Some people can momentarily create a double eyelid just by rolling their eyes or closing and reopening them in a specific way. But why does this happen, and what does it say about your eyelid structure? In this video, we dive into the science of eyelid creases, skin tension, and levator aponeurosis muscle activation to explain this phenomenon.
Why Can Some People Do This?
The ability to temporarily form a double eyelid crease often depends on:
✔ Skin Tension & Crease Formation: Eyelid creases form along dominant skin tension lines, which naturally occur in areas of repetitive movement. Some people have an eyelid structure that allows the skin to fold along this natural tension line when the levator muscle is engaged.
✔ Subcutaneous Fat & Eyelid Thickness: Thinner eyelid skin with minimal subcutaneous fat makes it easier for the skin to fold, while thicker skin with more fat can resist crease formation.
✔ Age & Hormonal Influence: Some people develop permanent double eyelids over time due to changes in skin elasticity, fat distribution, and repeated activation of the levator aponeurosis muscle.
Why Do Some Eyelid Creases Disappear?
Eyelid creases are not always permanent. Some factors that can cause a temporary crease to fade include:
❌ Swelling and water retention, which can temporarily obscure the crease.
❌ Inconsistent skin tension, where the eyelid does not naturally fold along the same line over time.
❌ Loss of skin elasticity, which happens with aging or due to prolonged mechanical stretching.
How to Reinforce & Maintain a Double Eyelid Crease
For those who experience temporary creases and want a more stable result, there are two key methods:
✅ Eyelid Tracing Exercises: Using a shaping tool to reinforce the natural tension line, which helps train the skin to fold consistently.
✅ Specialized Double Eyelid Tapes: Unlike regular adhesive-based tapes, Optifold uses skin tension reinforcement to guide natural crease formation over time, helping users maintain double eyelids without surgery.
