Irregular eyelid creases refer to upper eyelid folds that appear high, low, inconsistent, or multiple rather than smooth and symmetrical. These uneven creases can disrupt the harmony of your eyes and face, making one or both eyes appear asymmetrical, aged, or uneven.
At her oculoplastic practice in Irvine, Dr. Melanie Ho Erb offers advanced evaluation and treatment for irregular eyelid creases, helping patients across Orange County and Los Angeles achieve natural, balanced eyelid contours.
Dr. Erb performed eyelid surgery and ptosis to remedy drooping eyelids and brows. Photo posted is 4 months post-surgery. I am thrilled. I feel “awake” and I often don’t even bother with makeup, it’s that much of a difference. I would recommend her to everyone. She is so friendly, knowledgable and extremely professional–as is her staff.
What Causes Irregular or Multiple Eyelid Creases?
Several factors can contribute to irregular or multiple eyelid creases:
Aging and Skin Laxity
Over time, loss of elasticity causes the skin to fold unpredictably, creating inconsistent creases.
Genetics
Some individuals are naturally born with uneven or multiple eyelid folds.
Previous Eyelid Surgery
Over-resection of fat or skin during blepharoplasty can lead to abnormal crease formation.
Eyelid Trauma
Injury to the eyelid tissues may result in scarring and irregular crease development.
Monolid or Asymmetrical Crease
Common in patients of Asian descent, where one lid may have a crease and the other may not.
Excess Skin and Fat Displacement
Can cause crease height differences or broken fold lines.
These issues are often subtle but noticeable–especially in photos, conversation, or when applying makeup.
