Natural Adhesion vs. Incision Double Eyelid Surgery Differences? Types of Double Eyelid Surgery and Criteria for Choosing the Right One for Your Eyes

The Right Double Eyelid Surgery for You: 'Suitability' Comes Before the Method

After deciding to undergo Double Eyelid Surgery, the most frequently asked question is undoubtedly, "Is natural adhesion better, or is incision better?" However, rather than simply debating which surgical method is superior, making the right choice based on your eye structure, skin thickness, and fat volume is the key to reducing side effects and increasing satisfaction.

At 345 Plastic Surgery, we precisely analyze each individual's anatomical characteristics to design the most harmonious eyelid line. Since the expected changes and recovery processes differ depending on the surgical method, it is important to clearly understand the characteristics of each.

Types of Double Eyelid Surgery: Differences Between Natural Adhesion, Incision, and Partial Incision

Double eyelid surgery methods can be broadly divided into three categories. Each method is selected based on the condition of the eyelids and the desired clarity of the line.

• Incision Method: The skin is directly incised to remove unnecessary tissue and form the crease line. It has a low probability of unraveling and is effective in creating clear, defined eyes.
• Non-Incision / Natural Adhesion: The line is induced by securing it with threads through microscopic holes. With almost no skin incision, it features minimal scarring, fast recovery, and a natural appearance.
• Partial Incision: Combining the advantages of both incision and non-incision methods, this technique removes only fat through a small incision window while completing a natural-looking line.

Incision vs. Non-Incision: What is the Difference?

The biggest differences are 'retention power' and 'recovery speed.' The incision method can yield stable results for eyes with thick skin or excess fat, or when ptosis (drooping eyelids) correction is needed. However, an incision line may remain, and a relatively longer recovery period is required for the swelling to subside.

On the other hand, non-incision (natural adhesion) induces adhesion using the strength of threads, resulting in less swelling immediately after surgery and a quicker return to daily life. However, if the eyelid muscles are weak or the skin is very thick, the line may fade over time, so thorough consultation with the medical staff must precede the surgery.

Does the Incision Method Always Leave a Large Scar?

Many people hesitate to choose the incision method due to concerns about scarring. However, the visibility of a scar varies greatly depending on an individual's skin type.

• If the skin tone is bright and clear
• If the pores are small and the skin tissue is dense
• If the skin is thin with few skin troubles like acne

Individuals who meet the above conditions often show excellent recovery with unnoticeable scars even after undergoing the incision method. Therefore, rather than being intimidated simply by the name of the surgery, it is advisable to have your skin condition diagnosed first.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the biggest difference between natural adhesion and incisional double eyelid surgery?

The biggest differences are durability and recovery speed. The incisional method offers good durability and is suitable for eyes with thick skin or a lot of fat, while natural adhesion is characterized by faster recovery and less swelling, allowing for a quicker return to daily life.

I'm worried about prominent scars if I get double eyelid surgery with the incisional method.

No, the visibility of scars varies greatly depending on individual skin type. If you have a bright, clear skin tone, small pores, and thin skin, scars often heal well and are not noticeable even with the incisional method.

Which double eyelid surgery method is best for me?

Rather than simply determining which surgical method is superior, it is important to choose the appropriate method based on your eye structure, skin thickness, and fat amount. It is best to design the most harmonious line for you through a precise diagnosis with medical staff.

Is there a possibility that natural adhesion double eyelids might loosen?

Yes, there is a possibility. Since natural adhesion induces adhesion with the power of the thread, if the eyelid muscles are weak or the skin is very thick, the line may fade over time, so you should consult sufficiently with medical staff.

In what cases is partial incision double eyelid surgery suitable?

Partial incision is a method that combines the advantages of the incisional and non-incisional methods, and it is suitable for cases where you want to create a natural line by removing only unnecessary fat through a small incision.
