Introduction
In general, the development of triple eyelids may be caused by factors such as excessive fluid intake before bedtime, improper sleeping posture, aging, genetic predisposition, or eye allergies. This condition can usually be improved through procedures such as eyebrow incision surgery, suture-based double eyelid surgery, hyaluronic acid fillers, autologous fat grafting, or full-incision double eyelid surgery. In daily life, ensure adequate sleep and avoid rubbing your eyes.
