What upper eyelid surgery involves
The consultation should describe the relationship between eyelid skin, fat, crease, lid position and brow. A crease procedure creates attachments that define the fold; an incisional approach can also allow selected tissue removal. Crease height and shape should reflect the person’s anatomy and preferences. A standardized appearance is not a reliable substitute for examining eye closure and eyelid function.
Who may be suitable?
Assessment includes excess skin, fat, baseline asymmetry, crease behavior and eyelid movement. Dry eye, contact-lens use, previous eye operations and difficulty closing the eyes matter. Ask whether an ophthalmic assessment is appropriate when symptoms or a functional eyelid problem are present.

Explore procedure & clinicsWhat the procedure cannot promise
Crease surgery does not automatically correct ptosis, a low brow or all causes of a tired appearance. The choice between incisional and buried-suture methods depends partly on skin and fat. A method described as non-incisional can still lose its crease or require another procedure.
Risks to discuss before deciding
Risks include bleeding, infection, asymmetry, visible scarring, dry eye, difficulty closing the eyes and revision. Eyelid surgery can rarely cause serious visual complications. Ask how the proposed amount of tissue removal will protect closure and what emergency contact arrangements apply if vision changes after surgery.
Other ways to address the concern
No surgery is appropriate when the expected change is not worth the trade-off. Brow position or eyelid muscle function may need a separate assessment rather than adding procedures by default. Non-surgical skin treatments address different concerns and cannot be assumed to reproduce a surgically created crease.
