Double Eyelid Surgery
Personalized One-on-One Buried, Natural Adhesion, and Incisional Double Eyelid Surgery Tailored to Eyelid Skin Thickness and Orbital Fat
Overview of Double Eyelid Surgery
At Soul Plastic Surgery, Double Eyelid Surgery within our Eye Surgery center is customized by Dr. Su-Jin Eom and Dr. Se-Bin Lee after evaluating upper eyelid skin thickness, orbicularis oculi muscle tone, orbital fat volume, and brow-to-eye distance.
Surgical Methods
| Method | Target Candidates | Key Characteristics |
|---|---|---|
| Buried Suture Method | Thin eyelid skin with minimal fat and no sagging | Creates a crease through micro-punctures without skin incision; minimal swelling and rapid recovery |
| Natural Adhesion Method | Thin-to-moderate skin seeking firmer fixation than traditional buried sutures | Induces natural tissue adhesion between the skin and levator aponeurosis through tiny openings while removing excess fat pads |
| Incisional Method | Thick eyelid skin, redundant sagging skin, or heavy orbital/ROOF fat | Precisely excises excess skin, muscle, and fat along the designed crease line for a crisp, permanent fold |
Custom Crease Line Designs
- In-Line: Starts inside the medial epicanthal fold for a subtle, natural look.
- In-Out Line: Starts gently inside the medial corner and widens toward the outer corner—the most popular balanced design.
- Semi-Out Line: Starts slightly above the medial fold for a bright, glamorous impression.
- Out-Line: Parallel crease sitting above the medial corner for a bold, defined contour.
Operative Information
- Duration: Approximately 30–60 minutes
- Anesthesia: Local anesthesia with brief sedation
- Suture Removal: Post-op Day 3–7 (depending on technique)
