Double Eyelid Types
-
Infold
This is the most common type of double eyelid among Asians so it looks the most natural. This fold is recommended for those who desire natural-looking, smaller double eyelids. -
Outfold
This is the most common type of fold among Caucasians. It gives a graceful, active, and westernized appearance. This fold is recommended for those who prefer a higher fold. -
In-out Fold
The in-out fold is a cross between an infold and an outfold. This fold is usually the most appropriate selection for Asians as it gives a natural, yet elegant appearance. Also, by achieving in-outfold, the eyes length can look longer than infold.
Things to consider when deciding fold type
In cases of blepharoptosis, if double eyelid surgery is performed without ptosis correction or if ptosis is not corrected properly, it is inevitable that the eyebrows and forehead will still be used to open the eyes. This results in an unnaturally heightened eyelid fold and unnatural lines, and the eyes look dull and sleepy.
The eyelid skin is too thick for a high fold surgery. A ptosis correction is not performed or is performed improperly.​
Where eyes are positioned and if they are well-balanced
Position of the eyes: the ends of the eyes, eyebrows, and nostrils should align at equal angles
If the eyelid skin is thin, a high fold is usually most appropriate. If the skin is thick, a small, lower fold is more appropriate
Length: the ratio of the length of the eyes to the length between the eyes should be close to 1:1
The outer corners of the eyes should be slightly higher up than the inner corners, forming an angle of about 10 degrees
