Double-Eyelid Surgery: How to Get It Right the First Time?!

Double-eyelid surgery is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures—so popular that there is even a joke that it is practically a routine treatment.

The size and appearance of the eyes can be changed through double-eyelid surgery alone.

As it is performed using a relatively simple method rather than shaving bone or inserting implants, it is a less burdensome procedure. Since the eyes are a prominent feature people look at when facing one another and an important area that determines first impressions, many people who are dissatisfied with the shape of their eyes or have appearance-related concerns because of small eyes are improving their image through double-eyelid surgery, believing that larger eyes can create a more positive impression.

To achieve a satisfactory result from your first surgery, you should have sufficient consultation with a medical professional specializing in eye surgery who has experience with a wide range of cases.

Rather than simply making the eyes larger, the procedure should be customized after carefully considering various factors, including your overall impression, eye shape, harmony with other facial features, and distinctive characteristics, in order to achieve a result with a high level of satisfaction.

Depending on the starting point and height of the crease, double-eyelid lines are classified as an inner line, an in-out line, or an outer line.

Each type can create a different impression. Let us take a closer look at the various double-eyelid lines and surgical methods 🥰

DM Plastic Surgery’s Three-Step Approach, Prioritizing Each Client’s Needs

DM Plastic Surgery provides thorough consultations with experienced specialists and considers the balance and harmony of the entire face.

By reflecting each individual’s preferences and selecting the most appropriate surgical method and shape, the clinic provides a high level of satisfaction.

We establish a customized surgical plan through a precise diagnosis by a board-certified plastic surgeon, considering the presence or absence of ptosis, the shape of the epicanthal fold, the angle of the outer corners of the eyes, skin laxity, the distance between the eyes, and the presence or absence of strabismus.

Introducing Four Representative Lines!

The overall image and mood of the face are greatly influenced by the shape and line of the double eyelid.

It is important to choose a double-eyelid line that harmonizes well with your face.

An inner line is partially covered near the inner corner, where the double-eyelid line begins. It is thin and defined, creating a pure and cute impression.

An outer line begins above the inner corner of the eye. This distinct, exotic-looking double-eyelid line creates a glamorous impression.

An in-out line is an intermediate form between an inner line and an outer line. The line gradually becomes higher from the front toward the back and is a double-eyelid line suited to East Asian features.

A semi-out line is lower and smaller in shape than an outer line, making it natural and less overwhelming while still creating a glamorous impression.

The most important thing is to decide on an eye shape that best suits your preferences and eye condition with the help of a board-certified plastic surgeon. DM Plastic Surgery always puts each client’s needs first.

DM Plastic Surgery’s Double-Eyelid Surgical Methods and Lines

Through sufficient consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon, we create natural and attractive eyes that suit you best.

DM Plastic Surgery offers three surgical methods: the suture method, partial-incision method, and full-incision method.

The suture method is performed without an incision, leaving no scar and eliminating the need for stitch removal.

By forming the double-eyelid line using only the tension of fixation sutures, without the incision and tissue-adhesion processes, it generally causes less swelling and allows faster recovery than the full-incision method, creating a natural result.

The suture method is performed without an incision, so it is recommended for people with thin eyelids and little fat, those without significant skin laxity, those who want a natural-looking eye shape, and those who find an incision-based method burdensome.

The partial-incision method combines the natural appearance of the suture method with the defined benefits of the full-incision method.

It is performed through small incisions of less than 2–3 mm. This allows a double-eyelid line to be created similarly to the suture method while also allowing fat removal. Because the incisions are very small, there is less concern about scarring and a lower possibility of the crease loosening.

The partial-incision method is suitable for people with a large amount of fat or muscle who may find a full incision difficult, those whose double-eyelid crease has loosened after the suture method, and those who want to remove eyelid fat. It is also recommended for people concerned about scarring and swelling.

The full-incision method involves making an incision along the double-eyelid line. It is suitable for people with sagging eyelids or those who need excess fat or skin removed, as well as for correcting ptosis. It can create a more defined double-eyelid line than the suture method.

This method is recommended for people with thick eyelids and a large amount of muscle and fat, those who want larger eyes with a crease that is less likely to loosen, and those with significant skin laxity.
