Crease Maturation After Double Eyelid Surgery
(Surgery by Dr. Frank Meronk)
|
 |
Before
Single eyelid with multiple superficial incomplete folds; lashes pushed far downwards |
 |
5 days after
Marked swelling above and below the incision line |
|
 |
2 weeks after
New platform is swollen and crease appears high and overly arched |
 |
4 weeks after
Less swelling on platform; crease slightly lower and smoother but still quite high |
 |
6 weeks after
Less swelling; crease is better defined and slightly lower due to skin above the incision beginning to soften and drape |
 |
2 months after
Crease is lower as the skin above has draped further |
|
|
3 months after
As internal healing continues, lashes have assumed a more upward direction |

6 months after
Platform thinner; crease is lower, more defined, and more regular in the corners due to the continued draping of skin above the scar |

12 months after
Medium tapered crease at full maturation |
