Types of Double Eyelid Surgery Scars and How to Improve Them

Hello, this is INIQUE.

Wanting to have big, clear, and beautiful eyes

is a natural wish that everyone has.

That is why many people choose

"double eyelid surgery" to make their eyes

more beautiful and defined than before.

Double eyelid surgery can make the eyes

appear larger and can also create a more defined

eyelid shape, which is why it is favored by many people

as one of the most common and popular

cosmetic procedures.

However, depending on the case,

double eyelid surgery scars may remain

after the procedure.

If the scar is too noticeable externally,

satisfaction may be lower than before the surgery,

and in some cases, the eyes may not close well,

which can cause discomfort in daily life

due to problems such as these.

So today, at INIQUE,

we will look at the types of double eyelid surgery scars

and how they can be improved through revision surgery.

The types of double eyelid surgery scars

are broadly classified into three categories.

First is a method that improves the scar by

loosening the existing double eyelid.

If the scar is relatively mild,

dissection is performed and then the fold is released

so that it does not crease, and the scar is no longer visible.

Second is a case where improvement

requires excising the existing scar.

This applies to cases of the "depressed type."

In the depressed type, the skin in a specific area becomes thin

and forms a sunken, hollowed-out section,

so the depressed skin must be excised

for improvement to be possible.

This method can also be used to improve cases

where the scar looks messy across the surface.

However, this method can only be performed

when there is enough excess skin.

If there is not enough and too much is removed,

a scar may form again,

and in severe cases the eyes may not close properly,

so a plan must be made according to the patient's condition.

Third is a case where improvement

requires adjusting the fixation depth.

If the original double eyelid was fixed too deeply,

a pinched-looking double eyelid scar may appear

when looking downward.

In such cases, improvement is possible by adjusting

the depth of the fixation, and when doing so,

if part of the skin is incised,

the scar can be kept as clean as possible.

And when there is not enough excess skin,

just adjusting the depth alone can still provide

sufficient improvement.

It is possible to improve through revision surgery,

but the best option is to begin with a delicate technique

from the start so that double eyelid surgery scars

do not form in the first place.

At INIQUE, to prevent scars

and achieve high-quality results,

we identify and fix the exact fixation points

for the double eyelid line.

In addition, because each person has different skin texture

based on eye movement, we design a natural line

that is fixed in a way that follows that texture,

creating a seamless and natural-looking line.

Along with this, we also adjust

the depth of the double eyelid line.

When fixing it, setting the appropriate fixation depth

for each person's eyes—neither too deep nor too shallow—

can help prevent issues such as depressed scarring

and eyelash flipping.

So far, we have shared the know-how

behind double eyelid scar improvement

that INIQUE carries out.

To prevent this and achieve satisfying

results, the key is to proceed at a place

with extensive experience and expertise.

Director Yang Hae-won of INIQUE has had his skills

proven through ongoing paper publications,

awards, and books.

In addition, over many years in the field of plastic surgery,

he has accumulated more than 10,000 cases of experience and know-how,

and is doing his best

to achieve results that are both natural

and highly refined.

solve them together with INIQUE now.

Then, as if you had always been beautiful from the start,

this has been INIQUE.
