The Role of Dynamic vs. Static Creases in Asian Blepharoplasty

If you’re considering eyelid surgery, especially Asian blepharoplasty, you know that you want your eyelids to look different. What you might not know, though, is what type of eyelid crease you want your surgeon to create.

Whether your crease is dynamic or static can significantly influence your results. An experienced surgeon knows the importance of this distinction and knows how to provide natural, balanced outcomes.

At Ophthalmic Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery Inc., our skilled team is led by Dr. John B. Holds, an ophthalmic plastic surgeon and Fellow of the American College of Surgeons. We specialize in advanced techniques and are known for our dedication to patient-centered care.

What Is a Dynamic Eyelid Crease?

A dynamic crease is present when your eyes are open, but becomes less noticeable when you close your eyes. This type of crease:

• Moves with your eyelid.
• Is formed by connecting the skin to the muscle that lifts the eyelid.
• Is often softer and more subtle.
• Mimics the appearance of naturally occurring double eyelids in many people of Asian descent.

Dynamic creases create a more authentic, relaxed look. They’re popular among individuals who want their results to blend seamlessly with their facial features.

What Is a Static Eyelid Crease?

A static crease remains visible whether your eyes are open or closed. Characteristics of a static crease include:

• A more defined line at all times.
• Formation through a more fixed attachment of the skin to deeper structures.
• A slightly more dramatic or sculpted appearance.

Static creases are still beautiful. However, they may be more noticeable and less “blended” than dynamic creases, depending on how they are created and the individual’s anatomy.

Why Does It Matter?

Choosing between a dynamic and static crease affects how natural your outcomes will look and your overall satisfaction with the procedure. An experienced oculofacial plastic surgeon will recommend the best approach based on your eyelid anatomy and ideal aesthetic.

At Ophthalmic Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery Inc., our surgeons will work closely with you to design a surgical plan that respects your inherent beauty while delivering the enhancement you envision.
