Exploring Various Double Eyelid Surgery Methods

Factors such as individual facial features and proportions

significantly influence a person's overall aura and impression.

Among the features that make up the face, the eyes play a crucial role in determining expressions and

overall impression. If an individual feels their eyes appear somewhat dull

or require improvement, they might consider double eyelid surgery.

Double eyelid surgery typically involves creating a crease in the eyelid to make the eyes appear larger.

There are various crease shapes, including in-line and out-line.

It's crucial to choose a method that harmonizes with one's face, rather than simply aiming for large and beautiful eyes.

Even if eyes are inherently large and beautiful, if their shape contradicts one's overall image,

they might instead create an unnatural and burdensome impression.

Primarily, double eyelid surgery can be categorized into incisional and non-incisional methods.

The former involves incising the skin to remove unnecessary fat or

muscle, thereby creating a clearer eye shape.

This method can be applied if the skin is relatively saggy, the fat layer or eyelids are comparatively thick and require correction,

or if the eye size needs to be expanded for the purpose of strengthening the levator palpebrae superioris muscle.

The process begins by planning the appropriate height and shape of the crease based on the facial balance before surgery.

During the procedure, after incising the skin and removing unnecessary fat and muscle,

the incision site is sutured to create a distinct eye shape.

As this method effectively addresses sagging eyelids, it also aids in improving ptosis,

and because the incision area is relatively small,

concerns about post-operative swelling can be reduced.

Partial incisional double eyelid surgery, as the name suggests, involves a partial incision.

Through a micro-incision of approximately 3mm, eyelid fat is removed or

adhesions are formed to create an embedded-type crease both internally and externally.

This method can be considered for double eyelid surgery if the crease is not smooth due to fat or muscle around the eyelids,

or if one desires a natural-looking double eyelid crease without an overly dramatic appearance.

Occasionally, excessive fat around the eyes can make them appear swollen.

In such cases, if partial incision is used to alleviate the swollen appearance, it can help resolve issues related to the crease loosening later on.

The surgical process involves making an incision of about 1-1.5cm in the middle of the eye,

carefully connecting the muscle that opens the eye to the eyelid skin, and then suturing to finish.

When proceeding with the buried suture method, there is a relatively higher chance of the crease loosening,

depending on the individual. If this is a concern,

double eyelid surgery using natural adhesion might be a suitable alternative.

Natural adhesion surgery compensates for the drawbacks of both the traditional buried suture and incisional methods, reducing the likelihood of the crease loosening.

Since the surgery is performed through micro-holes,

the probability of leaving scars later on is also significantly reduced.

Especially if you feel burdened by incisional surgical methods,

or are concerned about scars and swelling, natural adhesion can be considered.

Furthermore, natural adhesion is also a viable option when the eyelid skin is thin or the degree of sagging is mild.

The natural adhesion double eyelid surgery process, similar to other methods, involves designing an appropriate double eyelid crease based on the overall facial balance,

creating micro-holes to drain fat,

and then firmly connecting the inside and outside of the eyelid with a thread to complete the procedure.

Another advantage of this double eyelid surgery is that the knot and scar are barely visible, as it promotes natural

adhesion through micro-holes.

Therefore, it is particularly advantageous for busy professionals and students.

However, before undergoing the procedure, it is advisable to have a 1:1 consultation and examination with a medical team possessing extensive clinical experience and rich expertise

to determine the most suitable method for you.

Our clinic has encountered various cases and possesses numerous surgical examples.

Our medical team strives to achieve ideal results by thoroughly considering each individual's unique eye structure and overall facial feature proportions.

Along with this, we delicately design the procedure to complement individual weaknesses and highlight strengths,

ensuring efficient care.

In terms of post-operative care, the same medical team remains with you until the end,

allowing for thorough monitoring of the progress.

Immediately after surgery, the surgical site should not be touched, and for approximately two weeks,

lying face down should be avoided to prevent sutures from loosening.

Consumption of any medication other than those prescribed by the medical team should be refrained from,

and proper cold/warm compress methods should be understood and followed.

During this time, it is recommended to apply ice packs for about 3-4 days, followed by warm compresses,

to promote smooth blood circulation.

Above all, wearing contact lenses is not recommended as it can irritate the eyes during the healing process,

and alcohol consumption and smoking, which can induce various side effects and inflammation,

should also be avoided for a while.

By paying close attention not only to the surgery but also to daily life management,

you can achieve a speedy recovery and eye changes that meet your needs.

We hope you will refer to the information reviewed so far and choose the appropriate alternative for improvement.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the different types of double eyelid surgery methods?

Double eyelid surgery can be broadly classified into incisional, partial incisional, and natural adhesion methods. The incisional method is suitable for sagging skin or thick eyelids, while the partial incisional method uses a micro-incision to remove fat and create a natural crease. The natural adhesion method reduces the likelihood of the crease loosening while minimizing concerns about scars and swelling.

When is incisional double eyelid surgery suitable?

Incisional double eyelid surgery is suitable when the skin is sagging or the fat layer and eyelids are thick and require correction. It can also be applied for the purpose of improving ptosis by strengthening the levator palpebrae superioris muscle to expand eye size.

What are the advantages of natural adhesion double eyelid surgery?

Natural adhesion double eyelid surgery compensates for the disadvantages of the existing buried suture and incisional methods, reducing the likelihood of the crease loosening and leaving almost no scars. Since it is performed through micro-holes, there is less concern about swelling or scarring, making it advantageous for busy professionals and students.

What precautions should be taken after double eyelid surgery?

After double eyelid surgery, the surgical site should not be touched, and lying face down should be avoided for approximately two weeks. Refrain from taking any medication other than those prescribed by the medical team, and apply compresses correctly (ice initially, then warm compresses). It is advisable to avoid wearing contact lenses, drinking alcohol, and smoking for a while.

What are the characteristics of partial incisional double eyelid surgery?

Partial incisional double eyelid surgery involves a micro-incision of approximately 3mm to remove eyelid fat and form adhesions, creating a natural crease. It is suitable when the crease is not smooth due to fat around the eyelids or when a natural-looking double eyelid is desired, and it can also help resolve issues with the crease loosening.
