At Wave Plastic Surgery, we specialize in customizing eyelid procedures to fit each patient’s unique facial structure and personal goals, ensuring results that are both beautiful and natural.

Understanding Different Types of Eyelid Creases

Tapered Eyelid Crease

A tapered eyelid crease narrows as it approaches the inner corner of the eye. This subtle, natural-looking fold is popular among individuals seeking a softer, more delicate appearance. It’s commonly requested in Asian blepharoplasty for its ability to maintain ethnic authenticity while enhancing eye shape.

Parallel Eyelid Crease

A parallel eyelid crease runs evenly across the eyelid, maintaining a consistent distance from the lash line. This type of crease offers a more defined and dramatic look, often preferred in double eyelid surgeries. It’s particularly popular among those wanting a bolder, more prominent eye shape.

Double Eyelids

Double eyelids refer to the presence of a visible crease that creates the illusion of larger, more open eyes. This feature holds cultural significance, especially in East Asian countries, where double eyelid surgery is a common cosmetic procedure. At Wave Plastic Surgery, we offer various techniques to create or enhance double eyelids while ensuring natural, harmonious results.

Hooded Eyes

Hooded eyes occur when excess skin folds over the crease, making the eyelids less visible. This can give the eyes a tired or smaller appearance. Eyelid surgery can lift and redefine the crease, improving both the aesthetic and, in some cases, vision. In fact, many patients seek this procedure not just for cosmetic reasons but also to address functional issues like vision obstruction.

How to Choose the Right Eyelid Crease for You

Selecting the perfect eyelid crease depends on several factors:

  • Facial Structure and Anatomy: The shape of your eyes, brow position, and skin elasticity all play a role in determining the best crease for you.
  • Ethnic Considerations: Different ethnicities have unique anatomical features, which influence the type of crease that looks most natural. For instance, East Asian eyelid structures often benefit from tailored approaches that respect cultural aesthetics while enhancing the natural eye shape.
  • Personal Preferences: Are you aiming for a subtle change or a dramatic transformation? Your goals guide the process.

At Wave Plastic Surgery, our expert surgeons will walk you through a personalized consultation, ensuring your eyelid crease surgery aligns perfectly with your vision.

Eyelid Crease Surgery (Blepharoplasty) at Wave Plastic Surgery

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that modifies the eyelid crease, removes excess skin, and enhances overall eye appearance. At Wave Plastic Surgery, we use advanced techniques to deliver results that look natural and complement your unique features.

What to Expect:

  • Consultation: We start with a detailed evaluation of your eye structure and discuss your aesthetic goals.
  • Surgery: Our surgeons employ precise techniques to create or enhance your eyelid crease.
  • Recovery: Most patients experience minimal discomfort and see significant improvement within a week.

 

Recent advancements in surgical techniques have made eyelid surgeries more efficient and less invasive, leading to shorter recovery times and minimal scarring. At Wave Plastic Surgery, we stay at the forefront of these innovations to provide you with the best possible outcomes.

Recovery Process & Expected Results

After your eyelid surgery, it’s important to follow post-operative care guidelines for optimal healing:

  • Initial Recovery: Swelling and bruising are common but typically subside within 1-2 weeks.
  • Final Results: Your new eyelid crease will become fully visible as swelling decreases, usually within a month.
  • Longevity: Results are long-lasting, and with proper care, they can maintain their appearance for years.

 

Many patients report high satisfaction rates after eyelid surgery, citing both the subtlety of the enhancements and the confidence boost that comes from a refreshed appearance.
