Double eyelid surgery using a natural-looking, permanent double eyelid incision technique
The key to double eyelid surgery is creating a natural-looking, permanent crease. To achieve beautiful double eyelids, a thorough understanding of the eye's anatomy and advanced surgical techniques is essential. BIANCA CLINIC employs multiple doctors with extensive experience in eyelid procedures. They continuously refine their knowledge and skills every day.
Additionally, at Bianca, we propose treatments tailored to each patient's ideal outcome. For instance, if you wish to address both skin laxity and fat, we can consider combining double eyelid surgery with a skin tightening procedure. Furthermore, if you have different concerns for each eye, it may be possible to perform distinct treatments on each side simultaneously. The suitability of combined procedures is determined by the doctor's assessment, so please consult with us about your ideal eye appearance.

CHARACTERISTICSDouble incision method
Double eyelid surgery is a procedure that creates double eyelids by carefully incising the eyelid skin along the desired crease line and meticulously manipulating the underlying structures such as the orbicularis oculi muscle, tarsal plate, and orbital septum.
An incision is made along the desired double eyelid line, simultaneously removing excess skin, muscle, and fat. The tissue is then sutured to create the double eyelid. Because the incision and suturing occur along the double eyelid line, the scar is relatively inconspicuous even when the eyes are closed or when looking downward.
Double eyelid surgery can create a distinct double eyelid line in the incision area, but post-surgery changes due to aging, such as a narrowing of the double eyelid width caused by sagging, are possible. Therefore, maintaining the ideal appearance through self-care and regular maintenance at the clinic is essential.
*Orbicularis oculi muscle... a muscle that extends around the eye
*Tarsal plate…A plate of cartilage-like hardness lying along the edge of the eyelid
*Orbital septum... The wall that holds back orbital fat (the fat beneath the eyeball) to prevent it from protruding forward.
The Difference Between "Double Eyelid Surgery" and "Double Eyelid Suture Method"
Double eyelid surgery involves creating a double eyelid by making an incision in the skin. On the other hand, the non-incisional method forms a double eyelid by suturing the eyelid. While both procedures create a double eyelid, their benefits and considerations differ as outlined below. For those unsure which procedure to choose, we can recommend the most suitable option based on your eyelid and bone structure, your ideal double eyelid line, and your lifestyle. If you are uncertain, please feel free to consult with Bianca Clinic.
＜Double Eyelid Surgery＞
■Benefits
・High durability expected: Achieves long-lasting double eyelids
・Can address thick eyelids and sagging skin: During surgery, the condition of the skin, muscles, and fat around the eyes can be directly observed, allowing for the removal of unnecessary tissue.
■Important Notes
・Compared to the buried suture method, downtime tends to be longer, but swelling generally subsides somewhat by the time sutures are removed one week post-surgery.
・The final double eyelid width typically stabilizes within about one month and is usually fully developed around three months after surgery.
＜Double Buried Method＞
■Benefits
・Short downtime: Since only medical sutures are used to stitch the eyelid, scarring subsides within a few days.
・Accessible even for cosmetic procedure beginners: Short procedure time (around 10-20 minutes), and costs are relatively affordable depending on the technique. If you're concerned about the results, the original shape can be restored after the stitches are removed.
■Important Notes
・Long-term results may not be guaranteed in some cases, and the double eyelid line may become less defined if the suture knots come loose.
・In cases of non-surgical ptosis where the eye opening is severely impaired to the point of being difficult to manage, the buried suture method may further worsen the eye opening.
・May not be suitable for individuals with thick eyelids or significant skin laxity
The Difference Between "Double Eyelid Surgery" and "Brow Lift (Brow Lift Surgery)"
The primary methods for addressing upper eyelid drooping are the "double eyelid incision method" and the "brow lift." The brow lift (brow incision) is a procedure that removes sagging skin beneath the eyebrows to address upper eyelid drooping. We have summarized the eligibility criteria for each procedure. If you find it difficult to determine which is suitable for you, please consult Bianca Clinic.

Benefits
MERITCan maintain double eyelids for a long time
By creating double eyelids through incision, you can expect to maintain a distinct double eyelid line for a long time.
Even wide double eyelids or parallel double eyelids won't revert back.
This double eyelid surgery ensures the design remains permanent, even in cases where the double buried suture method was difficult to achieve or prone to fading due to eyelid thickness or bone structure.
Other eye treatments can also be performed simultaneously.
Depending on the doctor's judgment, certain eye procedures can be combined with double eyelid surgery. By carefully balancing the results, we can aim for a more ideal outcome.
Recommended Features
RECOMMENDED POINTSThe timing for considering double eyelid surgery
Double eyelid incision surgery is often considered for individuals whose double eyelids disappear quickly even after repeated埋没法 procedures, those concerned about asymmetry, or those whose double eyelid shape becomes unstable with age. Additionally, when eyelid skin is saggy or thick, the incision method—which can remove excess skin and fat—is frequently chosen. Many people try the埋没法 to test their ideal design while considering incision surgery in the future.
If any of these concerns sound familiar, you might want to consider double eyelid surgery as an option.
Precautions Before Double Eyelid Surgery
In double eyelid surgery, choosing the wrong width can lead to poor eye opening. If the double eyelid width is set too wide—such as 8 or 9 millimeters—despite being unsuitable for the eyelid thickness or bone structure, it may cause resistance between the eyelid and bone or risk creating a "ham-shaped eye"*.
Individual results may vary, but for most patients, a double eyelid width of approximately 6 to 7 millimeters achieved through the double eyelid incision method tends to produce a natural appearance. Performing the procedure with a width suited to the patient's eye area can improve the openness of the eyes. This may create the appearance of wide-open eyes by making the lash line more clearly visible.
At our clinic, we support each patient in achieving their ideal double eyelids while carefully considering the unique characteristics of their eyelids and bone structure.
*Ham-eye... a type of double eyelid where the skin between the double line and the lashes bulges out
Precautions During the Downtime Period for Double Eyelid Surgery
During the downtime following double eyelid surgery, proper self-care can help minimize pain and swelling. To reduce swelling, apply cold compresses to the eye area for the first three days after surgery. Keeping the eye area clean is also essential to prevent infection. If you have any concerns, please feel free to consult us.

Frequently Asked Questions About Double Eyelid Surgery
Q&ACan I undergo the incision method after having the buried method?
After removing the sutures from the buried suture method, it is possible to adjust the width and shape of the double eyelid using the incision method. This decision will be made after observing your postoperative progress and condition, so please come in for a consultation first. Considering the physical burden, multiple revision surgeries are not feasible. Please think carefully before surgery and make your decision cautiously.
If you're sensitive to pain, can you get intravenous anesthesia or general anesthesia?
During double eyelid surgery, we ask you to keep your eyes open both during and after the procedure to confirm the formation of a clean double eyelid line. Since falling asleep during surgery may prevent us from verifying the line, we typically perform the procedure using topical anesthetic eye drops and local anesthesia. While we take thorough measures to minimize discomfort, please consult us if you have any concerns.
Will the scars from double eyelid surgery fade?
For about 3 to 6 months, it will be noticeable if you look closely, but it will become less obvious over time. It won't disappear completely, but the scar should settle to a point where it's not noticeable.
How long does it take for the results of double eyelid surgery to stabilize?
It takes approximately six months for the condition to stabilize completely.
How long does swelling last after double eyelid surgery?
The swelling will subside within about one month. It will take approximately 3 to 6 months for the swelling to fully resolve.
Can I get double eyelid surgery while wearing eyelash extensions?
We can perform the treatment even with eyelash extensions in place, but they may come off during the procedure. Please be aware of this beforehand.
Can I work during the downtime after double eyelid surgery?
Generally, you can return to work the day after surgery. Downtime varies from person to person, but significant swelling should become less noticeable around one week post-op when sutures are removed. At the very latest, swelling tends to gradually subside within 10 days to 2 weeks after surgery.
Will the scar from double eyelid surgery be bumpy?
At our clinic, we perform surgery with careful consideration to prevent deep scar indentation. If you experience uneven scar texture, persistent puffiness, or lingering redness from double eyelid incision surgery, please consult with us.
