Why do children have single eyelids when both parents have double eyelids?

Patient's question:

My husband and I both have double eyelids, but why is our son single-lidded? However, I've noticed that sometimes his eyelids become double when he wakes up. Will he turn into double eyelids in the future?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it's normal for both you and your partner to have double eyelids, so it's not surprising if your child is born with single eyelids. The child is still young, and there may still be changes. If you are not satisfied with your child's eyes after they grow up, you can take them for double eyelid surgery when they are older. Currently, the child's physical and mental health is the most important. It is recommended to give your child more nutritious foods and eat more fruits. Wishing your child a healthy growth.
