Multiple Eyelid Fold Correction by Dr. Ahn Sung Min
Triple fold correction in Korea is performed to eliminate multiple eyelid creases and restore a single, natural-looking double eyelid fold. At Ahn Sung Min Plastic Surgery Clinic, Dr. Ahn Sung Min carefully evaluates the cause of the triple fold before creating a personalized surgical plan. The goal is smooth, symmetrical eyelids with stable, long-lasting results.
Triple Fold Correction Korea
Triple eyelid folds occur when multiple creases form on the upper eyelid instead of a single natural fold.
This condition may develop naturally with aging or skin laxity, but it is also commonly seen after previous double eyelid surgery or revision surgery. Successful correction requires careful analysis of the eyelid anatomy and scar tissue.
Personalized Consultation by Dr. Ahn Sung Min
Every patient receives a comprehensive eyelid evaluation.
The consultation includes:
- Number of eyelid folds
- Double eyelid crease position
- Scar tissue assessment
- Eyelid skin quality
- Levator muscle function
- Ptosis evaluation
- Eyelid symmetry
- Previous surgical history
- Facial balance
The treatment plan is customized according to the cause of the multiple folds.
Causes of Triple Eyelid Folds
Triple folds may develop because of:
- Previous double eyelid surgery
- Scar tissue formation
- Loose eyelid skin
- Aging
- Weak eyelid support
- Ptosis
- Multiple failed revisions
- Unstable eyelid crease
- Natural anatomical variation
Identifying the underlying cause is essential for long-lasting correction.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is triple fold correction?
Triple fold correction is a revision eyelid procedure that removes multiple eyelid creases and restores a single, natural-looking double eyelid fold.
Why do triple eyelid folds occur?
Triple folds may result from previous eyelid surgery, scar tissue, aging, loose skin, ptosis, or natural anatomical differences.
Can triple folds occur after double eyelid surgery?
Yes. Multiple creases are one of the more common reasons patients seek revision double eyelid surgery.
Can triple folds be corrected without revision surgery?
Mild cases may improve depending on the cause, but established triple folds usually require surgical correction for long-lasting results.
Will only one eyelid crease remain after surgery?
The goal is to create one stable, natural-looking eyelid crease while eliminating unwanted folds.
Can ptosis cause multiple eyelid folds?
Yes. Weak eyelid muscles can contribute to unstable eyelid creases, and ptosis correction may be recommended during surgery.
Is triple fold correction considered revision surgery?
In most cases, yes. Triple fold correction is commonly performed as a revision procedure following previous eyelid surgery.
Will my eyelids look natural after correction?
The objective is to restore smooth eyelid contours and a balanced, natural-looking double eyelid crease.
How long is recovery?
Most swelling and bruising improve within one to two weeks, while final results continue to refine over several months.
Can international patients receive an online consultation?
Yes. International patients can submit photographs and previous surgical information for a preliminary evaluation before visiting Korea.
How long should international patients stay in Korea?
The recommended stay depends on the complexity of the revision procedure and postoperative follow-up schedule.
Can triple fold correction be combined with ptosis surgery?
Yes. If ptosis contributes to the multiple folds, both conditions can often be corrected during the same procedure.
