To Reduce Side Effects of Double Eyelid Surgery at a Yongsan Plastic Surgery Clinic

Hello.

This is MUTOEL Plastic Surgery.

What is the most widely known type of plastic surgery?

In my opinion, I think most people are familiar with eye surgery, especially double eyelid surgery.

It is often said to be one of those things that “everyone gets when they go to college,” and while it has become very common these days, it is still one of the most important and influential surgeries because it can change the overall impression of the face.

It does not simply make the eyes look bigger, but can also create a clearer and more defined impression, which is why many people choose it. However, it is most important to fully understand which method is right for you and what to pay attention to after surgery before making a decision.

That is why today, at MUTOEL, we will take a closer look at double eyelid surgery, the highlight of eye plastic surgery at a Yongsan plastic surgery clinic.

What types are there?

1. Incisional method

The incisional method creates the desired line by making an incision along the double eyelid line. It is suitable for people with thicker skin, fat, or muscle, or for those with drooping.

It also has the advantage of being able to remove or reposition fat in the eyelid area through the incision, making it possible to produce results that are relatively firm and long-lasting.

However, the recovery period is relatively long, and bruising and swelling tend to last longer, so it is advisable to secure enough time for rest.

2. Non-incisional method (buried suture method)

Since this method does not involve an incision and fixes the eyelid only with sutures, the biggest advantages are less concern about scarring and faster recovery.

It is mainly recommended for eyes with thin, elastic skin, and is one of the Yongsan plastic surgery eye procedures often chosen by people who are undergoing surgery for the first time or who want a natural look.

However, over time, there is a possibility that the double eyelid line may loosen, and in some cases repeated revision surgery may be necessary.

Please note that durability can vary depending on each person’s condition.

3. Partial incision method

This can be described as a middle ground between the incisional and buried suture methods. It involves making a partial incision only in the necessary area to remove fat, while the rest is fixed with sutures.

Because it leaves relatively little scarring and offers good durability, it has recently become one of the more preferred methods. In particular, when there is a certain amount of fat in the eyelid area, the buried suture method may not produce satisfying results, so many people choose this approach.

I want to combine it with another procedure.

In the case of eye plastic surgery at a Yongsan plastic surgery clinic, depending on the need, it may also be performed together with other procedures or surgeries.

For example, if the eyes appear narrow or if the epicanthic folds are pronounced, procedures such as canthoplasty at the inner or outer corners of the eyes may be performed together.

In such cases, the eyes often appear much more open and elongated, which can lead to higher satisfaction.

However, because scar management is important in canthoplasty, it is most important to have the procedure performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience and high expertise.

In addition, many people undergo it together with youthful-looking facial procedures or with semi-permanent makeup.

What kind of side effects are there?

Swelling and bruising after surgery are natural phenomena that occur in most patients, but in some cases, a few side effects may arise.

A representative side effect is asymmetry. This refers to a situation where the height or width of the two eyes looks different. In most cases, it naturally becomes even as the swelling subsides, but if it is caused by differences in the fixation position or muscle, revision surgery may be necessary.

A double eyelid that forms too thickly or looks artificial can also sometimes occur. Over time, it may become more natural, but line adjustment may be needed.

Reduced sensation or a pulling feeling can also occur temporarily after incisional surgery. Most cases recover, but if these side effects persist, please be sure to visit the clinic, receive a diagnosis, and then proceed with aftercare.

Inflammation around the stitches or scarring can also occasionally be a problem. For such side effects, it is good to keep the surgical area clean and to use ointments such as silicone gel products or Kelocote to help prevent scarring.

Which surgical method is right for me?

Eye plastic surgery at a Yongsan plastic surgery clinic is not simply about creating a pretty line.

It is necessary to examine and diagnose a person’s eye structure, skin condition, amount of fat, and the strength of eyelid opening from various perspectives to find the most suitable method for each individual.

In addition, the design should be carefully planned one by one so that it harmonizes with the overall facial image.

After sufficient consultation and simulation with a skilled board-certified plastic surgeon, and after checking various cases, choosing a hospital and doctor that can respond appropriately is the way to achieve the most satisfying and safe results. Ending Thoughts...

Although it is a representative eye surgery chosen by many people, it still requires careful consideration.

Only by understanding each method accurately and choosing the one that fits your condition and goals can you obtain natural and satisfying results for a long time.

Rather than simply following a “popular method,” I would like to say that the goal should be to find “an eye shape that suits me.”

Above all, the most important thing is to work with a safe and experienced board-certified plastic surgeon. Please keep that in mind.

That is all for today’s article, and at MUTOEL Plastic Surgery, we will support your journey toward more beautiful eyes.

Thank you.
