Loss of the eyelid fold or asymmetry following upper eyelid surgery often reflects structural instability within the eyelid, rather than a simple difference in crease height.
Common causes include inadequate initial fixation, tissue damage from prior surgery, uneven scarring, or differential levator muscle response between the two eyelids.
In some cases, partial fold loss and double crease deformity may coexist, further complicating eyelid contour and symmetry.
Rather than recreating a visible crease alone, Dr. Ahn focuses on restoring anatomical stability at the correct structural level.
This involves precise reattachment of the eyelid fold to appropriate anatomical structures while carefully balancing eyelid tension and movement on both sides.
Each case is evaluated through detailed structural and functional analysis, allowing correction of asymmetry that remains consistent not only in photographs, but also during natural eye opening, closing, blinking, and facial expression.
