Types of Double Eyelid Surgery: Which Design Suits My Eyes?

Hello, this is AINIC Plastic Surgery.

If you are considering double eyelid surgery, you may have come to read this post.

Since the natural crease in each person’s eyes, that is, the guideline, is different, it is important to have double eyelid surgery with a design that suits your eyes.

Also, not only the design, but because of the characteristics of your skin itself, surgery that matches your skin type may be necessary. Today, while looking at AINIC Plastic Surgery’s special types of double eyelid surgery, shall we determine which double eyelid surgery would suit your eyes?

First, I would like to introduce AINIC’s special double eyelid surgery methods. There are three main types.

The first is the Smooth Incision Method, which creates a soft line by adjusting the depth of the double eyelid line. The second is the High-Density Buried Suture Method, which creates 10-point natural adhesion to help form a double eyelid that does not come undone. The third is the Fat Removal Buried Suture Method, which minimizes scarring by applying an incision of less than 2 mm.

There is a background behind why AINIC developed these special methods. Its main goal is to create “the most natural line that does not come undone.” AINIC Plastic Surgery is a clinic with particularly strong know-how and experience in revision eye surgery. Because it is confident in reoperating on eyes that have experienced side effects, it has also studied ways to prevent revision surgery as much as possible for primary eye plastic surgery and double eyelid surgery. Isn’t that why it places the greatest importance on surgical methods that create a natural line that does not come undone?

Then we should look at the three methods introduced through these special types of double eyelid surgery in more detail, right? First, let’s take a look at the Smooth Incision Method. Smooth Incision is AINIC’s representative eye surgery that helps prevent typical side effects such as a “pinched look” and “deep scarring” by adjusting the depth of the double eyelid.

If we look specifically at how it differs from a general surgical method, unlike a general surgery that fixes the line with the same strength from the inner corner to the outer corner of the eye, AINIC’s Smooth Incision Method is characterized by triple fixation, especially in the inner corner area of the eye, to prevent it from coming undone. In addition, while general surgical methods may use 4–5 fixation points and overlook the wide spacing between points, AINIC’s Smooth Incision Method uses 7–9 fixation points, narrowing the distance between points and focusing on a smoother line.

Other more detailed differences can be found in the content of the photo above or on AINIC’s official website, which can be accessed through the link image at the very bottom of the post.

Next is AINIC’s high-density buried suture method. The high-density buried suture method is a surgery that uses 10-point fixation to lower the chance of it coming undone, narrows the spacing between adhesion points to help create a smoother line, and has the advantage of minimizing scarring. Because it helps prevent the adhesion points from coming undone, it is a surgical method that can help the results last longer.

As mentioned earlier, the general buried suture method uses 4–5 points. Because the surgery is performed through 4–5 incision openings, scars may appear afterward. However, AINIC’s high-density buried suture method uses 10 points, and in terms of incision, the fixation points are made only with needle holes, while only the outermost knot area is microscopically incised by about 2 mm, which minimizes scarring.

Lastly, let’s look at AINIC’s fat removal buried suture method. This method, performed together with the high-density buried suture method, is said to remove fat from the upper eyelid through a minimal incision of less than 4 mm. If there is a lot of fat on the upper eyelid, the upper part of the eye naturally becomes puffy, so if double eyelid surgery is also performed on top of that, the eyes may appear heavy. By removing an appropriate amount of fat, it can create a clearer and more defined double eyelid line, and because there is also less concern about ending up with a sausage-like double eyelid, it is AINIC’s unique surgical method that can be considered very effective. Moreover, because the incision is less than 4 mm, not leaving a scar is also a major advantage of this method.

In this way, we have looked at AINIC’s representative types of double eyelid surgery. There are skin textures on the eyelids that change according to eye movement. When designing the double eyelid, the design follows this natural guideline. So if you are considering double eyelid surgery, the best approach is to consult with a specialist who can properly identify a surgery that matches your natural skin texture as well as the amount of fat in your eyes and the characteristics of your skin. AINIC Plastic Surgery has developed these three types of double eyelid surgery based on more than 5,000 eye surgery cases and by building unique expertise. If you are curious about AINIC’s eye plastic surgery know-how, which has also been featured in US Text, now is the time! It may be a good idea to get a consultation.

So, this has been AINIC, as if you had always been beautiful from the beginning. Thank you.
