[Atone TV] Double Eyelid Surgery <Incisional vs. Non-incisional>

Are you feeling confused because

every doctor recommends a different method

for double eyelid surgery?

This time,

double eyelid surgery

and especially the incisional and non-incisional methods,

we’ll talk about them in detail.

✅ The basic differences between incisional and non-incisional surgery

✅ The clear pros and cons of each surgical method

✅ In what cases incisional surgery is necessary

✅ In what cases non-incisional surgery is enough

✅ Recovery period and expected results after surgery

And

✅ The 기준 for choosing the surgical method that suits you

Let’s take a closer look.

Many people worry about which double eyelid surgery method to choose,

but the most important 기준 is the eyelid shape you want.

If you can’t get the shape you want without incisional surgery,

you should choose the incisional method.

If non-incisional surgery is enough to achieve the shape you want,

there’s no need to cut unnecessarily.

If the result you want is the same,

it makes sense to choose the simpler method.

If the same effect can be achieved,

it’s natural to first consider the non-incisional method,

which has a faster recovery and a lower risk of side effects.

First, regarding the non-incisional method,

its biggest advantages are

that it is less expensive

and the recovery period is shorter.

And because it preserves normal tissue almost as it is,

the chance of side effects is very low.

The downside is

that it can be difficult to make enough changes

to the extent you want.

For example,

there are limits to how much you can adjust the eye-opening size.

Also, compared with the incisional method,

it is known that there is a slightly higher chance

that the double eyelid may come undone.

Because of the problem of double eyelids coming undone,

many people consider incisional surgery.

However, personally,

I think deciding on incisional surgery

because of the possibility of it coming undone

is not a good idea.

That’s because non-incisional surgery can also be done so it does not easily come undone,

and even with incisional surgery, if it is done so it does not look surgical,

it can still come undone.

When the surgery is performed so it is less likely to come undone,

I don’t think there is a big difference between the non-incisional and incisional methods.

In fact, because the eyes blink thousands of times a day,

even with the best surgery, there can still be cases where it comes undone.

What matters is

making sure it can be easily corrected with a simple revision surgery

if it does come undone.

In the case of incisional surgery,

it is considered when adjusting the eye-opening shape or size,

as in ptosis correction.

Some adjustment is possible even with the non-incisional method,

but if you want a big change, incisional surgery is needed.

The advantage of incisional surgery is

that it allows more freedom

to adjust the desired double eyelid size.

And it can also address various issues at the same time,

such as loose skin,

sunken eyelids, and fat removal.

The downside is

that it costs more than the non-incisional method

and the recovery period is longer,

because once an incision is made, blood vessels are cut

and time is needed for healing.

Stitches are usually removed after one week,

and daily life is possible,

but bruising or swelling may remain,

and

for it to look natural to others,

it usually takes about one month.

The most beautiful stage is

about one year later.

In summary,

when deciding on a double eyelid surgery method,

it may be helpful to consider what kind of double eyelid shape you want

and how much recovery time and cost you are willing to accept.

And the most important thing is

to clearly communicate the result you want to the doctor,

and to leave the surgical method to the doctor,

as the expert.

The patient’s role is

to accurately convey what they want,

and

it is best to leave the choice of method to the doctor’s expertise.
