Hello, I’m Dr. Choi from WINK Plastic Surgery. Today’s topic is double eyelid surgery for middle school students. These days, even middle school students tend to be very interested in their eyelids. That is why many use double eyelid tape or double eyelid glue. However, these can be harmful to eye health and may cause skin sagging or skin problems, so from a medical standpoint, they are not ideal. Therefore, it can be said that it is better to create a double eyelid through surgery.

Then shall we look at the age at which double eyelid surgery is possible? In general, double eyelid surgery is not particularly tied to age. In cases where a person is born with insufficient eyelid-opening strength, such as congenital ptosis, ptosis correction and double eyelid surgery are sometimes performed even before the age of 5 for the development of vision. However, in such cases, the eyes and surrounding tissues may change somewhat as they grow later on, so another surgery may be needed after becoming an adult.

In general, the eyes develop relatively quickly. That is because they are an important organ in the body. Usually, by age 14, they are considered to have developed almost to adult level. Therefore, double eyelid surgery is possible for middle school students as well, and the difference in eye size between middle school age and adulthood is almost negligible. However, please note that due to growth, the double eyelid may sag in adulthood, or another surgery may become necessary.
