01 — Overview

Double Eyelid Surgery

Double eyelid surgery creates a natural, defined upper-eyelid fold — by incisional or non-incisional method — making the eyes look brighter and more open.

A double fold makes eyes appear larger and more defined. The fold can be created with a non-incisional (suture) method for thin lids and quick recovery, or an incisional method for thicker lids and a permanent, precise result. The height and shape are designed to suit your eye and face.

02 — Approaches

Approaches we offer

The right approach depends on your structure and goals. At consultation, the surgeon determines which fits your case.

Non-Incisional (Suture) — Sutures create the fold with minimal swelling and fast recovery — ideal for thin lids.
Incisional — A precise incision creates a permanent, defined fold — suited to thicker lids or excess skin.
Partial Incision — A middle-ground method balancing recovery and durability.
With Epicanthoplasty — Combined with inner-corner work to lengthen the eye where wanted.

07 — FAQ

Common questions

Incisional or non-incisional — which suits me?

Thin lids with little excess skin suit the non-incisional method; thicker lids or excess skin suit incisional for a permanent result. The surgeon advises at consultation.

Will my fold look natural?

The height and shape are designed to suit your eye and face — natural is the default goal, not a dramatic look.

How long is recovery?

Plan about a week in Seoul for stitch removal; swelling settles over a few weeks.

Is it permanent?

The incisional method is permanent; non-incisional is long-lasting but can loosen over years.
