Looking at the Various Methods of Double Eyelid Surgery

Features such as the eyes, nose, and mouth, as well as facial proportions, vary from person to person,

and they play a role in influencing a person’s overall mood and impression.

Among the facial features that make up the face, the eye shape is a part that determines things like expression and

impression. So if someone feels that theirs is somewhat plain or that improvement is needed, they may consider double eyelid surgery.

The basic principle of double eyelid surgery is to create a line on the eyelid to make the eyes look larger.

There are several types of line shapes, including in-line and out-line.

Rather than simply choosing an eye shape that is big and pretty,

it is important to choose the most suitable method so that it harmonizes with one’s face.

Even if the eyes are simply big and pretty, if they have a shape that is contrary to one’s own image,

it can instead leave a burdensome and artificial impression.

First, double eyelid surgery can be divided into incisional and non-incisional methods.

In the former, the skin is incised to remove unnecessary internal fat or

muscle, with the goal of improving the eyes into a clearer shape.

If the skin is relatively sagging, or if the fat layer and eyelids are comparatively thick and need correction,

or if the eyes need to be enlarged for the purpose of strengthening the levator muscle,

this method can be applied.

Before surgery, the process begins by planning a line at an appropriate height and shape according to facial balance.

During the procedure, after the skin is incised, unnecessary fat and muscle are removed,

and the incision is sutured closed to complete the process and form a clear eye shape.

Because it is also a method that firmly corrects sagging eyelids, it has a principle that can also

help improve ptosis, and since the incision area is relatively small,

concerns about postoperative swelling can be reduced.

The partial-incision method of double eyelid surgery is, as the name suggests, performed partially.

Through a tiny incision of about 3 mm, eyelid fat is treated or

adhesion is created to form a buried-suture-style line on the inner and outer sides.

If the line is not smooth due to fat or muscle around the eyelid, or if you want a double eyelid line that feels

natural and not burdensome, this method of double eyelid surgery can be considered.

Sometimes, excessive fat around the eyes can make the eyes appear puffy.

In such cases, using a partial incision to reduce the puffy appearance of the eyes can help address issues

related to the line loosening later on.

The surgical process involves making an incision of about 1 to 1.5 cm near the middle of the eye,

carefully connecting the levator muscle and the eyelid skin, and then suturing to finish.

In cases performed with the buried-suture method, depending on the individual,

there is also a relatively higher possibility that the line may loosen easily. If this is a concern,

double eyelid surgery through natural adhesion may be an appropriate alternative.

Natural adhesion compensates for the shortcomings of the existing buried-suture and incisional methods,

relatively lowering the chance of loosening, and because it is a procedure performed through micro-holes,

the likelihood of leaving a scar later on can also be significantly reduced.

In particular, if you feel burdened by surgical methods involving incisions,

or if you are concerned about scarring and swelling afterward, natural adhesion may be worth considering.

In addition, natural adhesion can also be applied when the eyelid skin is thin or the degree of sagging is mild.

The natural adhesion double eyelid surgery process follows the same overall flow as other methods: after designing a double eyelid line appropriate to the overall facial balance,

a micro-hole is created, fat is removed, and the inside and outside of the eyelid are firmly connected with thread to complete the procedure.

Another advantage of this double eyelid surgery is that, because natural adhesion is encouraged through micro-holes,

the knot thread and scars are barely visible.

Therefore, it can be especially advantageous for busy office workers and students.

However, before undergoing the procedure, it is advisable to determine the method most suitable for you based on a one-on-one consultation and examination with medical staff who have long clinical experience and extensive expertise.

At our clinic, our medical staff, who have encountered a variety of cases and possess numerous treatment examples,

are focused on finding alternatives that fully consider each person’s different eye structure and the overall proportions of the facial features,

so as to achieve ideal results.

Along with this, we carefully design the procedure so that individual weaknesses can be improved and strengths can be highlighted,

making it an efficient form of care.

Even in aftercare, the same medical staff stay with you to the end,

so the postoperative progress can be monitored thoroughly.

Immediately after surgery, you should not touch the surgical area, and for about two weeks,

it is important to avoid lying face down to prevent the sutures from coming loose.

You should refrain from taking medications other than those prescribed by the medical staff,

and you should follow the proper method of applying compresses.

At this time, it is good to use ice compresses for about 3 to 4 days, and after that, warm compresses,

to help promote smooth blood circulation.

Above all, wearing contact lenses is not recommended because they may touch the eyes during the process,

and alcohol consumption and smoking, which can cause various side effects and inflammation,

should also be avoided for a while.

If you pay close attention not only to the surgery itself but also to daily care,

you can achieve a faster recovery while also seeing changes in your eyes that suit your needs.

We hope you will refer to what has been discussed so far and improve with the option that is right for you.
