Let’s Learn About Incisional Double Eyelid Surgery.

Hello, I’m Director Choi Seung-hyeop of Wink Plastic Surgery. The topic I’ll be talking about this time is incisional double eyelid surgery. Let’s look at which cases it is suitable for, what its characteristics are, and whether there are any special precautions.

There are usually three cases in which incisional double eyelid surgery is necessary. It is needed in cases where there is a lot of skin or fat that needs to be removed, cases with severe ptosis, and cases where an existing double eyelid line needs to be lowered.

Through incisional double eyelid surgery, excess sagging skin, scars, and orbital fat can be removed, and if severe ptosis is present, correction can be made more easily.

Also, to lower a high eyelid crease, the existing crease must be released while creating a new crease lower down. In such cases, the crease needs to be lowered through an incision.

As such, incisional double eyelid surgery has many advantages. One drawback often mentioned is scarring, but the red, raised type of scar that appears for about one to two months after surgery gradually decreases after six months, so it is not something to worry about too much.

There are also claims that once incisional double eyelid surgery is performed, revision surgery cannot be done later or that it causes problems for future revision surgery, but most of this is not true. If there is enough skin and the scarring is not severe, revision surgery is usually possible. However, if the skin is excessively insufficient or the scarring is excessively severe, the range of revision surgery that can be performed is limited, so please keep that in mind.

That concludes our look at incisional double eyelid surgery.
