Double Eyelids: editorial portrait of a woman showing natural upper-eyelid folds
Introduction

A double eyelid is an upper eyelid with a visible crease, whereas a single eyelid, or monolid, has none, and roughly half of East Asian adults have no visible crease. This guide covers the eyelid fold types, the features that distinguish a hidden crease from a hooded or drooping lid, and each method of creating or restoring a crease in Singapore, from tape to suture, incision and ptosis repair, graded on published evidence and listed with its 2026 price range.

Summary

A double eyelid is an upper eyelid with a visible crease, formed where fibres of the levator, the muscle that raises the lid, attach to the skin. Roughly 40 to 50 per cent of East Asian adults have no crease. Four eyelid types are recognised, namely the monolid, the hidden or inner double eyelid, the tapered fold and the parallel fold, together with hooded and lost-crease variants, and the eyelid type determines the appropriate option. The options range from tape or glue for a single day to a suture (DST) crease, a partial or full incision, and ptosis correction where the lid itself sits low. All surgical methods carry Grade B evidence. A natural fold on East Asian eyes sits 5 to 7 mm above the lash line.

  • Four eyelid types are recognised, the monolid, the hidden or inner double eyelid, the tapered fold and the parallel fold, together with hooded and lost-crease variants, and each type requires a different approach.
  • DST stitching is reversible and suits thin lids and hidden creases, although 5 to 20 per cent of stitched folds loosen over the years.
  • Full incision creates a permanent crease and is the method of choice for thick or hooded lids.
  • A lost crease combined with a lid that sits low on the iris indicates ptosis, which requires levator repair rather than a suture crease.
  • A natural fold on Asian eyes sits 5 to 7 mm above the lash line, and a fold higher than 8 mm begins to look surgically created.
  • Tape and glue are the only non-surgical means of creating a double eyelid, and the fold they create lasts a single day.

What is a double eyelid? Double eyelid vs single eyelid vs monolid

A double eyelid is an upper eyelid with a visible crease between the lash line and the brow. The crease forms where fibres from the levator pass through the orbicularis, the ring of muscle that closes the eye, and insert into the skin. When the eye opens, the levator draws this line of skin upwards and backwards, and the skin above it folds over to form the crease. A single eyelid, or monolid, lacks this attachment or has one positioned so low that the fold remains hidden, and the lid skin therefore drapes smoothly from brow to lashes. In many East Asian lids, the orbital septum, the membrane that holds back the orbital fat, joins the levator lower down. This allows fat to descend further into the lid, where it can prevent the fibres from reaching the skin.

Roughly 40 to 50 per cent of East Asian adults have no visible crease, and many of the remainder have a low or hidden one. Both patterns are normal anatomical variants rather than defects. Demand for double eyelid surgery in Singapore therefore reflects aesthetic preference rather than medical need. The exception is a crease that has disappeared because the lid itself has dropped, which is a sign of ptosis.

Four related conditions are frequently mistaken for an absent or abnormal crease.

  • Hooded eyes have a crease, but excess skin above it hangs over the fold and conceals it, and the problem therefore lies in surplus skin rather than a missing fold. Skin removal for hooding is covered at Sagging eyelids.
  • Ptosis is a lid that sits low over the eye because the levator or its tendon has stretched or detached, and the crease often rises or doubles as the detached tendon retracts. Ptosis repair is covered at Sagging eyelids.
  • A low or dropped brow pushes skin down over the fold, which can make a double eyelid appear single. Brow position is covered at Eyebrows.
  • Hollow upper lids show a deep groove beneath the brow, often resulting from age-related loss of the fat cushion behind the lid, and this groove can be mistaken for a high crease. Volume loss in this area is covered at Sunken-looking eyes.

The fold patterns and the full self-check are set out at Single eyelid vs double eyelid: types and monolids, and every method is compared with its 2026 Singapore price at Double eyelid surgery Singapore.

Hidden double eyelid, tapered double eyelid and hooded double eyelid explained

A monolid has no crease, and its thicker skin and lower-lying fat determine whether a suture will hold. A hidden or inner double eyelid is a crease 1 to 3 mm above the lashes that is visible when the lids are not swollen and disappears when they are puffy. It requires the least surgery, because the skin attachment already exists. A tapered fold narrows into the epicanthal fold at the inner corner and is the commonest natural pattern in East Asian eyes, whereas a parallel fold maintains an even height to the inner corner. A hooded lid has a crease concealed by excess skin, which makes it a skin problem rather than a crease problem. A lost or asymmetric crease after the age of 35 can signal early ptosis. The full description of each type, with fold height and crease width, is at Single eyelid vs double eyelid: types and monolids.

Hooded eyes vs double eyelid, a mirror self-check

The check is performed in daylight in front of a mirror, with the gaze directed straight ahead.

  1. Open eyes, relaxed brow A visible crease indicates a double eyelid, whereas the absence of a crease leads to step 2.
  2. Close the eye and look down A faint line 1 to 3 mm above the lashes indicates a hidden double eyelid, and the absence of any line indicates a monolid.
  3. Follow the crease towards the nose A crease that narrows into the skin of the inner corner is tapered, whereas a crease that maintains an even height to the inner corner is parallel.
  4. Lift the brow with a fingertip Where a substantial fold of skin lifts away and reveals a crease hidden beneath it, the cause is hooding rather than fold type.
  5. Hold the brow still and compare the two lid edges Where one lid edge covers more of the coloured iris than the other, ptosis should be assessed before any cosmetic decision is made.

The full mirror self-check, including fold height and asymmetry, is set out on Double eyelid types and monolids.

Double eyelid options at a glance

Every surgical method creates or strengthens the attachment between the levator and the skin, so that the skin folds when the eye opens. The methods differ in how that attachment is made, whether skin or fat is removed, how long the crease lasts and how visible the recovery is. Evidence is graded A for systematic reviews or several controlled trials, B for controlled or cohort studies, C for small case series or expert consensus, and D where no published evidence exists beyond marketing claims.

Option What it does Evidence grade Best for
DST / suture method Buried stitches create the crease without incision B Thin lids, hidden crease, reversibility
Partial incision Short incisions, limited fat removal, crease stitched B Fatty lids without excess skin
Full incisional blepharoplasty Skin, muscle and fat removed, permanent crease B Thick or hooded lids, permanent result
Ptosis correction + crease Levator tightened, lid raised, crease formed B Droopy lid, lost crease, asymmetry
Plasma pen Shrinks lid skin, no crease formed C Mild hooding, surgery declined
Tape or glue Temporary fold lasting one day D Trial of fold shape, occasional use

A grade applies to a treatment for a specific outcome. The same treatment can carry a different grade on another page when the outcome measured is different.

Double eyelid surgery Singapore compares each method with its 2026 Singapore price, downtime, risks, recovery and revision. Ptosis, a lid that sits low on the eye, is covered at Sagging eyelids.

Double eyelid surgery for Asian eyes with natural results

A natural result from double eyelid surgery on East Asian eyes has a fold height of 5 to 7 mm from the lash line, a tapered or gently parallel shape that follows the existing epicanthal fold, and a crease that does not rise or double when the eye opens. A fold below 5 mm appears subtle, a fold above 8 mm begins to look surgically created, and a fold above 10 mm resembles a European lid on an Asian face. Crease width, the band of lid skin visible between the lashes and the fold, depends on how far the brow and the skin beneath it overhang the lid, and two people with the same fold height can therefore look markedly different.

Unnatural results usually reflect errors of design. Examples include a fold set too high, a parallel crease forced onto an eye with a strong epicanthal fold, which ends the crease in a sharp triangle at the inner corner, and a crease formed on a ptotic lid. A crease set too high is generally harder to correct than one set too low, because the high attachment must be released from scar tissue before a lower crease can be formed. Fold shape and height are therefore agreed before surgery, with tape used to trial the fold.

Double eyelid surgery vs eyelid lift (ptosis) surgery, two different procedures

Double eyelid surgery creates a fold in the skin, whereas ptosis surgery raises the lid itself by tightening the levator muscle. An eye that appears small and tired, a brow raised to compensate, or a lid covering more than 2 mm of the iris indicates ptosis. A crease formed on a ptotic lid makes the droop more conspicuous. Hooded eyes are a third, separate problem, in which excess skin hangs over a normal lid and crease, and treatment consists of skin removal. The three conditions are often corrected in one operation after the age of 40, but each is diagnosed separately. The surgical route for a droopy lid is set out at Sagging eyelids.

When a double eyelid concern needs medical assessment rather than cosmetic surgery

  • A crease that disappears on one side in adulthood, together with a lid that sits lower on the iris, indicates early ptosis, and levator function should be assessed before any cosmetic surgery.
  • A lid that droops suddenly, or droops together with headache, double vision or an unequal pupil, needs emergency assessment immediately: go to A&E or call 995. These signs can indicate damage to the nerves that control the lid and the pupil, for example from a stroke or from an aneurysm compressing the oculomotor nerve.
  • Hooding that obstructs the upper field of vision is a medical rather than a cosmetic problem, and in Singapore the blepharoplasty may be claimable from MediSave once a visual field test confirms the obstruction.
  • Ptosis surgery and blepharoplasty for visual obstruction should be performed by a plastic surgeon or by an ophthalmologist with oculoplastic training, which is specialist training in eyelid and orbital surgery.

How to prevent a double eyelid from fading

  • Repeated eye rubbing from allergy, such as the house dust mite allergy common in Singapore, stretches the attachment between the levator and the skin, and treatment of the allergy therefore helps to protect the crease.
  • Years of contact lens wear and vigorous removal of eye makeup can loosen the lid, as repeated traction stretches the levator tendon.
  • Daily sunscreen and avoidance of smoking protect the collagen in the thin lid skin that holds the fold.
  • Adequate sleep and moderate salt and alcohol intake help to keep a hidden crease visible, because lid puffiness from fluid retention conceals it.
  • Occasional use of tape or glue is reasonable, although current clinical opinion advises against daily use over many years.

Hooding and brow descent, the two age-related changes that most often conceal a crease, are covered at Sagging eyelids and Eyebrows.

Frequently asked questions

What is a double eyelid?


A double eyelid is an upper eyelid with a visible crease between the lashes and the brow, formed where fibres of the levator muscle attach to the skin. A single eyelid, or monolid, has no visible crease. Roughly 40 to 50 per cent of East Asian adults have no crease, and both patterns are normal anatomical variants rather than defects.

What is a hidden double eyelid?


A hidden double eyelid is a crease that exists but is covered by the skin above it when the eye is open. It sits 1 to 3 mm above the lashes and becomes visible when the eye looks down. Its visibility varies from day to day with lid puffiness, and it is the easiest type to correct, because the suture method only raises an attachment that is already present.

Is double eyelid surgery the same as ptosis surgery?


Double eyelid surgery and ptosis surgery are different procedures. Double eyelid surgery creates a fold in the skin, whereas ptosis surgery raises the lid itself by tightening the levator muscle. Hooded eyes are a third, separate problem, in which excess skin hangs over a normal lid and crease, and treatment consists of skin removal. The three are often corrected in one operation after the age of 40, but each is diagnosed separately.

How do I get a double eyelid naturally without surgery?


Tape, glue and stickers are the only non-surgical means of creating a double eyelid, and the fold they create lasts a single day. No cream, exercise or device creates a lasting crease. A hidden crease becomes more visible when puffiness from sleep loss, salt and alcohol is reduced.

Does double eyelid tape damage your eyelids?


The one documented risk of double eyelid tape is contact dermatitis from the adhesive. Stretched or lax lid skin after years of daily use is widely reported by surgeons but remains clinical opinion rather than a published finding. Occasional use to trial a fold shape is reasonable.

Why does a double eyelid disappear with age?


Hooding and brow descent are the two age-related changes that most often conceal a crease. Repeated eye rubbing, years of contact lens wear and vigorous makeup removal can also loosen the attachment between the levator and the skin. A crease that disappears on one side, together with a lid that sits lower on the iris, indicates early ptosis, which should be assessed before any cosmetic surgery.
