Double eyelid surgery is a specialized eyelid procedure designed to create a defined upper eyelid crease. For patients who naturally lack a visible crease or have an indistinct fold, this procedure can enhance eyelid definition while maintaining a natural, balanced appearance. The goal is not to change the shape of the eye, but to create proportion and clarity in the upper eyelid. At Align Aesthetics, double eyelid surgery is approached with careful attention to facial harmony and individual anatomy.
What Is Double Eyelid Surgery?
Double eyelid surgery is a procedure that creates a permanent upper eyelid crease, sometimes called a “double eyelid.” This crease allows the upper eyelid to fold more distinctly when the eyes are open, adding definition to the eyelid without altering eye size or expression. All eyelid procedures at Align Aesthetics, including double eyelid surgery, are performed by Dr. Lamise Rajjoub, a dedicated eyelid specialist with advanced expertise in the delicate anatomy of the eye area.

Benefits of Double Eyelid Surgery
Double eyelid surgery offers several aesthetic benefits, including:
- A defined and natural-looking upper eyelid crease
- Improved eyelid symmetry
- Enhanced eye definition while preserving natural expression
- Long-lasting results
- A customized result based on eyelid structure and patient goals
Each procedure is tailored to complement the patient’s facial features and personal goals, rather than follow a one-size-fits-all approach, with careful discussion to understand each patient’s desired outcome.
Candidates for Double Eyelid Surgery
Double eyelid surgery may be appropriate for individuals who do not have a naturally defined upper eyelid crease or who want improved eyelid symmetry or definition. Ideal candidates are generally in good overall health and have realistic expectations about surgical results. During a consultation, Dr. Rajjoub will carefully assess eyelid anatomy, discuss aesthetic goals, and determine whether double eyelid surgery is appropriate. All pre- and post-procedure instructions are reviewed in detail during this visit, so patients know what to expect.
The Double Eyelid Surgery Procedure
Double eyelid surgery is performed in Align Aesthetics’ in-office surgical suite and is often combined with blepharoplasty. When performed together, the procedure typically takes under one hour, depending on the individualized surgical plan. After numbing the treatment area and ensuring patient comfort, a precise incision is made along the planned crease location. Through this incision, the crease is carefully created and secured to achieve a natural fold that aligns with the patient’s eyelid structure. The incision is then closed with fine sutures designed to minimize visible scarring. Patients are monitored briefly after the procedure and can return home the same day.

MEET THE TEAMRecovery and Results
Following double eyelid surgery, swelling and bruising are common and gradually improve over the first one to two weeks. Most patients resume normal daily activities within several days after following the surgical team’s aftercare guidelines. As healing continues, the eyelid crease becomes more refined and settles into a natural appearance. Final results develop over several weeks as swelling fully resolves. Follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor healing.
