Treatment guide

Incisional double eyelid

SOURCE-BASED TREATMENT MAP

The approach, at a glance.

These consultation points summarize procedure-specific descriptions from the official Korean detail page. Suitability, technique, risks and recovery require individual clinical assessment.

Incisional approach

The source describes an eyelid incision that allows skin, muscle and fat tissue to be addressed.

Eyelid tissue

Eyelid thickness, drooping, skin and fat are assessment topics.

Fold design

The source discusses in-line, semi-out and out-line fold shapes in relation to individual eye structure.

Avoid irritation

The aftercare text advises against forceful rubbing or squeezing the eyelids shut.

Process described in the source

  • Consultation

    The source starts with assessment of the eyelids.

  • Design and incision

    The source describes an approach along the planned fold line.

  • Tissue adjustment

    The explanation discusses skin, muscle, fat and fold formation.

  • Closure

    The source then describes closure.

This diagram follows the source’s explanation order. It is not an individual operative plan or a promised result.

How the approach works.

The planned crease guides the incision. Tissue removal and fixation are tailored to the eyelid, followed by closure. Incision care and follow-up are part of planning; no incision-based procedure is scar-free.

Upper-eyelid movement assessment

Upper-eyelid position and movement are assessed while brow activity is considered separately. The levator and its aponeurosis are explained in the accompanying text.

The levator muscle runs above the eyeball and continues toward the upper eyelid through its aponeurosis.

Closing the incision

The incision is closed after tissue handling and fixation. Incision care and follow-up remain part of planning.

What the consultation considers.

  • Skin laxity

  • Tissue thickness

  • Previous crease loss

This is a starting point for a consultation, not an individual treatment recommendation.

Recovery, risks & limits.

Some reactions can be temporary; complications can also require treatment. This is not an exhaustive list.

Swelling, bruising, discomfort and scarring can occur.

Dryness, difficulty closing the eyes, asymmetry or a need for revision should be discussed.

Bleeding, infection and rare serious changes in vision require specific discussion with the surgeon.

Your timeline is individual.

Procedure time, anaesthesia, follow-up and return travel depend on your examination and the final plan. Confirm them before paying for flights or accommodation.

Recovery and results vary. Your clinician should explain the procedure-specific risks and aftercare before you decide.

If you develop severe or worsening symptoms after treatment, seek medical attention rather than waiting for an online reply.

Your questions, answered.

How does this differ from natural adhesion?

An incision allows direct access to excess skin and tissue. Natural adhesion uses small openings and internal sutures. They are different methods selected for different eyelid findings.

How long should I stay in Korea?

Procedure time, anaesthesia, follow-up and return travel depend on your examination and the final plan. Confirm them before paying for flights or accommodation.

Can I choose the procedure before an examination?

You can explore your options first. The final plan requires an examination, a discussion of alternatives and informed consent. Choosing no treatment is also an option.

How is the cost decided?

The clinic confirms the proposed method, treatment area and product or equipment before giving an individual quote. Ask what is included in follow-up care.

What should I disclose before treatment?

Tell the clinician about previous procedures, implants, medication, allergies and health conditions. Bring available details of earlier injections or surgery.
