Restore a Natural Single Eyelid—Soft, Balanced, and Authentic

Double Eyelid to Monolid Surgery (crease reversal) removes or reduces a previous supratarsal crease to recreate a smooth, natural single eyelid. At UE Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, our female board-certified facial surgeon focuses on subtle contour continuity, blink comfort, and ethnic harmony—not a “surgical” look.

Who’s a Good Candidate

• Previously created crease that feels too high, harsh, or asymmetric
• Desire to return to a monolid/low, nearly invisible crease
• Skin allows redraping without tethered dimples or step-offs
• Realistic expectations (some creases can be softened rather than erased)

What This Surgery Can Improve

• Harsh fold or “line break” when looking down
• Asymmetric creases or multiple/skip creases
• Tethering and dimpling from prior fixation
• Uncomfortable lid sensation or unnatural blink contour

Phương pháp phẫu thuật (Tùy chỉnh)

• Adhesion release: carefully undo prior crease sutures/fixations
• Redraping of skin–muscle to smooth the upper lid plane
• Fat redraping or micro-graft (if hollow) to soften the lid–orbit transition
• Levator assessment: ensure blink strength/height is natural (address occult ptosis if present)
• Low-crease camouflage (optional) for a seamless monolid appearance

What to Expect on Surgery Day

• Anesthesia: local with sedation or general (case-dependent)
• Time: ~60–120 minutes (both eyes)
• Đường rạch: bên trong nếp gấp cũ hoặc ngay phía trên đường mi mắt để giải phóng chính xác
• Discharge: same day with lubrication and cold-compress plan

Recovery Timeline

• Swelling/bruising: 5–10 days (social downtime)
• Suture removal: 5–7 days
• Contour settling: 4–8 weeks; final refinement 3–6 months
• Early mild asymmetry is common and typically evens out as swelling resolves

Results You Can Expect

• Smooth monolid (or ultra-low crease) with soft, continuous contour
• Biểu cảm mí mắt chân thực hơn và chớp mắt thoải mái
• Reduced dimpling/skip lines and improved makeup laydown

Chăm sóc sau phẫu thuật

• Chườm lạnh 48 giờ đầu; ngủ ngon hơn sau 1 tuần
• Prescribed lubricating drops/ointment as needed
• Avoid heavy exercise, sauna, contact lenses ~2 weeks
• Start SPF 50+ and gentle scar care after suture removal (if advised)

Limits & Considerations

• Complete crease erasure isn’t always possible if skin is thin or scarred; goal may be a very low, soft crease that reads as monolid
• Việc cắt bỏ tích cực trước đó hoặc phẫu thuật nhiều lần có thể hạn chế sự đảo ngược; có thể khuyến nghị các kế hoạch theo giai đoạn

Safety & Suitability

• Thorough evaluation for dry eye and levator over/under-correction
• Fitzpatrick-aware scar strategy to reduce PIH risk
• Performed by a board-certified facial surgeon with meticulous hemostasis and tissue handling

Combination Options

• Fat micro-grafting for post-surgical hollowness
• Brow-tail soft lift (if lateral hooding remains)
• Laser toning/LDM later for redness and texture finesse

FAQs

Can you make the crease disappear completely?
Often we can eliminate or lower it significantly; in thin/scarred lids, a very low, soft line may be the most natural outcome.

Will my eyes look smaller?
The goal is a harmonious monolid, not reduced openness; ptosis is corrected if present to preserve eye aperture.

Is the result permanent?
Results are long-lasting; rare re-adhesion can occur and is manageable.
