"Which is better, incision or non-incision?"
"I’m not sure whether just a double eyelid surgery is enough, or if I should also get canthoplasty or ptosis correction."
When people come in for a double eyelid surgery consultation, many first ask, "Which method is the most popular?"
But in reality, what matters more than trends is what suits your own eyes.
The thickness of the skin, the amount of fat, the strength of eyelid opening, the length of the inner and outer corners of the eyes, and the left-right balance all differ, so even the same double eyelid surgery can take a different direction.
So today, MOOi Plastic Surgery, which pursues one-of-a-kind beauty,
will naturally walk you through the key points, including what customized eye surgery means, how incision and non-incision differ, and in what cases canthoplasty or ptosis correction may be needed together.

Canthoplasty, ptosis correction, and incision methods: the important point is not a single formula, but a design that fits your eye structure
Why is customized design important?
Eye surgery is not simply a procedure that creates a line.
Even with the same in-line double eyelid, some people may look more defined while others may look tight or heavy.
The reason is that conditions such as eyelid skin state, eyelid-opening strength, degree of epicanthic fold, and the distance from the eyebrows all differ.
At MOOi Plastic Surgery, customized eye surgery is closer to "making it suit you" than to "making it bigger."
Rather than simply finding a pretty line when looking only at the eyes,
it is a process of finding the most natural-looking eyes within the overall proportions of the face.

Introducing MOOi Plastic Surgery’s customized eye surgery for a natural and lively look: aiming for results that consider functional and aesthetic balance
Incision double eyelid surgery may be more suitable in these cases
The cases where the incision method may be more appropriate are
-
when thick skin or sagging skin also needs to be addressed,
-
when there is a lot of fat, which may make it harder to maintain the line
It has the advantage of stabilizing the line while appropriately removing the necessary tissue.
Of course, just because it is called an incision method, there is no need to assume it will inevitably look very obvious.
The impression of the actual result is influenced more by "incision or non-incision" alone,
and much more by how moderately the design is made and how much is treated only as needed.

Incision method: after pre-surgery design, the necessary tissue is organized, the line is fixed, and then suturing is performed (infographic of the incision double eyelid surgery process: design, tissue arrangement, line fixation, suturing)
Non-incision double eyelid surgery: for those who want a natural line
The non-incision method is relatively suitable for people with thinner skin, no major sagging, and a preference for a natural-looking line.
Its advantage is that it can create a clear change while reducing the burden of recovery.
However, non-incision surgery is not applied in the same way for everyone.
Depending on whether the eye has weak line maintenance, a lot of fat, or needs support for eyelid-opening strength,
the fixation points or whether additional correction is needed may differ.

Non-incision method: fixing points according to the design, adding ptosis correction and fat removal to induce natural adhesion (infographic of the non-incision double eyelid process: point fixation, ptosis correction, fat removal, adhesion induction)
If double eyelid surgery alone is not enough, canthoplasty and ptosis correction should also be considered
One thing many people unexpectedly overlook during consultations is the concept of combination.
There are definitely eyes for which creating only a line will not produce the desired impression.
Cases where the desired impression cannot be achieved with the double eyelid line alone
• If the inner corner of the eye is blocked and looks cramped, the direction of canthoplasty may need to be considered together.
• If the eyes look sleepy or if the amount of visible black of the eye is small, evaluation for ptosis correction may be needed.
• If there is a difference between the left and right sides, overall balance design is more important than simply matching only one side’s line.
In other words, customized eye surgery is not just the process of choosing between incision and non-incision,
but rather the process of finding out what should be done alone and what should be done together among double eyelid surgery, canthoplasty, and ptosis correction so the result looks natural.
The recovery process is just as important as the surgery: the recovery program
Creating a double eyelid line that is beautiful and suits your eyes is important,
but managing the recovery process so that the line settles in stably is also very important.
In the early stage of recovery, swelling and left-right differences can appear more noticeable and make you anxious,
and how follow-up is checked and what care is provided at that time has a big impact on satisfaction.
MOOi Plastic Surgery also pays attention to care after surgery.
Rather than ending with the surgery alone,
it aims to help patients naturally transition back to daily life through aftercare and recovery programs according to the clinic’s policy.
What is MOOi Plastic Surgery’s incision recovery program?
-
MOOi A/S policy: If the eye surgery opens up after surgery, free A/S is provided
-
Regenerative laser: Laser care provided to help fast regeneration by easing pain and inflammation and reducing swelling
-
Swelling injection: Swelling relief through a swelling injection containing anti-inflammatory ingredients and ingredients that help blood circulation

After surgery, processes that help recovery are also important, such as follow-up checks, aftercare according to the clinic’s policy, regenerative care, and swelling-relief programs (aftercare policy, regenerative laser, swelling care provided)
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. Which is more natural, incision or non-incision?
A. The method itself does not determine naturalness.
The result is most natural when the method is chosen to suit your eye conditions.
Q. Do I have to get canthoplasty as well?
A. No.
However, if the inner or outer corner of the eye is restricted and a line alone has limitations,
it may be more suitable to consider it together.
Q. Is ptosis correction only for when eyelid-opening strength is weak?
A. Basically, functional evaluation comes first.
It is important to decide after checking whether clear exposure of the pupil is needed and whether there is an actual tendency toward ptosis.
Q. Will it look natural and like my own eyes right after surgery?
A. In the early stage, there may be swelling and some awkwardness.
As recovery progresses, it gradually settles, so it is better not to judge based only on the very early appearance.
To summarize
• The key to customized eye surgery is to look at the structure of your eyes first, not trends.
• Incision may suit eyes that need tissue organization and line stability, while non-incision may suit eyes that want a natural line.
• Canthoplasty and ptosis correction are not "extra options"; when needed, they can be key elements that complete the result.
• The final impression becomes more natural when recovery care after surgery is also planned together.
Eye surgery is not a procedure that copies the same line,
but a process of finding the eye shape that suits your face best.
If you want a look that is not excessive and is natural, yet clearly lively and balanced,
we recommend finding a place that creates natural results while considering both functional and aesthetic balance.
