Treatment Overview
Crease Revision Upper Blepharoplasty is a corrective eyelid surgery that focuses on revising, redefining, or reconstructing the upper eyelid fold after a previous double eyelid or upper blepharoplasty procedure. It is designed for patients who are dissatisfied with their current crease due to asymmetry, multiple folds, uneven height, scarring, or unnatural results. In Korea, this surgery is highly advanced, with surgeons known for their ability to restore natural eyelid contours and symmetry through refined techniques.
