The eyes are the most prominent feature that determines your first impression. Many people consider double eyelid surgery to achieve a more favorable appearance. In particular, an increasing number of people are using their school breaks or vacation seasons to attempt a change in their image.
Beyond simply enlarging the eyes, the purpose of surgery varies depending on individual concerns, such as improving sleepy-looking eyes or softening a sharp impression. For successful results, the key is choosing the surgical method most suitable for your specific eye conditions.
Natural Adhesion vs. Incision: Which Method is Right for Me?
Double eyelid surgery methods are broadly divided into natural adhesion (non-incisional) and incision methods. Since both approaches have different advantages and indications, a thorough consultation with a specialist must precede any decision.
| Category | Custom Fit Natural Adhesion | Custom Fit Incision |
|---|---|---|
| Skin Condition | Thin skin, low fat volume | Thick skin, high fat volume |
| Surgical Features | Natural adhesion through micro-holes | Removal of unnecessary tissue through skin incision |
| Key Advantages | Minimal swelling and bruising, fast return to daily life | Firm fixation, low chance of unraveling |
Custom Fit Natural Adhesion: Naturalness Without Worrying About Scars
Natural Adhesion is a method that induces natural adhesion between the skin and muscle using medical threads after creating micro-holes along the desired line without incising the skin. It is suitable for those who prefer a natural change, as it looks less artificial and the swelling subsides quickly.
Custom Fit Incision: Completing Defined and Distinct Eyes
The Incision method is a surgical technique that directly removes unnecessary soft tissues, such as sagging skin, excessive fat, and muscle, by incising the skin along the designed line. It allows for firm fixation even when the eyelids are droopy or the tissues are thick, and it has the advantage of maintaining a clear and defined line for a long time.
Ptosis Correction and Triple Canthoplasty to Enhance Synergy
Areas that are insufficient with double eyelid surgery alone can be supplemented by combining ptosis correction or canthoplasty.
- Non-incisional Ptosis Correction: When the eyes look sleepy due to weak eye-opening muscles, this strengthens the muscle power without an incision to create defined eyes.
- Triple Canthoplasty: This refreshingly improves stuffy-looking eyes through epicanthoplasty (removing the Mongolian fold), lateral canthoplasty (extending the horizontal length), and lower canthoplasty (adjusting the angle of the outer eye corner).
Customized Design Perfected by 22 Years of Know-How
In eye surgery, very subtle differences, such as the starting point and height of the line, determine the perfection of the result. Dr. In-Soo Song of 345 Plastic Surgery Local Center establishes the most harmonious surgical plan by meticulously analyzing each individual's eye shape and skin condition based on 22 years of rich clinical experience.
If you want to find the perfect 'Custom Fit' line for yourself, we recommend getting a precise diagnosis first to determine which surgical method you need.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is natural adhesion double eyelid surgery suitable for?
Yes, it is suitable for those with thin skin and less fat on their eyelids. Since it induces adhesion with a thread through a microscopic hole without incising the skin, it is a recommended surgical method for those who want a less artificial look, less swelling and bruising, and a quick return to daily life.
If my eyelid skin is thick and fatty, or if my eyelids are droopy, do I need incisional surgery?
Yes, if your skin is thick, fatty, or your eyelids are droopy, incisional surgery is effective. By incising the skin along the designed line and directly removing unnecessary fat, muscle, and other soft tissues, the likelihood of the double eyelid line loosening is low, and a clear and distinct line can be maintained for a long time.
Can sleepy-looking eyes be improved with double eyelid surgery alone?
No, double eyelid surgery alone may not be enough, so it is recommended to combine it with non-incisional ptosis correction. If your eyes look sleepy due to weak muscle strength for opening the eyes, strengthening the muscle without incision can create a more defined and vibrant eye shape.
What are the effects of triple canthoplasty?
It has the effect of refreshingly expanding stuffy-looking eyes. By performing epicanthoplasty (to remove Mongolian folds), lateral canthoplasty (to extend the horizontal length of the eye), and lower canthoplasty (to adjust the angle of the outer corner of the eye) simultaneously, the overall size and shape of the eyes are improved to be larger and softer.
