What kind of double eyelid suits me?
Before surgery, you need to determine which line suits you through a consultation.
Because everyone’s eye shape and size are different,
it is important to create a double eyelid line that suits you.
What is an in-fold double eyelid?
An in-fold double eyelid refers to a double eyelid whose line disappears toward the inner side of the eye.
This type is formed in eye shapes with a short horizontal length or with an epicanthal fold at the inner corner.
Therefore, if the line is made too much in-fold, it may sometimes be designed closer to an outer fold artificially, but an artificial line can in turn create an awkward appearance.
What is an outer-fold double eyelid?
An outer-fold double eyelid refers to a double eyelid in which the crease is visible all the way to the inner corner of the eye.
This type is formed in eyes without an epicanthal fold and with a long horizontal length.
It is also more likely to be created when the line is designed larger during surgery.
What is a hidden double eyelid?
It refers to a double eyelid with a small line that is hardly visible when looking straight ahead.
In general, this hidden double eyelid suits people with thick skin or large eyes.
It is suitable for those who want a natural double eyelid line that does not stand out.
What is an exposed double eyelid?
It refers to a double eyelid with a large crease that is clearly visible when looking straight ahead.
In most cases, a crease that is too clearly visible is not considered desirable from today’s perspective.
An overly large double eyelid line can even lead to the need for revision surgery.
What is the double eyelid line that suits me?
Before surgery, to find a suitable double eyelid line, it is important to temporarily create a crease using a wire called an "eye form."
Since each person has a different eye shape, it is important to first make a temporary crease and find the line that you like best and the line that forms most naturally.
If you find the desired crease line, mark that position and proceed with surgery, you can obtain almost the exact line you wanted.
What is partial incision method - quick double eyelid surgery?
It is a surgery that allows immediate return to daily life after surgery,
with minimal incision and minimal swelling.
Our quick double eyelid procedure is performed using a minimally invasive partial incision method,
and because skin suturing is not required, daily activities are possible,
with almost no swelling immediately after surgery and a natural result.
It also has the advantage of being less likely to come undone.
What are the four principles of partial incision method - quick double eyelid surgery?
| 01. Swelling must be kept to a minimum! Quick double eyelid surgery is one of the methods that causes the least swelling of any approach. |
|---|
| 02. The double eyelid line must not come undone! By removing the orbicularis oculi muscle and orbital fat, the double eyelid line is less likely to loosen. |
| 03. Scarring must be minimized! With a minimal 2 mm incision, scarring is almost absent. |
| 04. The double eyelid line must look natural. By creating the crease line in advance while sitting, the most natural double eyelid line is identified and used for surgery. |
Comparison between partial incision method - quick double eyelid surgery and buried suture method
| | Partial incision method - Quick double eyelid | Buried suture method |
|---|---|---|
| Use of thread | Absorbable thread | Non-absorbable thread |
| Degree of incision | About 2 mm, 3 incision points | About 2 mm, 3 incision points |
| Postoperative swelling | Slight | Slight |
| Degree of loosening | Almost never comes undone | High frequency of loosening or thinning |
| Line clarity | Maintains the same clarity as incision method | Often comes undone or is not clearly defined |
| Fat removal | Possible | Not possible |
| Removal of stitches | Not necessary. Can be removed if desired | Impossible or very difficult |
| Scarring | Almost none | Almost none |
Why does swelling not occur after partial incision method - quick double eyelid surgery at our clinic?
Swelling occurs when exudate produced by surgery accumulates within the tissue.
The reason partial incision method - quick double eyelid surgery causes almost no swelling is that the swelling-causing tissue, the orbicularis oculi muscle and fatty tissue, are removed through micro-incisions, and the exudate produced by surgery is immediately drained through the micro-incision sites, leaving little room for swelling to develop.
For example, it is similar to how a bruise without a cut swells, while a cut wound hardly swells.
A bruise without a cut swells because exudate forms inside and cannot drain, so it accumulates, whereas a cut wound does not swell because the exudate drains out immediately.
Frequently asked Q&A about partial incision method - quick double eyelid surgery
Q. What is the biggest difference between partial incision method - quick double eyelid surgery and the buried suture method?
A. Partial incision method - quick double eyelid surgery is a method designed to obtain the advantage of the incision method, which is less likely to come undone.
A simple buried suture method creates the double eyelid line by simply embedding the thread, so if the skin is thick or there is a lot of muscle and fat, it can loosen easily.
Partial incision method - quick double eyelid surgery has several advantages, including the ability to remove orbital fat, minimal scarring, and strong resistance to loosening.
Q. Does partial incision method - quick double eyelid surgery leave scars?
A. Like the buried suture method, it leaves almost no scars.
The period for a scar to settle is usually after 3 months.
Before 3 months, the erythema phase remains and the scar is still developing, so a slight visible scar may appear up to 3 to 4 months, but after 3 to 6 months the scar is hardly visible.
Q. How much swelling and bruising occur after partial incision method - quick double eyelid surgery?
A. There is almost no swelling or bruising, so it is possible to return to daily life immediately.
Even if a small amount of bruising occurs depending on the individual, it is not very noticeable and almost disappears in about a week.
Q. When can washing the face and makeup be resumed after partial incision method - quick double eyelid surgery?
A. Washing the face and applying makeup are possible starting the day after surgery.
After washing the face, apply the disinfectant and ointment prescribed by the hospital, then you can do your makeup.
Examples of applying the partial incision method - quick double eyelid surgery
What is the partial incision method - quick double eyelid surgery at our clinic?
Instead of pure buried suture surgery, we create a natural and beautiful double eyelid line with partial incision method - quick double eyelid surgery.
The difference is that the buried suture method has the drawback of being prone to loosening, so we supplement it by performing the procedure with the partial incision method.
By making the partial incision only about 2 mm, we differentiated it from other partial incision methods.
This is a method that uses very small incisions of about 2 mm in each area, making it as natural as the buried suture method and allowing immediate return to daily life, with almost no swelling being the usual course.
In addition, almost no scars remain.
If there is a lot of fat, fat removal is also possible.
With the buried suture method, if swelling occurs, there is no route for tissue exudate to drain, so for people who swell a lot, the swelling can be as severe as with the incision method.
Because tissue exudate drains directly through the incision openings, swelling and bruising are far less than with any other method, which is a major advantage.
It also has the advantage of being less likely to come undone, like the incision method.
What is the partial incision method?
This is a surgical method used to restore a blurred crease back to its original clear line.
It can also slightly enlarge a small double eyelid line.
In most cases, the design is made along the existing scar line.
Sometimes it is designed according to the height and shape the patient wants, or the surgeon determines the most suitable line and designs it accordingly.
Also, depending on whether it will be an outer fold or an in-fold, the direction of the design line changes.
The locations are lightly marked on the inner, middle, and outer parts.
The local anesthetic is administered in the smallest possible amount to prevent swelling as much as possible.
If the incision is made too large, a lot of scarring will remain, so the surgery is performed with the smallest possible incision to leave almost no scar.
The orbicularis oculi muscle is the muscle layer covering the eyelid, and because it interferes with crease formation, it must be removed so that the double eyelid line does not loosen.
Along with removing the orbicularis oculi muscle, the pre-tarsal fat beneath the muscle layer is also removed.
Fat removal is mainly done from the outer side.
Excessive fat removal can cause a hollowing of the eyelid, so it is better to remove only as much as protrudes.
If hemostasis is not performed properly, orbital bleeding may occur, which can worsen bruising and swelling, so it is important to control bleeding well.
Face washing and makeup are possible starting the next day.
Apply cold compresses with the cool pack provided by the hospital for 3 days.
If cold compresses are done for more than 3 days, the swelling will not go down further, so it is best to do it only for exactly 3 days.
