My fold is too low after Asian Eyelid Surgery and would like it higher? CAn this be done? My previous surgeon said that there is not enough skin to do that a discussion by Dr. Philip Young: Yes you can increase the height of the crease after Asian Eyelid Crease Surgery. It will entail setting the crease higher with a higher incision. The drawback in this situation is that you may have two incisions that could be exposed if you don’t have enough skin. It is likely that your crease is high enough and that all you need is more skin taken out. This is much simpler to do. The options are there for you. I think non incision techniques that the others are advocating is harder to achieve symmetry and long lasting results and you may need to get more surgery in the future to correct that approach. Below is a picture from our Asian Double Eyelid Procedure Webpage that discusses more details on this procedure.
