The area and the goal come first. Creating an upper crease, reducing excess skin and treating lower-eye bags are not interchangeable operations.
DOUBLE EYELIDUpper eyelid crease design
Goal: Create or adjust an upper eyelid crease. Its height, shape and symmetry are planned around the person's existing anatomy.
Limit: A crease procedure does not by itself treat lower-eye bags or establish that a drooping lid's opening function will improve.

UPPER EYELIDUpper blepharoplasty
Goal: Address excess upper-lid skin and, when appropriate, fat or other tissues. This differs from simply requesting a higher crease.
Limit: A low brow or eyelid ptosis can also create a heavy-lid appearance. Removing skin alone may not address the cause.
Brow position and upper eyelids →Ask about upper eyelids
LOWER EYELIDLower blepharoplasty and eye bags
Goal: Assess lower-lid bags, excess skin and tissue support. Fat may be repositioned or removed depending on the plan.
Limit: An inside-the-lid incision does not remove skin. The approach therefore depends on whether the concern includes loose skin as well as fullness.

PREVIOUS EYELID SURGERYEyelid revision assessment
Goal: Identify the concern after an earlier procedure: crease, symmetry, scars, comfort or eye closure.
Limit: A new design cannot be planned without assessing existing tissue and function. Bring available operation records and describe any dry-eye or vision symptoms.
