What types of double eyelid surgery are there?

Buried suture eyelid surgery

The buried suture method is one of them. This method is also called polymer double eyelid surgery. It uses polymer threads to be buried in the eye skin where double eyelids are needed, so that the upper eyelid skin and the tarsal plate adhere to each other, forming double eyelids. This surgical method is very small and does not cause scars. There is no need to remove the sutures after the operation. It is suitable for people with thin eye skin and tight eye skin. People with thick eyelids should not undergo double eyelid surgery.

Double eyelid incision

Different double eyelid surgery methods will result in different double eyelid effects after surgery. Double eyelids created by incision can remain permanent. Through an incision, loose skin, orbicularis oculi muscle and hypertrophic fat are removed, and the skin is directly sutured to the orbicularis oculi muscle or levator palpebrae superioris aponeurosis under direct vision to form double eyelids. The effect of this surgical method is very natural, and the swelling time is a little longer, but the effect is very long-lasting.

Korean double eyelid method

There is another type of double eyelid surgery that perhaps everyone knows. It is a double eyelid surgery performed using the Korean method. This surgical method is suitable for those whose eye skin is not loose. It can fully combine the advantages of the incision method and the buried suture method to perform the surgery. It can moderately incise the eye skin in order to achieve the best and longest-lasting double eyelid surgery with minimal trauma.

It should be noted that in order to achieve the best treatment effect, the choice of actual double eyelid surgery must be individualized and one cannot blindly pursue consistent results. The surgery should be decided based on each person's face shape, eye shape, eye socket size, the relative position of the eye socket and eyeball, the width of the upper eyelid, and the thickness and texture of the skin.
