Double Eyelid Surgery
Why Opt for Double Eyelid Surgery?
Many individuals are naturally born with what is known as monolids or single eyelids, where their upper eyelids lack a pronounced fold. While monolids typically don’t lead to functional issues, some people might experience discomfort due to eyelash irritation or vision obstruction, a problem that can become more pronounced with age. Additionally, having epicanthal folds and non-creased eyelids can contribute to a look that appears small, weary, or displeased.
Therefore, double eyelid surgery is a frequent choice for aesthetic purposes, aiming to refresh the individual’s appearance by making them look more youthful and vibrant.
Double Eyelid Surgery Methods
To establish the double eyelid fold, we have three primary techniques : the Thread Double Eyelid (No Incision Suture Method), the Minimal Incision Method, and the Full Incision Method.
The selection of the most suitable method depends on the unique characteristics of the eyelids, including the quantity of excess skin, the heaviness of the eyelids, any asymmetry, ptosis (drooping of the eyelid), the shape of the eye, as well as the specific type of double eyelid look that is desired. A detailed discussion about the most appropriate approach to achieve your individual objectives and the results you wish for will take place during your first consultation.
Thread Double Eyelid (No Incision Suture Method)
At ID Cosmetic Clinic, a distinctive threading technique is utilized to form the double eyelid crease. These procedures typically last about an hour and can be conducted under local anesthesia with mild sedation.
The process involves making tiny punctures along the eyelid skin, through which a permanent suture is carefully threaded and secured to the tarsus in a continuous manner to establish the double eyelid crease.
The outcome is durable, naturally looking eyelid folds that enhance the eyes, making them appear larger, brighter, and more welcoming. As the technique does not involve the removal of skin or muscle, there’s no need for a full incision. This results in minimal swelling and bruising, contributing to a faster recovery time.
Ideal Candidates:
- Seek a crease in the upper eyelid that looks natural
- Individuals in their teens and twenties
- Prefer a faster healing period
- Experience loose skin on the eyelids due to eyelid tape, glue, or false eyelashes
- Possess a faintly defined double eyelid
- Exhibit little to no eyelid drooping (ptosis)
- Wish to steer clear of scars from full incisions
- Have thin skin on the upper eyelids with little fat
Minimal Incision Method
Two or three minor incisions are made along the marked line for the desired double eyelid. If needed, surplus fat is extracted. To form the double-fold line, fixation stitches are then applied to link the tarsus with the muscle and the dermal layer of the skin. Subsequently, extremely delicate sutures are employed to carefully seal the incisions.
Ideal Candidates:
- Possesses thicker skin on the upper eyelids
- Exhibits mild to moderate looseness of skin
- Has mild to moderate amounts of excess fat
- Features a faintly visible double eyelid
- Shows little to no signs of eyelid drooping (ptosis)
- Desires to bypass the scars associated with full incisions
Full Incision Method
A full incision is performed across the entire upper eyelid to sculpt the sought-after crease. To prevent a hollowed or sunken look, the removal of excess fat, muscle, subcutaneous tissue, and skin is executed with caution, ensuring fat resection is conservative. The creation of a natural and distinct upper eyelid crease is achieved by placing fixation sutures that link the tarsus and levator muscle with the skin’s dermis. Finally, the procedure is completed by precisely closing the incisions with very fine sutures.

FAQs
Eyelid surgery usually starts with the administration of local anesthesia to numb the targeted area, complemented by light intravenous sedation. This ensures that patients stay awake during the procedure without experiencing any discomfort or pain. It’s normal to anticipate some level of discomfort following any surgical operation. To manage this, all patients receive prescriptions for pain medication. Generally, patients report experiencing only very mild discomfort after their eyelid surgeries.
Eyelid surgery is performed on an outpatient basis, allowing patients to go home on the same day of the procedure. Sutures are taken out between 7 to 10 days post-operation, after which any swelling begins to diminish rapidly. Typically, swelling fully resolves about 2 weeks following the Blepharoplasty. Most patients find they can return to their work schedules approximately a week after undergoing the surgery.
Indeed, even if you already possess double eyelids but are dissatisfied with their appearance, undergoing this procedure remains an option. Eyelid Surgery is designed to refine and refresh the look of your eyes. By removing and reshaping excess skin, the surgery can create the illusion of larger, more lively eyes.
