Eyelid surgery
Design a stable double eyelid line by incising, arranging, and suturing.
Incision double eyelid surgery is a procedure where precise incisions are made along the design line of the upper eyelid, excess skin, muscle, and fat are removed, and then the incision is closed. Compared to the buried eyelid surgery method, it offers greater suturing strength and tends to maintain a stable line. It may be suitable for those with thick upper eyelids, abundant fat, or those who require line correction. The results may vary depending on the patient's eye shape, skin thickness, and amount of fat.
Before & After

After
Especially Suitable For
- For people with thick or fatty upper eyelid skin
- Those who have difficulty maintaining lines with the burial method
- Have you ever experienced lines that often come undone or become blurry?
- For those who want to revise their previous double eyelid crease
- For those who want to improve sagging skin and create defined lines
- For those who want stable and clear lines
This is how it progresses, and this is how it's different.
Enter Plastic Surgery focuses on designing natural results that suit patients through step-by-step precision and detail.

Point 01
1:1 Line Design
We analyze your eye shape, facial balance, intercanthal distance, and eyelid thickness to design the most suitable crease type (in-fold, out-fold, in-out) and height for you.

Point 02
Organizational refinement
Excessive skin, sagging muscles, and fat are resected and contoured, Addressing thick upper eyelid issues that are difficult to treat with buried sutures.
Skin, muscle, and fat management -
Point 03
Stable holding power
Designed for precise suturing of skin and deep tissues to ensure stable line maintenance, with a focus on reducing the possibility of loosening.
Stable closure, reduced burden of loosening -
Point 04
Micro-suture finish
The incision is closed using a micro-suture technique, allowing the scar to settle naturally into the double eyelid line over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some frequently asked questions about incisional double eyelid surgery. Please feel free to ask any additional questions during your consultation.
-
How long does the surgery take?
It takes about 40 minutes to 1 hour. The time may vary depending on the scope of tissue removal and the patient's eye condition.
-
What's the difference between the buried suture method and the incision method?
Buried suture methods create a line with sutures through small incisions for relatively fast recovery and minimal scarring. Incise methods involve cutting the upper eyelid to adjust skin, muscle, and fat before suturing. While recovery takes longer, they offer strong crease fixation and are suitable for thick eyelids or revision surgeries. We will guide you to the most suitable method based on your eye shape, skin thickness, and fat volume through consultation.
-
Can the line be loosened?
The incision method directly sutures the skin and deep tissues, making it less prone to line loosening compared to the buried suture method. However, the recovery process and line stabilization may vary depending on the patient's skin condition.
-
Are the scars very noticeable?
Since the incision line is placed above the newly created double eyelid line, it is finished so that it naturally becomes hidden within the natural line over time and is not easily noticeable. Recovery patterns may vary depending on the patient's skin condition.
-
What is the recovery period?
Bruising and swelling subside over 2-3 weeks, and it takes about 3-6 months for the natural lines to settle. Recovery is slightly longer than with the buried suture method, and there may be individual differences.
-
When are the stitches removed?
External sutures are usually removed approximately 5 to 7 days after surgery. The removal timing may be adjusted by the medical staff depending on the patient's recovery status.
-
How is the LINE type (infold/outfold) determined?
We will comprehensively examine your eye shape, intercanthal distance, presence of epicanthal folds, and overall facial balance to determine the most suitable crease type for you among infold, outfold, and infold-outfold. During the consultation, you can confirm the line that best suits your appearance through simulation.
-
Is it possible to correct existing double eyelid lines?
It is possible to change the position of existing lines, correct asymmetry, and reinforce blurred lines. However, the application method will vary depending on the scars and tissue condition from previous surgeries, so we will provide guidance through a consultation.
-
When do the results start to look natural?
As the swelling subsides, a natural line gradually forms and stabilizes over approximately 3 to 6 months. The timing of stabilization may vary from person to person.
