Incisional Double Eyelid Surgery
Hello, this is Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery. Today, we would like to share information about “incisional double eyelid surgery,” a formal cosmetic surgery that precisely adjusts the skin, fat, and muscle layers of the eyelids to improve the structure of the eyes themselves. It is especially suitable for those with thick eyelids or eyelashes that appear to droop, as well as those who have undergone the non-incisional buried suture method several times but whose lines have loosened.
This surgery forms a fixed line after making an incision in a certain portion of the skin. During this process, eyelid fat is appropriately removed or repositioned, aiming for naturally defined eyes while helping keep the line from loosening easily. Incisional double eyelid surgery at Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery is performed with the goal of achieving natural results that do not look obvious, based on each person’s eye structure and skin condition.
The key is not simply making the eyes larger, but creating a design that considers harmony with the overall impression.
When Incisional Double Eyelid Surgery Is Needed
Incisional double eyelid surgery is recommended in the following cases.
- When thick eyelid fat keeps a line made with the buried suture method from holding well
- When a previous double eyelid line has loosened or the lines are asymmetrical
- When drooping eyelids make your vision feel blocked or the skin covers the pupils
- When you want a clear, defined look but want to avoid an artificial feel
Surgical Method and Design
The core of incisional double eyelid surgery is “precise design.” At Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery, we analyze the patient’s eye shape, skin thickness, amount of fat, and even muscle movement to design a personalized incision line.
① Incision line design – Set the line at a position where it folds naturally when the eyes are open
② Fat adjustment after skin incision – Remove or reposition fat as needed
③ Muscle and skin fixation – Fine suturing so the double eyelid line folds naturally
Through this process, unnecessary puffiness of the eyelids is reduced, and a stable structure is created so the line can be maintained for a long time. Incisional double eyelid surgery at Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery applies a suturing technique designed to reduce the chance of the line loosening. The aim is for it to settle naturally, with less of an artificial or obviously “done” look.
Recovery Process and Care Methods
After incisional double eyelid surgery, initial swelling usually lasts about 3 to 5 days, and the eye shape gradually stabilizes from the time the stitches are removed after one week. Makeup is usually possible after about 2 weeks, and it takes several months for the line to settle into a natural look, with the timing varying by person.
Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery provides swelling reduction and scar care programs to help speed recovery. Cold and warm compresses, regenerative laser treatment, scar-softening care, and other steps are provided in stages to help swelling and bruising settle and scars fade.
Precautions During Recovery
- Avoid rubbing your eyes hard or sleeping face down for 2 weeks
- Contact lenses can be worn from 1 week after the stitches are removed
- Use thorough sun protection (to prevent pigmentation)
- Keep the eye area moisturized and sleep with your head slightly raised to ease swelling
Effects and Satisfaction of Incisional Double Eyelid Surgery
With incisional double eyelid surgery, relatively long-lasting results can be expected from a single procedure. Because the skin and muscle layers are corrected together, the likelihood of the line loosening is relatively low, and reducing the thickness of the eyelids can help make the eyes more defined. After surgery, the eyes can look more defined and opening them can feel easier, and an impression that once looked tired and heavy can become noticeably brighter. The degree of change varies from person to person.
The results of incisional double eyelid surgery tend to last relatively long and may vary depending on individual skin elasticity and lifestyle habits, such as sleep, smoking, and UV exposure. Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery helps the line last longer and minimizes side effects through pre- and post-operative care programs.
Side Effects and Points to Note
Because incisional double eyelid surgery is a highly advanced microsurgery, the experience and design sense of a skilled specialist are important. Possible side effects that may occasionally occur include temporary tightness, slight asymmetry, and reduced sensation, and these usually recover within 1 to 2 months, though the course varies by person.
In addition, because the incision line is designed to overlap with the natural eyelid crease, scars gradually become less noticeable over time, and the degree varies by person. Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery combines laser regeneration programs to support natural recovery and minimize the possibility of side effects.
