Eyelid with multiple creases

Problem: The patient has multiple creases on her eyelids. The patient expresses difficulty in applying make-up due to the creases.

Process: Excess skin needs to be removed in order to resolve this issue. Since she is still relatively young, it is not necessary to remove fat. The levator technique is sufficient for creating new eyelids.

Operative technique

• Step1: The incision lines for eyelid surgery are drawn. 
• Step2: A minimal amount of fat is removed from the upper eyelid.
• Step3: A repositioning of the fat is necessary in order to achieve balance.
• Step4: The levator fixation procedure is completed.

Final outcome: Several creases are now eliminated, and she has now achieved balance and symmetry in her double eyelids.
