Smoothing out unintended layered creases on the upper eyelid.
"Careful dissection and the prevention of re-adhesion — without resorting to ptosis correction or fat grafting unless they are clearly indicated — is our preferred approach."
— Dr. Choi Dong-Il, Director
A precise procedure that addresses unintended layered creases on the upper eyelid.
Multiple fold correction calls for a carefully considered plan. Multiple folds present as unintended creases above the main double eyelid line, leaving the upper lid with several layered lines rather than a single, clean fold.
※ Surgical and recovery details may vary depending on the patient's individual condition.
From surgery time to return to daily life.
In most cases, revision is performed approximately six months after the original surgery — the time generally required for matured scar tissue to soften. When the symptoms are severe enough to interfere with daily life, however, revision may be performed earlier as clinically appropriate.
Four clinical situations in which multiple fold correction is most effective.
Adhesion following prior revisions
such as double-line excision or retraction repair
Congenital
multiple folds
Thin eyelid skin with
limited underlying tissue
Folds loosening as
a previous ptosis correction releases
Multiple folds can arise from several different causes; identifying the specific one is what allows the result to look natural.
Develops as a result of adhesion following revisional procedures such as double-line excision or retraction repair.
Congenital multiple folds, or folds that loosen as a previous ptosis correction releases over time.
A three-step approach: dissection, prevention of re-adhesion, and selective fat grafting when indicated.
Avoiding ptosis correction and fat grafting whenever they are not strictly indicated.
Fat grafting is occasionally indicated, but in most cases it is not necessary.
Ptosis correction is similarly indicated only in selected cases.
Minimal additional procedures, supported by careful dissection.
A careful diagnosis by an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon.
An individualized design that takes the eye shape, current condition, and overall facial balance into account.
Thorough planning and refined surgical technique to minimize tissue trauma.

Two failure modes — over-corrected ptosis and a failed double-line revision — combine into a single multiple-fold pattern. This is how it presents and how we approach it.
