD okey 😁 doctor Tysm 💗🤗. Btw doctor I'm not really looking for surgery right to become double eyelid,but can i know is it really costly to 🥺get that surgery??? I mean cost 💸 around? Indian rupee.?
Hi@@akishohe5530, We don’t have set costs for surgery as each patient has different needs, and some surgeries are more extensive than others.

One eye of mine is double lid and it looks nice, but the other one have 4 folds and it looks absolutely disguting. I'm only 15, can i change it back to my normal double eyelid with eye massage? Both of my eye was a double eyelid before..
Hi JaiChan, Please do not massage your eyelids as it won't accomplish what you want, and it can make things worse. Eyelid skin is the thinnest skin in the body, so it's very delicate, and you can loosen the muscle connection that establishes the crease to make it worse. You can consider strengthening the connection between the eyelid skin, and muscle to form a stable crease when you are a little older, but I usually don't recommend eyelid surgery for someone your age who is still growing and maturing. I hope this helps you.
I have one single eyelid & one double eyelid ( i hate it 😩 ) .. is there a way like an exercise to fix my one single eyelid instead of doing surgery ??
Hi Chicken Dinner, Sorry, the eyelid crease is a result of internal fibrous connection between the eyelid skin, and the muscle that lifts the eyelid called the levator muscle, so the only way to replicate that natural connection is with surgery. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi Maya L, No, this is caused by a weakened connection between the eyelid skin, and the muscle that lifts the eyelid. Too much screen time can strain your eyes, while a lack of sleep can cause temporary dark circles or puffiness in the eyes, temporary droopiness, but won't affect eyelid crease definition. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hello i normaly have double eyelid but when i grew up my left eye became triple while my right eye is double i think its because of me crying. How to fix
Hi lXURY, 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, as detailed in the video.
Hi Arthur Monteiro, Native Americans do have Asian roots, and a weak eyelid crease can occur in any ethnicity. However, I would still have to examine your problem for specific treatment recommendations. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi @5612.J, You can watch the video to see how a monolid, or multiple shallow creases can become a stable double eyelid with double eyelid surgery. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi detnee, A consultation is needed to determine what you would like to improve your eyelid appearance, and what can be done in treating your eyelids. I hope this helps you.
Hi Watch Out, I have my eyelid surgery patients use cold compresses for 20 minutes on, 20 minutes off for the first two days after surgery. While limited cold compress use should not damage your eyelids, it's not clear why you want to use it, so it's not something I can recommend without a reason. I hope this helps you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD thank you doctor 🙏 my left eyelid was getting hooded or droopy so i used the direct ice on it but then my eyelid got inflammed and almost a mild frostbite and i got prescribed some eyedrops
Hi@@watchout2214, Ice or cold compresses are not the appropriate treatment for hooded, or droopy eyelids. Eye drops are at best a temporary treatment (as in minutes for things like photos) for droopy eyelids. You can refer to this video about the differences between droopy, and hooded eyelids, and how the different treatments for them - th-cam.com/video/sg1RkMZ5iVM/w-d-xo.html
Hi IceTae, Multiple, undefined eyelid creases can be made into a stable, deep, and defined eyelid crease with double eyelid surgery, as detailed in the video. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi Sonam Pema, Sorry to hear that, but it can likely be addressed with surgery to create a more defined eyelid crease, as shown in the video. I hope this helps you.
Hi cleo elian, An eyelid crease is created by the connection between the eyelid skin and the muscle called the levator muscle that lifts the eyelid. If you have a weak or no connection, then there is no crease, or a weak crease, as shown in the video. Only surgery can make a connection between the skin and muscle if there is no natural connection, and sleeping more will not create this connection. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hello doctor In my family everybody has monolid eyelid but my eyes r different i have doubke eyelid but not both left eye deeper eyelid n right eye small double eyelid, how can i fix it n make them same
Hi happiness s, I describe that exact situation in this video you are commenting on. You can watch the video more closely to see how a more defined and stable double eyelid can be achieved through surgery. I hope this helps you.
Hi queen girl, It needs to be determined if anything needs "fixing" as it is normal for double eyelids to fade at the inner corners, so an examination is needed to answer your question. I hope this helps you.
Hi GarthS, If it is, I wouldn't perform it too much because the weakening of the connection between the skin and the muscle can make the monolids stay that way. I hope this helps you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD If I flex my eyelids down and then open them really wide, I can create double eyelids and they'll stay that way for a bit, even through several rounds of blinking. I always thought that if I had the patience to maybe consistently do this a few times a day, I could eventually train my eyelids to just stay like that....but you're saying it's the opposite? I'd be strengthening the levator muscle though, wouldn't I? One of my friends said her cousin dragged a needle across her monolid to create a double eyelid, and it worked, but that seems like a Really Bad Idea 😬
Hi@@qwertyuiopqwertywert, A natural and defined double eyelid is due to the strength of the connection between the eyelid skin and the levator muscle, not the strength of the levator muscle. I hope this clarifies things for you.
doctor amiya prasad may I ask u a question? if we want double eyelid on each eye is there any like exercise that can make one of ur eye double eyelid and also as a person who have pcos like is there anyways to reduce body hair permanently like natural and safely. pls reply as soon as possible :)
Hi Xinxin Peaches, The eyelid crease is created by a connection between the eyelid skin, and the muscle that lifts the eyelid called the levator muscle. If this connection is not present naturally, such as in the case of people with monolids, then double eyelid surgery is the only way to create this connection to form an eyelid crease. Body hair can be treated with laser treatments, which are meant to destroy the hair follicle, but they can be resistant and grow hair again. Laser hair removal usually does last for a long period, but there is no guarantee that laser treatment can remove body hair permanently. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi Anonymous Hii, Sorry to hear about your problem. If you would like to create a double eyelid on the other eye, it can likely be done with surgery. I hope this helps you.
Hi Hola, I recently published a video about why creating a double eyelid crease can't be done without surgery, for your reference - th-cam.com/video/CEj1SwUAlns/w-d-xo.html
@@AmiyaPrasadMD so I use to have both eyelids and then I think i rubbed my eye a lot on one and now that eyelid is not there and now one has a eyelid and the other doesn’t and one eye is bigger then the other eye
Hi@@Hola-ng4vs, It is possible that constant eye rubbing caused a loosened connection between the eyelid skin, and the muscle that lifts the eyelid called the levator. This skin-to-muscle connection creates a natural eyelid crease. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Help Dr Amiya Prasad i had a very big eyelids before but after using eyelids taps my eyelids had been disappear and i lost it now i had a small eyelids....can u plz help me out without a surgery i would be very grateful
Hi P me too Hangshing, Sorry to hear that, but surgery is the only way to create a connection between the eyelid skin and eyelid muscle that makes the eyelid crease. The only non-surgical way to do this is temporary, which you have already done with tape. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi@@pmetoohangshing3714, Sorry, but I don't understand. If you were happy with your eyelids before, why did you need tape to begin with? I can't determine the cause of your condition, or your exact issue, unless I actually examine your eyelids. I hope this helps you.

I’ve had double eyelids my whole life but I woke up this morning and they’re gone 😭😭
Hi@@soonyun3862,
Sorry to hear that, but there are instances where the eyelids are temporarily affected by swelling. If this issue persists, you can consider surgery to reestablish the connection between your eyelid skin and eyelid muscle called the levator muscle to restore a double eyelid crease. I hope this helps you.
I know it's sad I used to suffer a lot having different eyelids but now I have made my eyelids both the same naturally and permanently. Now I am very happy 😊
That's good to hear, Sanchitra Thokchom
By surgery or naturally??

Hi@@flowermoney222,
Sorry to hear about your problem. The causes of multiple creases is explained at 2:38 of the video, and it can be surgically corrected. I did make an older video about treating multiple creases to be become a stable crease - th-cam.com/video/Bp5M19lCDmw/w-d-xo.html
I'm an Asian and on some days I have a deep double eyelid on my left eye, some days on my right. Both my eyes are either monolids or triple eyelids most of the time though. And sometimes, very very rarely, both of my eyes both have double eyelids. When I was a child, up until around 11-12 years old, I had permanent double eyelids on both eyes but now it's super inconsistent. I've been curious as to why this happens. Is it because of sleeping habits, hydration level, etc? Having inconsistent eyelids is really annoying as it makes me self conscious especially when my eyes are monolids. Also looks like I got punched in one eye in pics as it looks really unsymmetrical.
Hi catbloom,
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. You can watch the video more closely for details. I hope this clarifies things for you.

When I wake up I have it and it usually takes up to a week to get double eyelid back :c
thank you for the reassurance that it will come back 🙏 i woke up with a triple eyelid today and am praying for it to go back to double as soon as possible
Hi@@alexeyvishnyakov8132,
As detailed in the video, multiple creases, or multiple intermittent creases are likely due to a weak connection between the eyelid skin, and the muscle that lifts the upper eyelid. This connection can be strengthened with surgery for a stable crease/ stable double eyelid fold. I hope this clarifies things for you.
How to explain me being mono eyelid for 30 years, and about one month ago, one of my eyes started showing crease, now it's very stable, the other one is now gradually becoming double eyelids as well...i did not undergo any kind of plastic surgery...Both of my parents have beautiful and very defined double eyelids.
Hi Nyssa Tang,
It may be due to stretched or redundant eyelid. In people with an eyelid crease all their life, stretched skin due to aging may look like hooded skin over the eyes, but it is possible for some with a monolid with same condition to look like a new crease. A physical examination is needed to determine the exact cause. I hope this clarifies things for you.
My left eye have one eyelid and my right eye have double eyelid and I want it to be even gosh its so annoying when I want to take picture of myself , and then my eyes one look small and other look big.😑
Hi Cloudy zero447,
Sorry to hear about your problem. It is normal for monolid eyelids to look smaller than double eyelids, which makes double eyelid surgery such a popular procedure so the eyes can appear bigger. I hope this clarifies things for you.
I’m middle eastern and I am the only person in my family with double eyelids

I used to hav very prominent double eyelids but lately I haven’t been sleeping well and now they’re not as clear
Hi Vivian Huang,
Sorry to hear about your problem. I suggest you take a look at your eyelids when you are most alert to see if this problem persists. If your creases are still not prominent when you are most alert, then your eyelids can be examined more closely by an experienced eyelid cosmetic surgeon. I hope this helps you.
I went on a trip one day and because of that I had to wake up early and didn't have enough sleep,and my other eye turned into a monolid. Now it looks uneven 😭😭 and when I take a picture or a selfie it looks ewwwww
Hi Jian Asher,
Sorry to hear about your problem, but waking up early one day is not going to cause you to have a monolid from a previous double eyelid. You may have had a weak connection between the eyelid skin and muscle previously, which became more apparent at a certain time. You can refer to the video to see how this is treated in adults whose faces have already stopped the growth and maturation phase. I hope this helps you.
Oop I actually don't know if my eyes were like that already before I went on a trip becauseI don't look in the mirror too often but what do I do? Im too young to have surgery D:

Hi sasaki.,
Sorry to hear about your problem. It may be an issue with the strength of the fibrous connection between the muscle that lifts the eyelid, and the eyelid skin. A physical examination is needed to diagnose the exact cause. This connection between the muscle and the skin, which is where the eyelid crease forms, can be strengthened or attached with surgery. I hope this clarifies things for you.

I have double eyelid in one eye from my childhood... Do i need surgery ?
Hi Rosella Gomez,
Unless your eyelid droops and affects your vision, cosmetic eyelid surgery is a personal preference rather than an absolute necessity. Surgery can be done to make both eyelids double eyelids, if that's your preference. I hope this helps you.

My left eye has double eyelid, but my right eye has monolid, but i could change it into double eyelid temporarily, when i stretched it out, it went to monolid back again, is it normal?
Hi Kyuraz K,
I suggest you don't stretch out your eyelid skin as it is very thin and delicate at 0.5mm thick, and you don't want to suffer from premature skin laxity. I hope this helps you.
I also does it many times
Hello Dr. Prasad! Your videos are extremely informative and I appreciate the special attention you pay to Asian eyes. I am curious about what is or is/not considered a double eyelid. I'm Korean and my eyes are somewhat similar to the patient shown at 4:27 , who appeared to have asymmetrical eyes in the "before" photo. His left eye in the "before" seems to have a "hint" of a double eyelid, while his right eye appears to be a typical monolid. Would you consider his left eye to be a true double eyelid? Also, for this type of asymmetry, would it be possible to "fix" the right eye to match the left eye (rather than doing both eyes like the patient shown)? Also, for an older patient like me (51), would it make sense to perform some kind of procedure to preemptively address sagging (i.e., ptosis) of the upper eyelid skin in addition to addressing the epicanthal fold issue? I have no sagging issues currently; however, both of my parents have extreme ptosis, so I know it is inevitable. Thanks!
Hi hejiranyc,
I would consider his left eye before as a shallow, undefined eyelid crease, so surgery is still needed to make it a deep, and defined double eyelid. Double eyelid surgery creates defined creases, and not shallow creases like his left eyelid before surgery, so what you suggest to match a shallow crease isn't likely possible.
There is a difference in eyelid ptosis, which is a weakened or detached levator muscle; and dermatochalasis, which is eyelid hooding or sagging due to stretched or redundant skin. Both these issues cannot be treated in advance as a preventive measure as this would risk eyelid function in opening and closing the eyes. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Who else is here because they randomly woke up with a monolid this morning?
Hi julia,
An intermittent eyelid crease may be 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 crease is with double eyelid surgery.
omg the extra eyelid crease I got months ago still hadn't got away, I cried the night before I slept and boom it never got back to normal until now 😭
Hi kae san,
Sorry to hear about your problem. As explained in the video, it could be due to a weakened or weak connection between the eyelid skin, and the muscle that lifts the eyelid called the levator muscle. It can be examined for possible treatment to strengthen the connection, and stabilize the crease. If you can't see us for a diagnosis, I suggest you see a local doctor for an examination. I hope this helps you.
Plz tell me how to make it go back to normal 🥺
Hi@@notoriousnugs6642,
The video shows how multiple, undefined creases can be made into stable, defined eyelid crease with surgery. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD is there a method without surgery?
Hi@@Beelover9000,
Some people use tape or adhesive to temporarily create a crease, but I don't recommend this because it can irritate very delicate eyelid skin, and removal of tape or glue can do damage to the muscle that lifts the eyelid, and that would be a more costly surgery to correct (ptosis correction surgery) than double eyelid surgery. I hope this clarifies things for you.

Idk why people say they dont like monolids- theyre honestly gorgeous
Hi @sadiemaxfield7566,
One of the main reasons why people have double eyelid surgery is that it makes the eyes appear bigger, and more open, so it's not only about creating a crease/ double eyelid fold. It is completely understandable that you like the appearance of monolids. It's also important to keep in mind that people without an eyelid crease want to have them first to make themselves happy, not others. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hey.... Actually I have triple eyelid and I want mono lid how ?
My monolids look fat, there is a thin crease but it isn’t very deep, it’s just a think line that doesn’t fold it.
Hi Grace Z.,
It is possible that fat does prevent a more defined eyelid crease, which is why fat is also removed in double eyelid surgery in addition to possibly skin, and for creating a connection between the eyelid skin and muscle to create the crease. I hope this clarifies things for you.

Hi Klex,
You likely had a weak connection on your previous double eyelid. Surgery is the only way to make a connection between your eyelid skin and eyelid muscle to create a crease/double eyelid fold. You can consider eyelid tape/glue, but these only make a temporary fold in your eyelid skin. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Amiya Prasad, M.D. will the tape or glue trains the eyelid to be back normal?
Hi@@LuminousAW,
No, they just temporarily create a crease when they are applied. Tape or glue cannot create lasting internal connection between the muscle and the skin, which can only be done with surgery. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Im Asian am i only have one double eyelid but it only appeared 2 years ago and till now its still here. Sometimes i wake up with single eyelid but it normally only lastes for a day. This is my most insecure thing ever:(
Hi Zhi Yu Tam,
Sorry to hear that, but it's probably due to weak connection between the eyelid skin and the levator muscle that lifts the eyelid. The connection may be made stronger on both eyelids for a stable crease, if that's what you would like. I hope this clarifies things for you.

Hi icnayana diaz,
Sorry to hear about your problem. Your condition is likely not due to ethnicity as Asians with monolids have them since birth. You may have loosed the connection between your eyelid skin and eyelid muscle called the levator muscle, resulting in the monolid. A physical examination is required to diagnose your condition definitively. I hope this helps you.

Hi Mack,
Sorry to hear about your problem. An intermittent or lost eyelid crease may be 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 crease is with double eyelid surgery, as shown in the video. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi I have a question! If one frequently uses double eyelid tapes (tape you put on to create a strong defined eyelid crease) would the levator muscle get used to the fold and eventually make a connection with the folded skin the double eyelid tape makes and turn into a strong/somewhat of a double eyelid?
Hi Bob,
The natural connection between the levator muscle and the eyelid skin is made with fibers, which will not establish from using eyelid tape. This fibrous connection is replaced by sutures in double eyelid surgery, which then heals over after the sutures are removed to create a stable eyelid crease.
Pulling eyelid tape repeatedly can actually damage or stretch the thin levator muscle over time, leading to eyelid ptosis. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD Hi doctor, I was wondering, if you eat the fibrous food, or stay hydrated, will your double eyelids stay consistent? I also have days where I have double eyelids and some days where I don’t. But most times its only one eye changes at a time rather than both but it makes me look asymmetrical.
Hi@@sonamdema543,
As detailed in the video, an unstable eyelid crease is due to a weak connection between the eyelid skin, and the muscle that lifts the eyelid. Your diet will not change the strength of that fibrous connection, but the connection can be strengthened and reinforced in double eyelid surgery using sutures. I hope this clarifies things for you.
I'm indonesian and my friends and my family have double eyelid 😅😅
Hi sir , please suggest me some blood tests to check why I am losing my hair's . Please sir reply me
Hi Shravan p.v,
Blood tests don't determine if you have male pattern hair loss because all men have DHT in their bloodstream, but not all men have genetic scalp sensitivity to DHT. I hope this clarifies things for you.
hi! i was born naturally with both my eyes faint folded but my left eye a little more "double eyed" and the right one less double eyed with a very slightly faint crease. these past months i have been using double eyelid tape to try to even out my eyes to make them appear more double eyed and more symmetric. it usually stays under the day but then sometimes it disappears and returns monolid. but when it stays and then i go to sleep both my eyes become completely monolids when i wake up and i wonder what really causes this and what i can do to prevent it?
Hi angelica,
A double eyelid is the result of a natural connection between the eyelid skin, and the muscle that lifts the eyelid called the levator muscle. Constant manipulation of the eyelid skin with tape or glue can weaken this natural connection, which may result in a monolid. An examination is needed to determine if the connection has been weakened, resulting in a monolid. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Can anyone tell me what causes this and how to stabilize it because I've had this problem for years now
Hi Voltz,
As explained in the video, the likely cause is a weak connection between the eyelid skin and the muscle that lifts the eyelid called the levator, and how the connection can be strengthened with surgery for a stable eyelid crease. I hope this clarifies things for you.
one eye is super hooded and is a double eyelid and the other is a triple eyelid 😭
Hi Amy,
Sorry to hear that, but both these issues can be treated, but an examination is needed before determining specific procedures. I hope this helps you.
i have two creases, one is mono and another is double but the mono is way more prominent and my double eyelid keeps falling
Hi val,
Sorry to hear about your problems. This can likely be surgically corrected for stable double eyelids on both sides by strengthening the connection between the eyelid skin, and the eyelid muscle, if you wish. I hope this clarifies things for you.
I just woke up with a monolid and I don't know how to fix it, so now I have a doublelid and a monolid😔✊
Hi,
Sorry to hear about your problem. As detailed in the video, an intermittent eyelid crease is most likely due to a weak connection between the eyelid skin, and the muscle that lifts the eyelid. This connection can be strengthened with surgery for a stable double eyelid. I generally recommend eyelid surgery at the minimum age of the early 20s when faces have stopped growing, and maturing. I hope this clarifies things for you.
hi! is it possible to get lower eyelids instead of high?
Hi loren,
That that would compromise the function of your upper eyelids, and likely your vision. I hope you understand.
what causes uneven eyelids?
Hi @cornsoup3213,
It depends on the meaning of "uneven". Uneven height between the two eyelids is caused by bone structure, as both halves of your skull or formed separately, so there is a natural asymmetry between most people of 1-2mm that is unnoticeable to others because it's so common. Uneven eyelid creases described in the video is caused by the strength of the fibrous connection between the upper eyelid skin, and the muscle that lifts the eyelid called the levator muscle. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hello, I am Korean, and I have protruding round eyes where the upper lids are now exhibiting multiple creases. I also have no fat around the eyelids which seems to emphasize the protruding appearance. From the profile you can see the outline of my eyeball sticking forward. I am wondering if a blepharoplasty is the right choice or will it make my round eyes appear too round and startled. I am trying to reduce the multiple creases if possible as I get older.
Hi Jeannie Lee-Mirzayan,
It's unclear if your eye protrusion is something that you've always had, or something that developed recently. That is something that I would need to know before recommending a treatment for multiple eyelid creases. I hope this helps you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD I used to have monolids as a child/teen and fatty lids. Now that I am 50, the fat above the lids is gone which is highlighting the protrusion.
Hi@@JeannieLeeMirzayan,
I would have to examine your eyelids and eyes before making a specific recommendation. The cause of your protrusion is still unclear, but it it's not a separate issue, creating a stable crease is pretty straightforward. I hope this helps you.
Hi doctor why does all Asian double eyelids surgery makes no much difference. Is it possible in Asians to create higher crease.
Hi Tenzin Palyon,
Most people who've had double eyelid surgery would disagree with you as it has made a huge difference for them.
Your anatomy, including your unique bone structure, determines where your eyelid creases would be if they were created naturally. You can refer to this video about it, as well as why there are limits in changing eyelid shape/placement:

I’m Chinese when I was young I had monolids but when I was around 7 one of my eyes became a double eyelid but my other eye is a weak double eyelid
Hi Louise陸嘉美,
The strength of the eyelid skin-to-muscle connection would need to be examined if you want a stable, more defined double eyelid through surgery. I hope this clarifies things for you.

Hi Kristina Gurung,
About half of people of Asian descent don't have an eyelid crease, so you're definitely not alone, but it can be created with surgery. Please let us know if you'd like us to help you with it.
I have one eye double eyelid and another is the "smaller" double eyelid and as a kid I was use to said that I have different type of eyes to my mom (but my childhood I have both looks like monolid and now I'm confused)
Hi,
It is possible for one of your eyelids to have a weaker skin-to-muscle connection that causes a less defined crease, as detailed in the video. Without examining your eyelids, I can't make a more detailed assessment of the issue you may be having. I hope this helps you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD ooooh Thanks for explaining. I understand more from now on ☺️
You're welcome!
I’m literally crying rn I suddenly have monolid when I woke up and it hast gotten away 😢
Sorry to hear about your problem, @alexander-3187. The issue is likely caused by weak fibrous connection between your upper eyelid muscle, and the skin, as explained in the video. This can be corrected by surgery when you're an adult, if you're still not of age. I hope this reassures you.

I don't have double eyelids period! Don't really care, but was curious why some people had them and some people didn't. Both my parents have double eyelids.
Hi Jason Lee,
About half of people of Asian descent do not have the connection, or a strong connection, between the eyelid skin and the levator muscle to form an eyelid crease. However, people without an eyelid crease still have the anatomical structures to allow for a naturally appearing crease if the connection is made or strengthened with surgery. I hope this clarifies things for you.

Hi KDS Sharma,
Sorry to hear about your problem, but I would need to physically examine your eyelid to diagnose the issue first, then recommend a treatment. If it appears like the examples in this video, it could be eyelid ptosis - th-cam.com/video/7gWSjQce3DQ/w-d-xo.html
HELP ME DOCTOR!! My eyelid used to be a double eyelid. Then one day only ONE of my eyelid turned into a saggy lid (NO CREASE AT ALL!!) it makes half of my face look mad and uneven. How do I get the double eyelid back without surgery? I had dry eyes and clogged oil glands does that have anything to do with it?
Hi Asmr,
Sorry to hear about your problem. The eyelid crease is a result of internal fibrous connection between the eyelid skin, and the muscle that lifts the eyelid called the levator muscle, so the only way to replicate that natural connection is with surgery. A crease that disappeared is likely due to a natural connection that wasn't so strong. Dry eyes, and clogged oil glands aren't directly associated with the connection between the eyelid skin and muscle. I hope this clarifies things for you.
My eyelids was perfectly fine last night but when I woke up the other lid became smaller?! What the hell 😭
Hi SOMMUNGCHIS BLINK IF YOU'RE A TEAUME,

i have monolid eyes but one morning my left eye suddenly became double lids, it has been bothering me. how do i put my left monolid eye back
Hi candy crush,
If you have a natural monolid, it should return. You have a monolid because there is no connection, or a weak connection between your eyelid skin and the muscle that lifts the eyelid. A connection will not form on its own to create a stable double eyelid, so your monolid should return. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi!!! First and foremost THANK U for the informational video! But lately I’m really worried... I was with even double eyelids but since December my right eye look bigger and became monolid!

Hi chad m,
Sorry to hear that. If your doctor examined your eyes, and I have not, it's not my place to disagree with your doctor, unless I also examine your eyes to give a proper second opinion. An examination is needed for me to give you my diagnosis. I hope this helps you.
Amiya Prasad, M.D. thank u so much for responding dr! 😄 but just wondering if other than TED could other things caused it? My eye is not buldging out or anything
Hi@@chadm4885,
I'm a little confused by you saying your eyes look bigger, but not bulging. There may be cause of swelling like a bug bite, but I can't confirm this without examining your eyes. I hope this helps you.
Amiya Prasad, M.D. I wish you were from my state or close I’d love to get a consultation... but yes it is bigger but not bulging, it’s like the eyelid elevated and and now becomes a monolid and exposes by whole pupil like the circle.
Hi@@chadm4885,
I would have to examine it before making a recommendation, but perhaps you can have it examined by a local surgeon. I hope this helps you.
i was born with monolids suddenly one eye turned into a double eyelid and now i have monolids again😭 how can i correct this and get double eyelids in both eyes ??
Hi RUICAN HUANG,
The only way to get stable double eyelids is to strengthen the connection between the eyelid skin, and the muscle that lifts the eyelid called the levator. Strengthening or establishing this connection can only be done with surgery, as shown in the video. I hope this clarifies things for you.

Hi MARIE -kitkat,
It is possible that one eyelid has a weaker skin-muscle connection than the other, which can be inborn, or due to injury you didn't notice. Surgery can strengthen this connection for a stable double eyelid, as shown in the video. I hope this helps you.

Hi selín,
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. You can watch the video more closely to learn more about it. I hope this helps you.
i also have the same problem. i want it to go back to being just double eyelid and not triple. but all i heard from the video is how they make a monolid have a double eyelid, nothing about a triple eyelid getting back to just double eyelid.😭
Hi@@mmgst,
As stated in the title, and in the video, some people can have multiple, undefined eyelid creases because of a weak eyelid skin-to-muscle connection. A stable eyelid crease/double eyelid can be created with double eyelid surgery for this condition. I hope this clarifies things for you.
PLEASE REPLY I’ve talked to over 10 plastic surgeons in taiwan and they refuse to perform double eyelid surgery on one eye because i have a double lid and mono lid is it required to perform it on both eyes? because i really do not want to change my existing double lid
Hi @exohamster2658,
While it is possible to perform double eyelid surgery on only one eyelid, your natural double eyelid needs to be examined for stability, depth, strength of connection, symmetry, and how it would appear with your surgically altered eyelid. I would have to perform a physical examination of both your eyelids before I can give you a definitive answer. I hope you understand.
My brother has one mono eyelid and one double eyelid whereas I have weird mixed double eyelids (weird in the sense that they don't really look double like crease is less)
Hi luminte,
You may have a less defined, or shallower crease due to a not so strong connection between eyelid skin, and the levator muscle that lifts the eyelid. Double eyelid surgery can make a shallow crease deeper and more defined, and can also make monolid a double eyelid. I hope this clarifies things for you.
one of my eye is double eyelid and it clearly shows the creases and my other eye is also double eyelid but it looks swollen and does not show any crease.Now one of my eyes is bigger and the other is smaller :(
Hi,
Sorry to hear that. A defined eyelid crease does make the eyes appear bigger, and there is also natural asymmetry between the two eyes, so what you are seeing is not unusual. You can have this examined in consultation to see what your options are for treatment. I hope this helps you.
Me before i don't have monolid or eyelid i remember one night i cried and cried and cried when i wake up in the morning just like i cant open my eyes just like my eyes are swelling the next day i got shock when i saw in the mirror i have monolid but its not clear and as times goes on my monolids comes out more and more just like i have under surgery but not its natural and i love6 it 😊😊 i have an upper eyelid too

The video is quite informative.I have a double eyelid on one eye that is perfectly normal but the other is monolid from the inner corner but at the outer edge my eye has a double lid.I think its due to thickness of my skin,where i have a monolid there's an extra crease.The area where i live i dont know any specialist surgeon in this regard.thats y i want to get this problem done by natural ways.

Hi Areesha khan,
Sorry, but a connection between the eyelid muscle and skin to create a crease can only be done with surgery, or if you were born with a stable connection made by fibers between the skin and muscle.

One eye of mine is double lid and it looks nice, but the other one have 4 folds and it looks absolutely disguting. I'm only 15, can i change it back to my normal double eyelid with eye massage? Both of my eye was a double eyelid before..
Hi JaiChan,
Please do not massage your eyelids as it won't accomplish what you want, and it can make things worse. Eyelid skin is the thinnest skin in the body, so it's very delicate, and you can loosen the muscle connection that establishes the crease to make it worse.
You can consider strengthening the connection between the eyelid skin, and muscle to form a stable crease when you are a little older, but I usually don't recommend eyelid surgery for someone your age who is still growing and maturing. I hope this helps you.
I have one single eyelid & one double eyelid ( i hate it 😩 ) .. is there a way like an exercise to fix my one single eyelid instead of doing surgery ??

Can this be cause by too much screens or lack of sleep?
Hi Maya L,
No, this is caused by a weakened connection between the eyelid skin, and the muscle that lifts the eyelid. Too much screen time can strain your eyes, while a lack of sleep can cause temporary dark circles or puffiness in the eyes, temporary droopiness, but won't affect eyelid crease definition. I hope this clarifies things for you.

Hi Watch Out,
I have my eyelid surgery patients use cold compresses for 20 minutes on, 20 minutes off for the first two days after surgery. While limited cold compress use should not damage your eyelids, it's not clear why you want to use it, so it's not something I can recommend without a reason. I hope this helps you.

Hi Xinxin Peaches,
The eyelid crease is created by a connection between the eyelid skin, and the muscle that lifts the eyelid called the levator muscle. If this connection is not present naturally, such as in the case of people with monolids, then double eyelid surgery is the only way to create this connection to form an eyelid crease.
