Fixed double eyelid

The procedure involves less trauma than a full incision, with a shorter recovery period (approximately one week for swelling to subside) and no visible scarring post-operation. Compared to the traditional suture method, it offers greater stability and allows for the removal of a small amount of fat to improve mild puffiness under the eyes.

Treatment Effect

Generally, swelling after a fixed-point double eyelid surgery subsides within about one week, initial shaping occurs within approximately one month, and the results fully stabilize between three to six months. The final double eyelid crease appears natural and smooth, making the eyes look brighter and more expressive, effectively improving eye shape and enhancing overall facial aesthetics. Moreover, due to the small incision size, postoperative scarring is minimal, resulting in a double eyelid that looks naturally born.

Is this suitable for me?

Suitable for individuals seeking natural double eyelid results without excessive surgical trauma or prolonged recovery time, particularly those with thin eyelids, no significant puffiness, and non-sagging upper eyelid skin. This procedure is less appropriate for individuals with active eye inflammation or infection, uncontrolled systemic conditions such as hypertension or diabetes, or those prone to scarring.

Select Device

Select Equipment

Standard double eyelid surgery primarily uses conventional surgical instruments, such as scalpels, forceps, scissors, and suturing needles. When selecting equipment, ensure that it consists of certified, qualified products approved by relevant national authorities, with intact sterile packaging, to avoid complications such as surgical infections caused by equipment issues. While some advanced surgical instruments may offer advantages in precision and reduced trauma during procedures, the surgeon's technical skill remains the critical factor.

Selecting Equipment

Standard double-eyelid surgery primarily utilizes routine surgical instruments such as scalpels, forceps, scissors, and suturing needles. When selecting equipment, ensure that all items are certified by relevant national authorities, are sterile, and have intact packaging to prevent complications such as surgical infections caused by equipment issues. While advanced surgical instruments may offer advantages in precision and minimizing trauma, the surgeon's technical skill remains the most critical factor.

Price

Price

The cost of double eyelid surgery varies depending on the region, hospital, and the surgeon's level of expertise. Prices typically range from approximately 2,400 to 8,000 South Korean won. In large plastic surgery clinics in economically developed areas, costs tend to be higher due to increased overhead; conversely, smaller beauty clinics may offer lower prices, though the quality and safety of the procedure may not be guaranteed.

Expected Outcome

Expected Outcomes

Patients should maintain realistic expectations regarding results. While double eyelid surgery can enhance the appearance of the eyes, it cannot completely alter one's overall facial features or aura. The surgical outcome is influenced by individual eye characteristics, the surgeon's skill level, and other factors. Before the procedure, patients should communicate thoroughly with their surgeon to understand their specific eye condition and the potential results, thereby avoiding psychological disappointment due to overly high expectations.

Combination Therapy

Combined Treatments

Double eyelid surgery can be performed in combination with other eye plastic procedures to achieve better results. For example, combining it with canthoplasty can make the eyes appear wider and brighter, while combining it with lower blepharoplasty can improve signs of aging around the eyes. However, combined treatments increase the complexity and risks of the surgery, so they should be carried out only after evaluation and recommendation by a qualified specialist.

Adverse Effects and Complications

Side Effects and Complications

Common side effects and complications include postoperative swelling and bruising, which typically subside within 1 to 2 weeks. Other potential issues include asymmetry of the double eyelid or irregular lines, which are often related to the surgeon's skill level and surgical technique. In rare cases, patients may experience infection or excessive scar formation. Infections require prompt antibiotic treatment, while excessive scarring can be improved through medication, laser therapy, or other methods.

Beyond the aforementioned side effects such as swelling, bruising, asymmetry, infection, and scar formation, some patients may also experience ptosis (drooping of the upper eyelid) or difficulty opening the eyes fully. However, these occurrences are relatively uncommon. If any of these side effects arise, it is important to consult your surgeon immediately to initiate appropriate treatment.

Select Instrument

As previously mentioned, double eyelid surgery primarily relies on standard surgical instruments rather than large-scale equipment. However, some clinics may utilize auxiliary devices such as electrocautery units for hemostasis. When selecting a facility, ensure the quality and safety of the equipment by verifying that it carries relevant certifications and compliance marks.

Project Contraindications

Project Contraindications

Individuals with serious diseases of vital organs such as the heart, liver, or kidneys, coagulation disorders, mental illnesses, or psychological conditions should not undergo the procedure. Women should also avoid surgery during menstruation, pregnancy, and lactation, as changes in blood clotting function and the endocrine system during these periods increase surgical risks. Additionally, patients with unrealistic expectations regarding surgical outcomes are not suitable candidates for the procedure.

Contraindications for the Procedure

Individuals with severe diseases affecting vital organs such as the heart, liver, or kidneys, those with coagulation disorders, mental illnesses, or psychological disorders should not undergo this procedure. Women during menstruation, pregnancy, or breastfeeding should also avoid surgery, as changes in blood clotting function and the endocrine system during these periods increase surgical risks. Additionally, patients with unrealistic expectations regarding the surgical outcome are not suitable candidates for the procedure.

Side effects

Side Effects

In addition to the side effects mentioned above, such as swelling, bruising, asymmetry, infection, and hypertrophic scarring, conditions like ptosis and difficulty opening the eyes may also occur, though these are relatively rare. If any of these side effects appear, it is important to communicate with your doctor promptly to receive appropriate treatment.

Self-Symptom Check

Self-Diagnosis of Symptoms

If you experience intensified eye pain, persistent swelling, or pus discharge from the incision site after surgery, it may indicate an infection. If the double eyelid appearance is noticeably asymmetrical or the crease line appears too rigid, it could suggest unsatisfactory surgical results. However, self-diagnosis may be inaccurate; if any abnormalities occur, seek immediate medical attention for evaluation and treatment by a professional physician.

Select Treatment Plan

The doctor will create a personalized treatment plan based on the patient's eye condition. When selecting a treatment plan, patients should communicate thoroughly with the doctor to understand the pros and cons of different options, the surgical procedure, recovery time, and costs. At the same time, respect the doctor's professional advice and avoid blindly pursuing a specific treatment plan.
