Embedded Double Eyelid Surgery Photo Review - 1-Week Recovery Process

The most common cosmetic surgery in Korea is undoubtedly double eyelid surgery.

As a joke, there is even a saying that no matter how many double eyelid surgeries plastic surgeons perform, the condition keeps coming back.

double eyelid surgery is such a common eye surgery.

There are countless surgical methods for double eyelid surgery, but they can generally be divided into two major types.

#embedded double eyelid surgery #incisional double eyelid surgery

There are also methods such as natural adhesion and partial incision, but in the end, they come down to those two methods.

The feature of the #embedded method is that, when creating a natural-looking line, no incision is made, so the recovery period is short.

The downside of the embedded method is that, over time, it can turn into an inner double eyelid and, depending on the person, it may come undone.

Features of embedded double eyelid surgery

1. The recovery period is short.

2. It may come undone.

Having thick eyelids does not automatically mean the embedded method cannot be done.

If you want a small, natural inner double eyelid, it is entirely possible to create one with the embedded method.

Before surgery, the left eye (the one with the mole on the upper eyelid) had a slightly larger natural double eyelid than the right eye, but

in such cases, there may be insufficient eyelid-opening strength in that eye, so it must be carefully examined whether non-incisional eyelid correction is needed.

As expected, after doing only the #embedded double eyelid surgery, the left eye did not open as well, so non-incisional eyelid correction was performed at the same time.

Right after surgery, there is swelling, so it may look like the eye does not open as well, but once the swelling goes down, the eye will open properly.

The mole around the eye was also removed.

The swelling from the embedded method definitely goes down quickly. It has only been 2 days, but there is no major post-surgery swelling.

In the photo with the eyes closed, even though this is the embedded double eyelid method, the line looks like an incisional scar because the embedded thread is pulling the skin inward toward the tarsal plate.

That is why the skin and tarsal plate adhere to form the double eyelid line.

Principle of embedded double eyelid surgery

The embedded thread creates adhesion between the outer skin and the tarsal plate connected to the eyelid-opening muscle

After about a week, the swelling goes down a lot, but a little residual swelling still remains.

Once the swelling is gone, the eyes definitely look much clearer.

As explained above, even with the embedded method, when you close your eyes, the double eyelid line remains like a scar.

To put it another way, if a line remains when the eyes are closed, it means the tissue between the skin and the tarsal plate has not come undone and is well adhered.

If, after the embedded procedure, such an adhesion line is not visible when the eyes are closed, you should carefully check whether the double eyelid has come undone.

This means the adhesion is intact and well maintained!
