Apgujeong Eye Surgery Clinic: What Are the Types and Methods of Double Eyelid Surgery?

Hello, at Apgujeong Eye Surgery Clinic

this is Inique.

We often describe the eyes as

a “window to the soul.”

That is why, even through the eyes alone,

emotions and atmosphere can be conveyed,

and a person’s impression can change.

Simply put,

this shows that the importance of the eyes

is very high.

In addition to the expression in the eyes, factors such as eye size and eye shape also determine the overall image of the face.

For these reasons, many people try to make their eyes look clearer

by emphasizing makeup

or consider methods such as

double eyelid surgery.

In general, the larger the eyes appear,

the brighter and clearer the overall impression of the face becomes,

and as the proportions and structure of the eyes improve,

aesthetic satisfaction can increase.

Also, when the visible area of the eyes becomes wider,

visual focus increases,

and the overall image tends to look more refined

and lively.

However, it is often difficult to make up for structural limitations with eye makeup alone,

and especially when both the horizontal and vertical dimensions of the eyes are small,

it can be difficult to achieve enough improvement with makeup alone.

In such cases, double eyelid surgery

is considered as a way to improve both the opening strength of the eyes and their structure.

Today, at Apgujeong Eye Surgery Clinic Inique,

we would like to explain in detail

the types and methods of double eyelid surgery

that can help address these concerns.

At Apgujeong Eye Surgery Clinic, we explain the features of double eyelid surgery.

What is double eyelid surgery?

It is a procedure that creates a natural double eyelid line by making an incision in the upper eyelid

or by using a buried suture method to create adhesion.

Through this,

the eyes can be made to look

clearer and more three-dimensional,

so an aesthetic improvement can be expected,

and in some cases, it can also be applied to improve functional issues such as drooping eyelids or blocked vision

by supplementing the function of the muscles that open the eyes.

Double eyelid surgery methods

can largely be divided into the buried suture method and the incision method,

and it is important to make a plan and decide after considering various factors such as

the shape of the individual’s eyes

and whether ptosis is present.

First, the buried suture method

creates points without an incision

and forms adhesion.

This is commonly referred to as the “stitched” method for double eyelids.

It creates a line and secures it with thread.

It is a relatively simple method

and has a short recovery period.

Second, the incision method

creates the line through an incision.

Compared to the buried suture method, the line tends to be more defined,

and because it is a surgical procedure, some recovery time is needed,

but it is less likely to loosen.

The first surgical method used at Apgujeong Eye Surgery Clinic Inique

is the high-density buried suture method.

To compensate for the possibility of loosening that can occur with conventional buried suture methods

and to increase the stability and durability of adhesion,

multiple points are formed to secure the double eyelid line more firmly.

About 10 adhesion points are precisely placed

to ensure both line uniformity and retention,

and a customized design is made by considering each person’s eyelid thickness and skin characteristics.

The incision is performed with a minimal incision of about 2 mm,

which helps reduce tissue damage

and shorten the recovery period.

This is a case in which the buried suture method is used.

If you have a lot of fat in the eyes, the fat-removal buried suture method can be attempted.

Together with the high-density buried suture method,

it is performed with a 4 mm minimal incision to remove fat,

so there is almost no scar,

and because the fat is corrected,

a clearer result after surgery can also be expected.

Apgujeong Eye Surgery Clinic’s

Smooth Incision Method is different from the generally common incision methods.

It reduces the stitched feeling and the rate of scar formation,

and creates a clean line.

The result is natural,

but because it is handled with triple fixation,

the chance of loosening can also be reduced.

In particular, the front part of the eye, which is easy to loosen,

is completed with firm fixation.

Today, together with Apgujeong Eye Surgery Clinic

and Inique,

we looked at the types and methods of double eyelid surgery

that help make the eyes look beautiful.

The most important thing is

to find and proceed with a method that suits your eye condition well.
