Criteria for Choosing Non-Incisional Double Eyelid Surgery

Hello, this is Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery.
Double eyelid surgery is one of the cosmetic procedures that improves the size and shape of the eyes, aiming for a clearer and brighter impression. Among these options, non-incisional double eyelid surgery is a method that seeks natural-looking results with minimal invasiveness, and it is often chosen not only for aesthetic reasons but also to improve eye function. In particular, as the eye shape becomes more defined, patients can expect an overall change in their facial image, and many people gain renewed confidence through this procedure. Today, we would like to talk about this surgery, which many of you are interested in.

Non-incisional double eyelid surgery is one method of creating a double eyelid line. Unlike conventional incisional methods or buried suture methods, it forms a double eyelid by allowing the skin and muscle of the eyelid to adhere naturally. Simply put, instead of cutting tissue or tying it with sutures, the procedure encourages the skin and muscle to attach to each other in a natural state, thereby creating the double eyelid.

The surgical process is relatively simple. First, a suitable double eyelid line is designed according to the patient’s eye shape and skin condition. Then, depending on the designed line, a small incision may be made, or without an incision, the dermal layer and muscle layer are appropriately connected through tiny openings to induce adhesion. It is important during this process to guide the tissue so that it adheres naturally, with the aim of forming a more natural and lasting double eyelid line. This process requires highly precise work, and the skill and experience of an experienced specialist are essential.

The surgery usually takes about 30 minutes to 1 hour and is performed under local anesthesia to reduce the burden of pain during the procedure. After surgery, the return to daily life tends to be relatively quick. Some swelling and bruising may occur, but these gradually subside. How quickly they fade varies by person.

This surgery has clear advantages. The greatest advantage is that it aims for a natural-looking double eyelid. Because the tissue adheres naturally without an incision or knots, a natural and soft line can be expected even after surgery. Another advantage of non-incisional double eyelid surgery is a relatively quick recovery after surgery, as it requires little to no incision or only a minimal incision. The burden of returning to daily life tends to be low, and the schedule can be planned during a consultation. In addition to these aspects, because non-incisional double eyelid surgery involves little to no incision, it helps reduce the burden of scarring. As a result, the eyelid skin stays smooth after surgery, and the procedure can be expected to look less obvious.

As we have discussed so far, non-incisional double eyelid surgery is a suitable method for those who want natural-looking double eyelids while hoping to reduce the burden of recovery after surgery. However, as with any surgery, it is important to first examine the condition of your eyes and choose the surgical method that matches your desired outcome. If you are considering non-incisional double eyelid surgery, we recommend having a thorough consultation with an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon and choosing the method suited to you. Thank you.
