Gangnam Double Eyelid Surgery: Procedures That Go Well Together at Objet Plastic Surgery

When it comes to the eyes and nose

Objet Plastic Surgery

Most patients

consider only double eyelid surgery

as a way to improve the shape of the eyes.

In reality, depending on the condition of the skin

and the amount of fat each person has,

combining it with other procedures

can be more effective.

Today, when doing Gangnam double eyelid surgery,

I’d like to talk about

which procedures are good to have together.

Cases where 'ptosis correction' is needed during double eyelid surgery

Ptosis correction is a procedure that strengthens

the ability to open the eyes in people with weak eyelid-opening strength.

It helps the eyes open clearly

instead of only opening halfway.

Some people are born with weak eyelid-opening strength,

and others develop it later in life.

In such cases,

if you only create a double eyelid

without ptosis correction,

even if a double eyelid forms after surgery,

the eyes may still not open clearly

and can look sleepy.

For these patients, combining ptosis correction

can help the eyes open more clearly and refreshingly.

Both non-incisional and incisional methods are possible!

For younger people with little skin sagging,

it is possible to naturally define the double eyelid line

with a non-incisional approach

and, by turning the eyelid over and through the conjunctiva,

tie the Mueller muscle to perform ptosis correction at the same time.

For cases with significant skin sagging,

where skin needs to be removed,

or where there is a lot of fat on the upper eyelid

and thick tissue that needs to be reduced,

ptosis correction can be performed

by doing incisional double eyelid surgery

and pulling the levator muscle.

Cases where 'fat repositioning downward' is needed during double eyelid surgery

Each person has a different eye shape.

Some people have a lot of fat

and thick upper eyelids,

while others have little fat,

so the upper eyelid looks sunken,

with the bony contours around the eyes

showing through as they are.

When the area above the eyes is sunken like this,

the double eyelid line can also become less distinct,

making the overall appearance look tired

and older.

For these people, while undergoing Gangnam double eyelid surgery,

a procedure that moves orbital fat downward

at the same time can be effective.

What is 'fat repositioning downward'?

Fat repositioning downward is a procedure in which

orbital fat that has been pulled backward

is carefully separated from the surrounding tissue

and brought forward again.

To locate and bring out the orbital fat,

the skin must be incised and the surgeon must go in to find it,

so it cannot be done during non-incisional double eyelid surgery;

it is only possible through incisional double eyelid surgery.

Cases where 'fat removal' is needed during double eyelid surgery

Simply put,

double eyelids form when, as the eyes open,

part of the eyelid skin is pulled along with them.

When there is a lot of fat on the upper eyelid,

even if a double eyelid is forced to form,

the crease does not form effectively

due to the fat inside.

So when doing Gangnam double eyelid surgery,

if there is a large amount of fat on the upper eyelid,

some of it must be removed.

Fat removal is possible with both

non-incisional double eyelid surgery and incisional double eyelid surgery.

In the case of non-incisional double eyelid surgery,

even though it is called 'non-incisional,'

in fact, about 4 to 5 small openings are made on the upper eyelid,

and the skin is naturally adhered through sutures to create the double eyelid.

Among them, one of the openings is made slightly larger,

so that the upper eyelid fat can be carefully removed

through the small opening.

Patients without skin sagging

who have orbital fat that needs to be removed

are suitable for non-incisional double eyelid fat removal.

However, if there is too much fat

and the eyelids are thick,

depending on the case, the non-incisional method may cause

the double eyelid line to loosen easily,

so we recommend incisional double eyelid surgery

with fat removal at the same time.

Cases where 'fat grafting' is needed during double eyelid surgery

What is 'fat grafting'?

Fat grafting means harvesting your own fat

and injecting it again using a syringe.

Therefore, both non-incisional double eyelid surgery

and incisional double eyelid surgery

can be performed together with fat grafting.

It can be done at the same time as

fat repositioning downward in the upper eyelid,

or separately.

Because it can differ depending on each patient's condition,

it is best to visit a Gangnam double eyelid surgery clinic,

have a direct consultation,

and then make a decision.

Today, I talked about procedures that are good to have together

when doing Gangnam double eyelid surgery.
