Tapered creases are well-defined eyelid creases which run along the length of the entire eye, and merge into the inner corners of the eye. This type is more common in Asian people. On the other hand, parallel creases go straight along the eyelid and run parallel to the base of the upper lid. The creases do not taper into the inner corners of the eye. Parallel double eyelids are more common in western people. It somehow makes the eyes appear larger and brighter.

While designing eyelid creases, the doctor will ask each patient “what type of eyelid would you like?” and also “what height of eyelid crease would you like it to be?. The height of eyelid crease is measured from the eyelashes to eyelid fold. However, it is important to consider the appropriate height of eyelid crease for each patient because there is a limit. Doctor cannot make a crease higher than the upper tarsal plate of the eyelid. A reason is that having too much high crease can cause ptosis.

Tapered or small creases may suit well with asian people or who have small shape of eyes. It also gives a natural look which suits the people who don’t like to do makeup or apply natural-Korean makeup style. For girls who love to do eyeliner,  want their eyes to look charming and striking or love to wear eyelid western makeup style, parallel or big creases may meet these kinds of people's lifestyles and needs. The results may make them have more fun with makeup. 

However, doing parallel and big eyelid creases may need to do more technique of surgery besides Upper Blepharoplasty, which is Medial Epicanthoplasty or inner corner fold removal for more natural appearance. Anyway, this technique may be not necessary for people who already have no fold at the inner corner.
