Hello,
this is VN Plastic Surgery.
Double eyelid surgery is a cosmetic procedure chosen by many people. Compared with other surgeries, it is an effective method that can make the eyes more attractive through a relatively simple procedure!
However,
if proper care is not taken after surgery,
side effects may occur, and
the eye shape may become unsatisfactory.
Today,
we will explain the main double eyelid
surgical methods and
how to prevent side effects
from double eyelid surgery.

Surgical planning should be based on the original size and shape of the eyes, facial features, and other factors so that the procedure can enhance each person’s individuality and attractiveness.
In the past,
double eyelid surgery was mainly performed using the incision method,
but recently,
in addition to the buried suture method
and the incision method,
there are various other techniques, so the type of surgery must also be chosen carefully.
Double eyelid surgery is broadly divided into two methods.
The buried suture method creates natural-looking double eyelids through adhesion and knotting with threads.
The incision method creates the double eyelid line after removing unnecessary muscle and fat.

Which method is best suited to my eyes?
The buried suture method does not involve cutting the skin and fixes the eyelid with threads, so its advantages are natural results and a faster recovery. It is suitable for eyes with thin eyelid skin, little sagging, and not much fat.

The incision method is a surgical option suitable for eyes with a lot of fat in the eyelids or a thick muscle layer.
It is also effective for eyes with weak eyelid-opening muscles and significant sagging.
If you choose the desired shape and size, there is no concern about the line coming undone, allowing for a clear and defined eye shape.
Depending on the method, such as the buried suture method or the incision method, differences may appear in scars, bruising, swelling, and whether the line loosens, and the surgical method may vary depending on the patient’s eye condition.

Double eyelid surgery is a common cosmetic procedure in Korea, but at the same time, it is also a surgery with a high rate of revision due to side effects or dissatisfaction.
In particular, the first double eyelid surgery is often decided hastily, as it is sometimes performed in the teenage years for some people. However, just as each person’s appearance is different, the direction of eye improvement and the surgical method also vary from person to person. Therefore, after carefully considering your face shape, eye shape, eye size and length, muscle and fat volume, and other factors, you should decide on the design that suits you best.
Because the results can vary depending on the surgical method and design, VN Plastic Surgery considers the condition of the eyes and overall harmony to complete the eye shape that suits each individual best with the most appropriate surgical method.

Before surgery, choosing the hospital is important, but after surgery, carefully listening to the medical staff’s instructions, understanding them thoroughly, and following them is also an important part of achieving successful results.
Inflammation may occur due to a bacterial infection, the eyes may look swollen like sausage eyes, the double eyelid line may loosen again, or scars may remain.
To prevent these side effects in advance,
after double eyelid surgery:
- Do not squint or close your eyes tightly
- Use ophthalmic ointment on the wound area
- Keep water from touching the wound area
- Do not drink alcohol or smoke
- Avoid strenuous exercise for one month
- Apply cold compresses using an ice pack
If you follow these precautions, you can help prevent side effects and see a beautiful double eyelid line.

We will continue striving to deliver better results and satisfaction through customized surgical methods.
