In an era when beauty and fashion trends are outrunning every other trend in every field, people are flocking to take care of themselves in every way to boost their confidence and improve their personal image. There’s no denying that a beautiful face is the first thing others notice about you. So if some of your facial proportions are a little off, it naturally makes us look less than our best, right? And we believe many people are still dealing with drooping eyelids, uneven double eyelids, monolids, weak eye muscles, or even a previous eye surgery that went wrong and didn’t turn out as beautiful as hoped. There are several procedures to choose from to correct these, depending on the doctor’s assessment. So today, as always, we’ve brought you some useful tips about eye surgery to know before you decide.

Eye surgery is cosmetic surgery that can help correct uneven eyelid folds, monolids, drooping eyelids and sagging eyelid skin, under-eye bags, or hereditary conditions (for example MG: Myasthenia Gravis, a condition in which the eye muscles work abnormally or are weak, including abnormal function of the nerves around the eyes). It creates a new eyelid fold by making an incision in the eyelid and then stitching it closed. After surgery, the eyes can be reshaped to look beautiful, with clear eyelid folds that are even on both sides.

In the past few years, beauty trends have become more popular than ever, especially double eyelid surgery, which is widely accepted and also helps make your appearance more attractive and charming. But before you decide on double eyelids, let’s take a moment to understand which double eyelid technique suits which type of eyes, so it fits your face. For single eyelids, or monolids, which have no upper eyelid crease and make the eyes look small and less striking, traditional double eyelid surgery, which surgically creates a new crease that is clear and permanent, is likely the right choice.

When the eyes have an eyelid crease that is unclear or tucked inside the eyelid, we call them hidden double eyelids. Similar to stitching fabric without cutting, the Suture Technique helps make the crease clearer without surgery. For hidden double eyelids where the crease is inconsistent, sometimes there and sometimes not, a small open incision, or Minimal Incision, helps create a new, long-lasting permanent crease. For eyes with thick skin and a lot of fat that make the crease unclear, traditional double eyelid surgery combined with removing the excess fat helps the crease look clearer and more natural. Where the eyes have drooping or sagging eyelids that make them look sad or tired, double eyelid surgery combined with an eyelid lift helps give you beautiful, bright eyes that look full of life again.

See? Double eyelid surgery has many techniques to choose from, according to what suits each person’s eyes. It also depends on the doctor’s assessment of whether you have any complicating conditions, such as weak eye muscles or abnormal function of the eye nerves and muscles, in which case the eye surgery will be different. In the next section we’ll introduce the techniques that can turn tired, weary, dull-looking eyes around. Let’s take a look!

Laser double eyelid surgery is an innovation that gives natural-looking double eyelid results. Plasma energy waves are directed into the eyelid layer, which can cut tissue and stop bleeding instantly, tightening wrinkled, sagging eyes for clear eyelid folds and sweet, charming eyes.

Advantages:   No need to worry about scars, as it leaves no marks to bother you. There is very little bleeding, almost none, and recovery is quick with no long rest needed. This technique suits people with sagging or drooping eyelids, people whose eyelid folds hang over the eyes and blur their vision, and people who are afraid of traditional surgery, as it is not very painful and recovery is fast.

Suitable for: People with sagging or drooping eyelids, a lot of eyelid skin, thick eyelid skin, or eyelid folds that hang over the eyes and blur their vision. People who are afraid of traditional surgery can choose this technique too: it is not very painful and recovery is fast.

If you want beautiful double eyelids but are afraid of surgery, try the 3-point suture technique! This technique makes tiny openings in the eyelid and stitches it with special thread at 3 points, without using a scalpel. The doctor uses the thread to anchor between the planned points to create the eyelid fold, giving a soft, sweet, natural-looking fold. The advantages of this technique are no external scars to worry about, no swelling or bruising, fast recovery, and you can return to normal life as soon as it’s done. This technique suits people with small double eyelids or monolids who want extra sparkle, people with hidden double eyelids, and office workers who can’t take time off work after surgery.

Advantages: No external scars to bother you, total peace of mind. No swelling or bruising, fast recovery. You can return to normal life as soon as it’s done, with no need to take time off work.

Suitable for: People with small double eyelids or monolids who want more definition for hidden double eyelids and brighter-looking eyes, including people with no eyelid fat or excess eyelid skin, to reduce drooping eyelids, and office workers who can’t take time off after surgery and want convenience.

For anyone who wants big, round, sweet, doll-like double eyelids, the short-incision double eyelid technique is another excellent option. This technique makes a small incision and then stitches the eyelid fold at a height and depth that suits you, as analysed and designed by the medical team to match what you want. The advantages of this technique are a small incision that heals quickly, little or no recovery time, and a natural eyelid fold. It suits people with small eyelid folds, monolids or hidden double eyelids, people with thin eyelids and little eyelid fat, and people who want big, round, doll-like eyes with an Asian look.

Advantages: The incision is only 0.5-2 cm long, heals quickly and needs little or no recovery time, for a natural eyelid fold.

Suitable for: People with small eyelid folds, monolids, hidden double eyelids, thin eyelids or little eyelid fat. Short-incision double eyelid surgery suits younger people who don’t yet have many problems with eyelid skin, eyelid folds or drooping eyes, and people who want big, round, doll-like eyes with an Asian look.

A trend that never goes out of style is the Western look and the Korean look, both of which call for sharp eyes with clearly defined folds. Long-incision double eyelid surgery makes an incision from the inner corner to the outer corner of the eye. With this technique, the outer corner may be opened, and excess eyelid fat and eyelid skin may also be removed, depending on the doctor’s diagnosis and design. This technique can reshape the eyelid in more ways than other techniques.

Advantages: Highly versatile reshaping: Western-style, Korean-style or sharp Thai-style eyes are all possible!! Clear, natural-looking eyelid folds and beautifully defined eye lines. It can correct many problems, such as drooping eyelids, eyelid fat and weak eye muscles.

Suitable for: People with hidden double eyelids, uneven eyes, thick eyelids, a lot of eyelid fat or drooping eyes, including people with weak eye muscles. As people get older they often face these problems, so the long-incision technique is the suitable choice and corrects them better than the short incision.

Weak Eye Muscle Correction (Ptosis Surgery) A surgical method focused on correcting the muscle that controls the opening and closing of the eyelid. People with weak eye muscles cannot open their eyes fully, which makes them look like hidden double eyelids. This surgery helps restore the function of the eye muscles, evens out the eyelid folds and turns a sleepy, tired-looking face into a bright one.

Under-Eye Bag Removal (Eye Bag Surgery) A surgical method to correct under-eye bags that make the face look tired and prematurely aged. Removing under-eye bags helps the face look visibly brighter and younger.

Micro Scar™ Double Eyelid Surgery A surgical method with minimal trauma and a very small scar. This method suits people who want natural results and fast recovery.

Correction of Sunken Eye Sockets and Under-Eye Fat Bags  A surgical method to correct deep eye sockets and under-eye fat bags, problems that make the face look tired and prematurely aged. This surgery helps the eyes look visibly brighter and younger.

Eyelid fat repositioning is a technique that reduces the depth of the eye socket by moving fat from another area to fill the problem area. This method helps the eyes look fuller and brighter. The surgery suits people with deep eye sockets that make the face look weak and lacking in vitality.

Under-eye fat rearrangement is a method focused on reshaping the fat under the eyes. This technique helps correct under-eye bags and deep eye sockets, making the face look brighter and more youthful. The surgery suits people with under-eye bags that make them look tired and lack self-confidence.

There is also another procedure that helps create natural-looking double eyelids: brow lift surgery. At SLC Hospital there are 2 techniques to choose from: 4K endoscopic brow lift and Endotine brow lift.

1. The surgeon assesses the eyelid folds.
2. The doctor carries out a general health check to make sure the patient has no health problems that could affect the surgery.
3. The surgeon gives a local anaesthetic around the eyes so the patient feels no pain during surgery.
4. The surgeon then makes an incision in the eyelid along the desired fold line designed at the start, to create the new eyelid fold. The incision leaves a scar hidden in the crease of the eyelid fold, so it cannot be seen once healed.
5. The surgeon removes tissue, excess fat and excess eyelid skin as planned, to create a natural, beautiful eyelid fold.
6. Once a beautiful eyelid fold is achieved, the surgeon carefully closes the incision with sutures so it heals well with as little scarring as possible.

Note: After double eyelid surgery, you must follow the doctor’s aftercare advice strictly to get good results and reduce the chance of infection after surgery.
