The pursuit of refined beauty and bespoke individual designs
Glamorous Line Formation, which creates a droopy-eyed look by incising the lower eyelid, is an extremely delicate procedure where even a millimeter-level incision can dramatically alter the impression. Excessively lowering the lower eyelid to emphasize the droopy effect risks creating a "three-white-eye" appearance where the white of the eye shows beneath the iris, resulting in unintended design or an unnatural finish. Therefore, it demands precise adjustments in increments as small as 0.1mm and highly skilled design judgment to assess the overall balance.
At Bianca Clinic, procedures are performed by physicians with deep anatomical knowledge and extensive clinical experience. Through thorough consultations, we carefully discuss your ideal eye shape and desired droopiness, proposing a meticulously tailored design that considers your overall facial balance. Furthermore, we strive not only for beautiful results but also to alleviate concerns about downtime and discomfort. We are committed to patient-centered care, so if you have any concerns about your eye area, please feel free to consult with us.

CHARACTERISTICSGlamorous Line Formation (Lower Eyelid Augmentation)
Glamorous Line Formation is a cosmetic procedure that involves making an incision in the lower eyelid and adjusting the line downward to create a softer, droopy-eyed impression. Its formal name is lower eyelid ptosis correction surgery, but it is also referred to as glamorous line formation, lower eyelid enlargement surgery, or lower eyelid expansion surgery.
The glamorous line procedure primarily targets the area from the center of the lower eyelid to the outer corner. By lowering the curve in this section, it creates a droopy-eyed effect while also expanding the visible area of the sclera and iris, making the eyes appear larger. This makes it a popular choice for those with upturned eyes that appear harsh, those seeking a cute look, or those wanting wide-open eyes.
The physician will appropriately select either a conjunctival incision or a skin incision based on the condition of the eye area.
The procedures for creating a glamorous line include the tacking method, which uses threads to pull down the lower eyelid, and the incision method, which involves cutting the mucous membrane or skin. While both methods have advantages and disadvantages, Bianca Clinic employs the incision method, which allows for easier adjustment of the degree of change and offers more lasting results.
One type of incision method, the conjunctival incision, involves accessing the area from the inner side of the eyelid. This makes the scar less visible from the outside, making it suitable for those who prefer to keep their procedure discreet. Another major advantage of the conjunctival incision is that it does not require suture removal. While our clinic primarily performs procedures using the conjunctival incision method, we may opt for a skin incision (requiring suture removal) when approached from the outside. This is necessary for patients with skin laxity, those requiring excess skin removal, or individuals prone to ingrown eyelashes. After carefully examining each patient's eye area, the attending physician will propose the most suitable surgical method for them.
Natural finish and highly flexible design
Glamorous Line Formation is also known for its high design flexibility. For instance, you can precisely specify and adjust the position and extent of the lower eyelid lift—such as lowering only the outer corner or from the center to the outer corner—along with fine-tuning details like the outer corner curve and the line's angle of inclination. Even minor adjustments of about 0.1mm can significantly alter the eye area's impression. This allows for a customized result tailored to your preferences, ranging from subtle changes to dramatic transformations.
Additionally, combining procedures such as lateral canthoplasty, double eyelid surgery, and tear trough augmentation can help achieve a more ideal eye area.

RECOMMENDED POINTSPost-Treatment Progress and How to Spend Your Downtime
The main downtime symptoms that appear after glamorous line formation include pain, swelling, and bruising. While the manifestation and duration of symptoms vary from person to person, swelling typically lasts a few days and bruising often persists for about 10 days. Both gradually subside over time. To minimize discomfort and avoid worsening downtime symptoms, it is important to follow your doctor's instructions for proper care and rest as much as possible.
On the day of your procedure, please shower only from the neck down, taking care not to get your face or incision site wet. Bathing is permitted starting on the third day after surgery. Activities that promote blood circulation, such as saunas or strenuous exercise, may intensify symptoms like swelling or bruising, so please refrain from these. Regarding makeup: - For conjunctival incisions, you may resume makeup application the day after your procedure. - For skin incisions, you may resume makeup application the day after your stitches are removed. However, please take great care around the incision site.
The duration and recommended activities during downtime may vary depending on the procedure and individual recovery.
The Difference Between Creating a Glamorous Line and Outer Canthoplasty
Both glamorous line formation and lateral canthoplasty are procedures that can alter the size and overall appearance of the eye area, but they differ in the specific areas they target and the expected outcomes.
Glamorous Line Formation is a procedure that lowers the curve from the center of the lower eyelid to the outer corner. This increases the exposure of the whites and irises of the eye, creating a wide-eyed look while also forming a gentle, droopy-eyed impression.
On the other hand, lateral canthoplasty is a procedure that involves making an incision at the outer corner of the eye. This can widen the eye's horizontal width, creating a more elongated and sharp-looking eye shape.
Both procedures create significantly different post-operative atmospheres. For those seeking a cute or gentle impression, glamorous line formation is recommended, while those preferring a cool impression should consider outer canthoplasty. It's crucial to select the procedure best suited to your desired image and ideal eye appearance. Additionally, for those aiming for larger, more striking eyes, we can propose droopy outer canthoplasty (droopy eye formation), a hybrid procedure combining outer canthoplasty and glamorous line formation. This allows us to pursue a design closer to your ideal while considering the overall balance of your eye area. Please come in for a consultation first to discuss in detail what kind of change you desire.
Combining glamorous line formation with dark circle treatment is also possible
For those seeking to transform their eye area while maintaining a youthful appearance, combining glamorous line formation with dark circle treatment is an option. Creating droopy eyes through glamorous line formation creates a softer impression. Furthermore, combining this with dark circle treatment aims for a brighter, more striking eye area. Additionally, depending on the patient's eye area condition, glamorous line formation can sometimes cause the lower eyelid to droop, making dark circles more noticeable. For such individuals, combining dark circle treatment is also suitable.
Our clinic offers various dark circle treatments, including transconjunctival fat removal, the Hamra procedure, and the reverse Hamra procedure. Depending on the physician's assessment, some procedures can be performed simultaneously, allowing us to efficiently and comprehensively help you achieve beautiful eyes. We provide customized treatments tailored to each patient's concerns, requests, budget, and lifestyle.

Frequently Asked Questions About Lower Eyelid Augmentation (Lower Blepharoplasty)
Q&AWhen can I take a shower after the treatment?
Showering is permitted starting the day of your treatment, provided you avoid the treated area and only wash from the neck down. For your face, please cleanse using a wipe-off method or similar technique to avoid getting it wet.
When can I apply makeup after the treatment?
Makeup can be applied starting the day of your procedure. Eye makeup is also acceptable as long as it is not heavy. However, if skin excision was performed, sutures are typically removed around one week after the procedure, and makeup can be applied starting the day after suture removal.
When can I start wearing contact lenses after the procedure?
You may begin using it starting on the 7th day after the procedure. Please be careful not to touch the wound.
Is there a risk of reverting to the original state after forming the Glamorous Line?
Glamorous line formation through incision surgery is considered a procedure with minimal risk of reversal, as it involves physically altering the area using a scalpel. However, in rare cases, the skin at the incision site may attempt to return to its original state, potentially causing adhesions. At our clinic, we carefully consider these risks and strive to perform each procedure meticulously, tailored to the individual's specific condition.
Is the Glamorous Line procedure painful?
Our Glamorous Line procedure uses topical and local anesthesia, so you will experience virtually no pain during the treatment. If you have concerns about discomfort, we also offer sedation anesthesia or nitrous oxide anesthesia. Please feel free to discuss this with your doctor.
Where can I view before-and-after photos of glamorous line formation?
You can view before-and-after photos of Glamorous Line procedures on Bianca Clinic's official website or Instagram. Please take a look if you are considering the procedure or seeking design references.
Does the Glamorous Line procedure require in-office visits?
For mucosal incisions, follow-up visits are generally not required. However, if a skin incision was made, you will need to return to the clinic approximately one week after the procedure to have the stitches removed.
Will pain medication and antibiotics be prescribed after the procedure?
Yes, we prescribe pain medication and antibiotics (oral and eye drops) after surgery.
