Well-defined double eyelids always lend the face a radiant, vibrant look. Conversely, having multiple eyelid folds—or overlapping creases—can inadvertently make the eyes appear dull, tired, and prematurely aged. In this article, Dr. Xuan Quan Clinic identifies the root causes of this issue and suggests effective solutions to restore balanced, youthful-looking double eyelids.
Causes of multiple eyelid folds
Multi-creased eyelids (also known as “multi-fold eyes”) refer to a condition where the skin of the eyelid exhibits three or more overlapping or intersecting folds. This phenomenon obscures the primary eyelid crease, giving the eyes a tired, lifeless appearance and making the face look older than it actually is.
According to Dr. Nguyen Xuan Quan, this condition arises from the following core causes:
- Natural aging: This is the most common cause. Over time, the skin around the eyes suffers a significant loss of collagen and elastin, leading to sagging skin, fat accumulation, and the formation of multiple, overlapping eyelid folds.
- Congenital or genetic factors: Some individuals are born with weak levator palpebrae muscles or loose connections between the eyelid skin and the muscle, resulting in unevenly distributed eyelid folds.
- Unhealthy lifestyle habits: Frequent late nights, prolonged work-related stress, or the habit of rubbing the eyes vigorously can cause the delicate skin around the eyes to sag prematurely.
- Overuse of eyelid-enhancing tools: Frequent use of eyelid tapes or glues inadvertently subjects the skin to constant stretching, causing it to lose elasticity and become loose or flabby early on.
- Botched cosmetic surgery: Previous eyelid procedures (such as suture blepharoplasty or incisional surgery) performed at substandard facilities—involving improper dissection techniques or flawed management of excess skin—can result in deep, unsightly, or irregular creases.
Effective ways to correct multiple eyelid folds today
To completely eliminate overlapping eyelid creases and restore a sharp, defined double-eyelid look, relying on eye creams or standard makeup techniques fails to provide long-lasting results.
Today, thanks to advancements in cosmetic technology, there are two methods to definitively address this issue, depending on the severity of the condition in each individual case:
Cosmetic double eyelid suture technique
Target audience: Suitable for young people with multiple congenital eyelid creases or creases caused by lifestyle habits, but without sagging skin or excess fat.
Procedure: The doctor threads specialized sutures through fixed anchor points to create a connection between the eyelid skin and the levator muscle (or tarsal plate), forming a single, well-defined crease without the need for surgery or incisions.
Advantages: Non-surgical, painless, minimal swelling or bruising, rapid recovery (only 3–5 days), and a natural, even crease.
Disadvantages: Cannot address sagging skin or excess fat; the crease may fade over time.
Duration: Typically 3–5 years (may last longer depending on individual physiology and the specific suturing technique).
High-tech eyelid surgery method
Target candidates: An optimal solution for eyes with multiple aging-related folds, sagging skin, thick deposits of excess fat, or eyes previously damaged by surgery at substandard facilities.
Procedure: The surgeon makes an ultra-fine incision along the eyelid margin, eliminates accessory folds, and thoroughly removes excess skin and fat pockets; aesthetic sutures are then used to create a sharp, symmetrical new eyelid crease.
Advantages: Completely removes sagging skin and excess fat; permanently eliminates accessory folds; corrects previously botched surgeries while creating a deep, well-defined crease.
Disadvantages: Being a surgical procedure, the recovery time is longer than that of non-incisional methods (requiring 7–10 days for suture removal and initial settling).
Durability: Long-lasting results (potentially lifelong with proper care and a constitution resistant to rapid aging).
