Double Eyelid Surgery is a cosmetic procedure that creates a natural-looking fold in the upper eyelid. This fold, or “crease”, makes the eye appear bigger, more open, and more expressive. Some people naturally have a double eyelid crease, while others have a single eyelid without visible fold. Double Eyelid Surgery is designed for people who either do not have a double eyelid or want to improve their existing double eyelid appearance. Unlike temporary methods like eyelid tape or glue, this procedure gives permanent results.
There are two main types of double eyelid surgeries, which are the non-incisional method and incisional method. Incisional method is better suited for people with thicker eyelids, sagging skin, or those who want a more durable outcome. It is also ideal for those who have had previous non-surgical treatments that did not last.

There are two main types of double eyelid surgeries which are the non-incisional method (a method that uses stitching and is less invasive), and incisional method. Incisional method is better suited for people with thicker eyelids, sagging skin, or those who want a more durable outcome. It is also ideal for those who have had previous non – surgical treatments that did not last.

Double Eyelid Surgery uses the incisional method that begins with marking the new crease line on the upper eyelid based on your facial features and personal goals. After applying local anesthesia to the eye area, the doctor makes a small incision along the marked line. Through the incision, excess skin, fat, or muscle will be removed or repositioned to create a defined, natural looking crease.

Double Eyelid Surgery is especially effective for people with thick eyelids, loose skin, or droopy eyelids. Once the shaping is done, the incision will be closed with fine sutures, which help form and hold the new eyelid fold.

1. Consultation will be conducted by the doctor.
2. Local anesthesia will be applied to the eye area.
3. An incision will be made along the marked eyelid crease.
4. Excess fat or skin will be removed to shape the eyelid.
5. The incision will be closed by suturing and forming the crease.
6. The sutures will be removed 5 to 7 days after surgery.
