Eyelid Surgery: Improving Your Impression with the Right Method for You

<Real eye plastic surgery case at DM Plastic Surgery>

Eyelid surgery is one of the most common cosmetic procedures, to the point that people jokingly call it “just a procedure.”

Even eyelid surgery alone can change the size or image of the eyes.

Because it is performed through a relatively simple method, rather than shaving bone or inserting implants,

it is a less burdensome surgery. Since the eyes are the area people face directly and are an important part of determining first impressions,

many people who feel dissatisfied with their eye shape or have an appearance-related complex due to small eyes are improving their image through eyelid surgery,

thinking that having larger eyes can create a more positive impression.

To achieve satisfying results from the first surgery, it is important to have sufficient consultation with eye plastic surgery specialists with experience in a variety of cases, and not simply enlarge the eyes.

A customized approach should be taken by carefully considering the individual's overall impression, eye shape, harmony with other facial features, appearance characteristics, and other details to achieve highly satisfying results.

Depending on the starting point and height, it is classified into in-line, in-out line, and out line types,

and each type can express a different feeling. Let’s take a closer look at the various eyelid line types and surgical methods 🥰

The three-step approach at DM Plastic Surgery, where customer needs come first

DM Plastic Surgery achieves high satisfaction by selecting the most appropriate surgical method and shape that reflect each person’s preferences, while considering the balance and harmony of the entire face through thorough consultation with specialists with extensive clinical experience.

We establish a customized surgical plan through a detailed diagnosis by a board-certified plastic surgeon, considering the presence or absence of ptosis, the shape of the epicanthic fold, the angle of the outer corner of the eye, skin sagging, the distance between the eyes, and whether strabismus is present.

Introducing the four representative line types!

The shape and line of the double eyelids greatly influence the overall image and mood of the face. It is important to choose a double eyelid line that harmonizes well with your face.

An in-line has part of the inner eye area covered at the starting point of the double eyelid, creating a thin and defined line that gives a pure and cute impression. An out line starts above the inner corner of the eye and is a more exotic double eyelid line that is clearly defined and gives a glamorous impression. An in-out line is a middle form between an in-line and an out line, with the double eyelid line gradually becoming higher from the inner line to the outer line, making it suitable for East Asians. A semi-out line is lower in height and smaller in shape than an out line, making it natural and 부담스럽지 않으면서도 화려한 느낌을 주는 라인입니다.

With the help of a plastic surgery specialist, deciding on the eye shape that best matches your preferences and eye condition is most important, and DM Plastic Surgery always puts customer needs first.

DM Plastic Surgery’s double eyelid surgery methods and lines

Through sufficient consultation with a plastic surgery specialist, we complete natural and beautiful eyes that suit you best. DM Plastic Surgery performs surgery using three methods: the buried suture method, the partial incision method, and the incision method.

The buried suture method is performed without an incision, so no scar remains and stitch removal is not necessary. By omitting the incision and tissue adhesion process and forming the double eyelid line only with the strength of the fixation suture, it has less swelling than the incision method and recovers faster, making it a natural type of surgery.

Since the buried suture method is performed without an incision, it is recommended for people with thin eyelids and little fat, people whose skin is not very saggy, people who want a natural eye shape, and people who feel burdened by an incision-based method.

The partial incision method combines the naturalness of the buried suture method with the clear advantages of the incision method. It is performed through a small incision of less than 2–3 mm in the skin, creating a double eyelid like the buried suture method while also allowing fat removal. With the micro-incision, there is less concern about scarring, and the chance of the line loosening is also low.

The partial incision method is suitable for people with a lot of fat or muscle, making incision difficult, people whose double eyelids loosened after the buried suture method, or people who want to remove eyelid fat. It is also recommended for those concerned about scarring and swelling.

The incision method involves making an incision in the skin along the double eyelid line. It is suitable for people with sagging eyelids or those who need fat or skin removed, and it is also a suitable line for ptosis correction, allowing for a clearer double eyelid line than the buried suture method.

It is recommended for people with thick eyelids and a lot of muscle and fat, people who want larger eyes with a line that will not loosen, and people with significant skin sagging.
