Double Eyelid Surgery
The perfect double eyelid surgery for me, it creates a natural double eyelid that fits your eyes, natural and slim eye lines. A person with double eyelids is generally accepted as being a more active and open-minded person as double eyelids makes your face look brighter and friendlier.
What is double eyelid surgery (Blepharoplasty) ?
Since it removes all excessive muscle and fat that make your eyelids thick, your eyelids become slim, making the lines for double eyelids natural and slim. Also, there will be visible differences in surgical results depending on the surgeon, so your surgery must be performed from a highly skilled surgeon specialized in plastic surgery.

Surgical method of Double eyelid surgery at JW Korea Plastic Surgery Hospital
1. Non-incision method (Buried Suture): Creating natural-looking and big eyes without incision
Double eyelid surgery methods consist of incision method, non-incision method (buried suture), and partial incision.
The surgery method is selected by the type of your eyelid, thickness of eyelid skin, fat volume under the eye skin, strength of eye opening muscle, and others, during the consultation with your doctor.
Non-incision method (buried suture) that ties inner muscles and inner skin of eyelid, is considered as the best method for teenagers and young adults in their 20s, whose skin is elastic. If you have sleepy eyes, ptosis correction surgery should be conducted together, as double eyelid surgery cannot change sleepy eyes on its own.
Non-incision method (Buried suture) is recommended for:
- Those who have thin eyelids Those who have a low volume of fat in the area of eyelids
- Those who want to have natural-looking eyes
- Those whose skin around their eyes is sufficiently elastic
- XThose who doesn’t want the incision method.
2. Incision method: Distinctive and natural-looking eye shape!
Incision method cuts the double eyelid line to remove a certain amount of tissue, including skin, muscle, fat and connective tissues, then stitches the dermis layer under the line with fascia and tarsal plate, allowing the two tissues to adhere to one another by scar tissue. In this way, the double eyelid line is accurate and clear.
The incision method makes your double eyelid last long but swelling after the operation can last longer in comparison and it takes a longer time to make your double eyelid to appear naturally.

Incision method is applicable to:
- Those whose double eyelids are thick and have high fat volume
- Those who want to have a distinctive eye shape
- Those whose skin is sagging

3. Partial Incision method
You can have both natural looking eyes through the non-incision method (buried suture) method and distinctive eye shapes through the incision method.
Partial incision has strengths of both non-incision method (buried suture) and incision method. The partial incision creates a 10mm crease in the middle of the fold by the incision method, and the creases of both sides are shaped by buried suture. After the shape of double eyelid fold is created then the fold is stitched. Through the partial incision method, not only the double eyelid fold can last longer than the ones made by other methods but also leaving no scar remains, fat around eyelid can be removed, and swelling is relieved quickly. However, this method can’t be applied to those who have sagging eyelids.
Partial incision is applicable to:
- Those who have a large amount fat or muscle around their eyes
- Those whose double eyelid crease came undone after the non-incision method (buried suture)
- Those who want to remove fat around their eyelids
- Those who want to minimize scarring and swelling
