Let’s Learn About Incisional Double Eyelid Surgery

There are two major methods for double eyelid surgery: non-incisional and incisional. Among them, let’s learn about incisional double eyelid surgery.

Incisional double eyelid surgery is a method in which an incision is made through the entire skin after designing the double eyelid line. Through this, it is easy to access each eyelid structure, such as the skin, orbicularis oculi muscle, fat layer, and levator muscle, making it advantageous for manipulation.

Therefore, in cases with sagging skin and thick skin, it is easier to remove skin or create adhesion, and in eyes with a lot of fat, fat removal is also easier.

If ptosis is severe, direct manipulation of the levator muscle is necessary, and in such cases, the incisional method is more effective.

In cases of loosened double eyelids, if the skin is thick or the fat layer is substantial and the adhesion has loosened, a clearer double eyelid can be created through incisional double eyelid surgery.

Scarring may occur after the incision. The degree varies depending on individual skin characteristics, but typically for about 2 to 6 weeks, scars are in the formation stage, and then they gradually subside. After about 1 year to 1 year and 6 months, the scar becomes stable.

That concludes our look at incisional double eyelid surgery.
