Where Is the Best Place for Double Eyelid Surgery? Dr. Park Si-hyeon Explains <3> Criteria

Where is the best place for double eyelid surgery?

Dr. Park Si-hyeon explains

<3> criteria

Hello,

this is Objet Plastic Surgery.

If you are looking into the best place for double eyelid surgery,

it likely means you have already visited several clinics

or are feeling deeply conflicted.

At first, you may have thought, "Won’t it be enough

just to get double eyelids?"

But once you start looking into it, each clinic says something different,

the surgical methods are different,

and

some places even recommend additional procedures.

Then you may start to wonder,

"What do I really need?"

"Could this be too much?"

Even the people around you may only say things like,

"Just go to a famous place,"

"Go somewhere with lots of reviews,"

which can make things even more confusing.

So today, before choosing the best place for double eyelid surgery,

I’d like to organize the points you should definitely check.

If you read to the end,

you’ll have a clearer idea of what criteria to use

to choose a clinic.

What matters is a design that fits your eye structure

When looking for the best place for double eyelid surgery,

the first thing to check is whether the clinic

properly understands each patient’s eye structure.

Many people already decide on the design they want

before their consultation.

They say things like,

"Please make it semi-out,"

or "Please make it like this celebrity."

Of course, communicating the look you want is important.

But the problem is that no one can guarantee

that design will suit your eyes as well.

Why is that?

Because everyone’s eye length is different,

their skin thickness is different,

and the amount of fat is different as well.

If the structure of your eyes is similar to that of a celebrity you like,

it may be possible to create a similar line.

But if the structure itself is different,

doing surgery with the exact same design can produce a completely different result.

Let me give you an example.

What happens if your eyes are short

and a high crease line is created?

Your eyes may look rounder,

or the result may feel unnatural.

On the other hand, if your eyes are long

and a low crease line is created,

the change may seem barely noticeable.

If you have thicker skin

and undergo a buried suture method,

the line has a higher risk of loosening over time.

If you have thinner skin and undergo incisional surgery,

the scar may be more noticeable.

In the end, what matters is considering both

"the look I want" and

"the design that actually suits my eyes."

That is why the best place for double eyelid surgery

is able to understand the feeling a patient wants

from the photos they show,

while also suggesting a design that can actually be achieved

with that person’s eye structure.

During consultation, try asking questions like these:

"Will this line look natural with my eye length?"

"Will this design last with my skin thickness?"

A clinic that gives specific answers to these questions

is a sign that they are truly looking at the patient’s eyes carefully.

There are different surgical methods depending on the eye condition

Double eyelid surgery is broadly divided into the buried suture method

and the incisional method.

Many people have preconceived notions like,

"Incisional surgery looks unnatural,"

or "The buried suture method is safer."

So they often request the buried suture method

from the start.

But in reality,

it is not that simple.

Incisional surgery is not automatically unnatural.

Depending on the eye structure and the desired design,

incisional surgery can actually create a more natural result.

Why is that?

The buried suture method fixes the line with thread,

so if the skin is thick or there is a lot of fat,

the line is more likely to loosen over time.

The thread has to continuously support the weight of the skin and fat,

and if that force weakens,

the line can become blurry or even disappear.

By contrast, incisional surgery involves making an incision

and then suturing it, so structurally it is more stable.

Even if the skin is thick or there is a lot of fat,

the line can last longer.

Of course, incisional surgery generally requires a longer recovery period,

and swelling may be more pronounced at first.

But that does not mean

the final result will be unnatural.

In fact, if it is performed well to match the skin condition,

it can create a more natural line than the buried suture method.

On the other hand, if a person has thin skin

and little fat,

the buried suture method alone may be enough

to achieve a natural result.

There is no need to go through incisional surgery unnecessarily.

In the end, the important question is not

"Which method is better?"

but rather "Which method suits my eyes?"

The best place for double eyelid surgery

will accurately diagnose the patient’s eye condition

and then suggest the appropriate method.

Rather than saying "always buried suture" or "always incision,"

they explain the basis for why "this method suits this eye."

During consultation, ask like this:

"With my skin thickness, how long will the buried suture method last?"

"If I have incisional surgery, will the scar be noticeable?"

Choose a clinic that gives clear answers to these questions

and honestly explains the pros and cons of each method.

Why are additional procedures recommended?

When people think about double eyelid surgery,

they usually assume,

"Won’t it be enough just to create a double eyelid line?"

But in reality,

there are many cases where double eyelid surgery alone is not enough.

Depending on the eye structure,

you may need other procedures together

to achieve a natural and satisfying result.

A representative case is people with ptosis.

Ptosis refers to a condition where the eyelid droops downward

because the muscle that opens the eye is weak.

What happens if someone like this only gets double eyelid surgery?

A double eyelid line is created,

but because the eye-opening force is weak,

the eyes may still look sleepy

or even appear smaller.

Only the line is made;

the eyes do not open clearly.

In that case, ptosis correction should be done together.

This adjusts the muscles that open the eyes

so the eyes can open larger and more clearly.

On the other hand, what if someone already has strong eye-opening force

but also undergoes ptosis correction?

The eyes may become excessively large,

resulting in an unnatural

or sharp impression.

Another case is people with an epicanthal fold.

An epicanthal fold refers to the fold covering the inner corner

of the eye near the nose.

If this fold is present, the double eyelid line may be covered

at the inner part and look shorter.

In such cases, it is better to perform an inner corner opening procedure together.

Opening the inner corner allows the double eyelid line to extend more smoothly,

creating a more natural curve.

Of course, if the epicanthal fold is not severe

or the inner corners are already open,

an inner corner opening procedure is not necessary.

If it is done unnecessarily,

the result may look excessive.

The same applies to fat removal.

If there is a lot of fat in the eyelid,

the double eyelid line may look thick

or puffy.

In such cases, it is better to remove an appropriate amount of fat.

But if too much is removed,

the eyes may look sunken

or older.

A certain amount of fat is needed

for the eyes to look lively

and natural.

In the end, the key is accurately determining

what is needed and what is not needed

for your eyes.

The best place for double eyelid surgery

carefully examines the patient’s eyes.

They check one by one,

such as eye length, whether there is an epicanthal fold,

the strength of eye opening, and how much fat there is.

Then, based on the results,

they clearly explain,

"This procedure is necessary,

and this procedure is not necessary."

During consultation, try asking:

"Is my condition one that needs ptosis correction? Why is it needed?"

"What would happen if I do not get an inner corner opening procedure?"

"How would I look if I do not remove fat?"

A place that answers these questions with specific reasons

is proof that they truly understand the patient’s eyes.

Today, I organized the three points you should check

when looking for the best place for double eyelid surgery.

Whether they suggest a design that fits your eye structure,

whether they choose a surgical method that matches your eye condition,

and whether they accurately judge the necessary combined procedures.

Dr. Park Si-hyeon of Objet Plastic Surgery

uses rich clinical experience accumulated in double eyelid surgery

to perform customized surgery that fits the patient’s eye structure and condition.

During consultation as well, rather than simply deciding on a line,

the doctor considers both the patient’s desired feeling

and eye structure,

and has a gentle, friendly consultation style when explaining things.
