Short incision technique (small wound)
Short-incision double eyelid surgery is a procedure that creates a permanent double eyelid crease using a very small incision, typically 3–5 mm. This method does not involve removing excess eyelid skin, resulting in a smaller wound that is easier to care for and causes less swelling and bruising. Recovery time is shorter compared to other techniques. Fat can also be removed during the procedure, allowing for a more natural-looking double eyelid.
Suitable for?
- Individuals who are relatively young
- Those with minimal excess eyelid skin
- People with mild eyelid drooping
- Those with limited recovery time who need to return to work quickly
- Individuals who frequently use double eyelid tape or stickers
Long incision technique (eyelid surgery)
Long-incision double eyelid surgery with excess skin removal (Upper Blepharoplasty) is a procedure that creates a permanent double eyelid crease by removing excess upper eyelid skin. This method allows for significant correction of droopy eyelids and sagging at the outer corners of the eyes. It results in natural-looking double eyelids and is suitable for individuals with more pronounced eyelid concerns. However, the recovery period is typically longer, and swelling may take more time to subside compared to the short-incision method.
Suitable for?
- Suitable for everyone, especially those with excess eyelid skin
- Individuals with droopy eyelids
- Those with very puffy upper eyelids
- Ideal for revision cases of previous double eyelid surgery
- Allows for versatile adjustment of fat and double eyelid shape
