High fold eyelids are not simply a matter of preference.
In many cases, an excessively high crease results from overcorrection, scarring, or imbalance in the eyelid structure, leading to an unnatural appearance and functional discomfort.
This page presents real high fold revision cases performed at Ahnsungmin Plastic Surgery in Korea, focusing on lowering the crease to a more natural position while preserving eyelid function and long-term stability.
Each case reflects a structural approach based on the patient’s anatomy, rather than repeating aggressive or aesthetic-driven correction.
To understand the limitations and timing of revision surgery, see our revision surgery insights and revision frequency guide.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a high eyelid crease be lowered?
Yes, but it depends on the existing skin condition, scarring, and available tissue. Not all high folds can be fully lowered, and surgical planning must consider structural limitations.
Why do high folds look unnatural after surgery?
High folds often result from overcorrection or excessive fixation. This can create an imbalanced appearance and tension in the eyelid.
Is revision surgery more difficult for high fold cases?
Yes. Revision surgery becomes more complex due to scar tissue, adhesion, and reduced skin availability, requiring a conservative and structural approach.
