High Eyelid Crease After Surgery in Korea | Revision Double Eyelid Surgery at ETONNE Plastic Surgery
A high eyelid crease after double eyelid surgery can make the eyes appear unnatural, hollow, or constantly surprised. At ETONNE Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, Seoul, revision eyelid surgery is individually customized to lower an excessively high crease, soften scar adhesions, restore upper eyelid volume when needed, and create a balanced, natural-looking eyelid. Revision surgery requires advanced planning because of scar tissue and previous surgical changes.
High Eyelid Crease Revision Surgery
A double eyelid crease positioned too high is one of the most common reasons patients seek revision eyelid surgery. A high fold may expose too much of the upper eyelid, create an unnatural appearance, or cause eyelid tightness during blinking.
In many cases, the crease is accompanied by hollow upper eyelids, multiple folds, or excessive scar adhesion that requires anatomical reconstruction rather than simply lowering the fold.
Common concerns include:
- High double eyelid crease
- Hollow upper eyelids
- Deep eyelid fold
- Unnatural eye appearance
- Multiple eyelid folds
- Tight eyelids
- Visible scar indentation
- Eyelid asymmetry
- Difficulty closing the eyes
- Persistent dissatisfaction after blepharoplasty
Why Does a High Eyelid Crease Develop?
A high crease may occur because of:
- Crease designed too high
- Excessive scar adhesion
- Strong fixation during surgery
- Excess skin or fat removal
- Previous revision surgery
- Healing variations
- Overcorrection during blepharoplasty
Careful evaluation determines whether revision should include crease lowering, scar release, volume restoration, or ptosis correction.
ETONNE Revision Approach
Every patient receives a personalized consultation before surgery.
Comprehensive Evaluation
- Previous surgical history
- Existing crease height
- Scar tissue
- Eyelid muscle function
- Skin quality
- Upper eyelid volume
- Eye symmetry
- Eyelid closure
Customized Revision Surgery
Depending on the cause, surgery may include:
- Lowering the eyelid crease
- Scar tissue release
- Adhesion removal
- Crease reconstruction
- Fat repositioning
- Micro-fat grafting
- Ptosis correction if indicated
- Scar refinement
The goal is to restore a softer, more natural eyelid crease while maintaining comfortable blinking and long-term stability.
Recovery
Typical recovery includes:
- Week 1: Swelling and bruising
- Weeks 2–4: Reduced tightness
- Months 2–3: Improved eyelid contour
- Months 6–12: Final scar maturation
Revision eyelid surgery usually heals more slowly than primary surgery because previously operated tissues require additional recovery time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my eyelid crease too high after surgery?
A high crease may result from excessive fixation, a crease designed too high, scar tissue contraction, or removal of too much upper eyelid tissue.
Can a high eyelid crease be lowered?
Yes. Many patients achieve a lower, softer, and more natural-looking eyelid crease through personalized revision surgery.
Why do my eyes look hollow after surgery?
A hollow appearance often occurs when too much upper eyelid fat or soft tissue has been removed during the original surgery.
Can scar tissue make my crease look higher?
Yes. Scar adhesions can pull the eyelid inward, making the crease appear deeper and higher than intended.
Is revision surgery more difficult?
Yes. Revision surgery is technically more demanding because of scar tissue, altered anatomy, and previous surgical changes.
When should revision surgery be performed?
Most patients should wait approximately 6–12 months after the original procedure unless earlier correction is medically necessary.
Can asymmetrical high eyelid creases be corrected?
Many patients experience significant improvement in eyelid balance and symmetry following individualized revision surgery.
How long should I stay in Korea?
International patients typically stay in Korea for 7–14 days depending on surgery and follow-up appointments.
Can I receive an online consultation?
Yes. Initial assessment usually begins with photographs and details of your previous eyelid surgery.
