A hidden eyelid crease not only reduces facial aesthetics, making the face look less defined and unbalanced, but also causes many people to feel insecure about their appearance. In some cases, a hooded eyelids can even affect vision or partially block eyesight. So, what exactly is a hooded eyelids and what causes this condition? Let’s explore the details with Aesthetic Surgery Center in Vietnam in the article below.

What is a hidden eyelid crease?

A hooded eyelids is a condition where the upper eyelid slightly droops, causing the crease to appear faint or unclear due to excess skin covering it. As a result, the eyelid crease seems “hidden” inside, making the eyes look like single eyelids or unclear double eyelids compared to a normal crease. The most noticeable features of a hidden eyelid crease are a concealed fold line, multiple overlapping folds, or a thin, faint, and poorly defined crease.

What are the causes of a hidden eyelid crease?

The causes of a partially hidden crease often come from various factors, including:

  • Natural eyelid structure: Related to the skin texture, fat distribution, and attachment of the levator muscle, which prevents the eyelid crease from appearing clearly when the eyes are open.
  • Skin aging: This is the main cause of hidden eyelid creases. As we age, the skin gradually loses collagen and elastin, reducing its elasticity. This leads to sagging eyelid skin, making the crease faint or disappear.
  • Unhealthy lifestyle habits: Staying up late, prolonged stress, lack of sleep, improper eye care, or excessive use of electronic devices can weaken the eyelid area, causing drooping and making the eyes look tired.

In addition, genetic factors also play an important role in the formation of hidden eyelid creases. This condition is especially common in Asian countries, where hidden or single eyelids are quite prevalent.

Types of hidden eyelid creases

In fact, hidden eyelid creases do not exist in just one form but include several variations. Let’s explore the different types of hidden eyelid creases below to better understand this condition.

Single hidden eyelid crease

A single hidden eyelid crease, also known as a partial or shallow double eyelid, is a condition where the eyelid fold is faint, unclear, or hidden, making the eyes sometimes appear as single eyelids and other times as double eyelids but without clear definition. Because the crease is not well defined, the eyes often look smaller and less attractive.
The main cause usually comes from the natural eyelid structure that prevents a distinct crease from forming. In addition, unhealthy habits such as staying up late, prolonged fatigue, or spending too much time on electronic devices can make the eyelid fold appear less visible and more blurred.

Double partially hidden crease

A double hidden eyelid crease, also known as a shallow double eyelid, is a condition where the eyelid has two folds, but one or both are faint and unclear. In some cases, the crease may disappear, making the eyes look like single eyelids, or appear as double eyelids without clear definition.

This feature is quite common and may be present from birth or develop due to external factors such as aging, which can make the eye area look less defined and sometimes affect vision.

How to improve a hidden eyelid crease

To correct hidden eyelid creases, you can consider several methods to enhance and define the crease more clearly as follows:

Correction with makeup

A simple way to improve hidden eyelid creases is by using eyelid tape or glue to create a more defined fold. You can combine this with thin eyeliner and natural-looking false lashes to make the eyes appear bigger, brighter, and more defined. However, this is only a temporary solution, frequent use may cause irritation, drooping eyelids, or premature aging of the delicate skin around the eyes.

Correction using eyelid stitching (Non-incisional blepharoplasty)

The eyelid stitching method is a non-surgical technique in which the surgeon uses specialized bio-threads to connect and secure the eyelid skin to the tarsal plate, creating a new, well-defined, and natural-looking crease. This method helps the eyes appear larger, brighter, and more defined without requiring long recovery time. However, it is more suitable for younger individuals whose eyelid skin is still firm and has little excess fat.

Correction using eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty)

For those seeking a permanent solution, Asian blepharoplasty surgery is an effective and long-lasting aesthetic solution to correct hidden eyelids, shallow creases, sagging skin, and excess fat. During this procedure, the surgeon makes a small incision on the eyelid to remove excess tissue while creating a new, well-defined, and balanced crease. This method provides a harmonious look and provides long-lasting results that significantly enhance facial symmetry.
