Hello.

I am Toshiyuki Saiga of BIANCA CLINIC.

 

"If my eyelids are thick, will I not get double eyelids?"

Frequently asked questions during counseling sessions.

 

Actually, even those with thicker eyelidsCreating your ideal double eyelids is entirely possible.What is it?

However, it is important to take the “appropriate steps” according to the structure of the eyelid.

 

 

The Basics of Double Eyelid Surgery

There are two main types of double eyelid surgery.

 

  • Buried suture method: A technique that creates an eyelid crease by fixing the inner eyelid with sutures.

  • Incision method: A technique that involves making an incision in the skin to form a line while trimming excess subcutaneous tissue.

 

With either method, choosing a design suited to your eyelid condition can achieve natural-looking double eyelids.

 

 

Why thick eyelids make it harder to get double eyelids

The main cause of thick eyelids is the tissue beneath the skin.Abundant fat (orbital fat and ROOF) and subcutaneous tissuething.

Even when securing the double line with thread, it may not bite in easily, and over time the line may become shallower.

 

Additionally, skeletal features such as weak eyelid opening (ptosis tendency) and a narrow distance between the eyebrows and eyes are also related.

In such cases, double surgery alone may not achieve the ideal shape.

 

 

Tackle thick eyelids with a combination treatment!

The patient we are introducing this time expressed the desire to "improve the thickness and sagging of the eyelids while achieving natural, wide parallel double eyelids."

This order is extremely important.

 

 Reset the thickness of your eyelids with a brow lift

By removing excess skin and fat and reducing eyelid volume, we create a foundation that allows the double eyelid line to appear clearly defined.

Even with just a brow lift, the eye area looks refreshed, creating a natural impression that enhances your original deep-set double eyelids.

Many people like this state, and it is beautiful enough to be considered complete as is.

 

 Design your ideal eyelid line with double eyelid surgery

For those wishing to further widen their eyes, we perform a double eyelid incision to create a parallel crease.

Since it's done with the foundation already prepared, even a spacious design is possible.A natural finish without any heavinesswill become.

 

Finish and Progress

It will take about six months to complete.

As the swelling subsided and the line stabilized, it developed into an ideal parallel double eyelid.

Creating double eyelids suddenly on thick eyelids can result in a shallow crease or make them appear heavy.

That's precisely why,Phased implementation of the design planis crucial.

Patients were delighted, saying it was "more natural and elegant than they had imagined."

 

 

Summary|Custom-made designs are especially recommended for those with thick eyelids.

Even for the same "double eyelid surgery," the optimal technique varies depending on eyelid thickness, fat content, and skin quality.

At Bianca Clinic, we propose plans tailored to each individual's bone structure, considering both anatomical structure and the beauty of the final result.

Even if you've given up thinking, "My eyelids are too thick..." please feel free to consult us.
