01 — Overview

Incisional Double Eyelid

The incisional method creates a permanent, clearly defined double fold — ideal for thicker eyelids, excess skin, or when a lasting result is the priority.

An incision along the planned fold line allows the surgeon to adjust skin, fat and muscle precisely, then form a fold that holds permanently. It suits thicker lids and excess skin that a suture method cannot reliably address, and can be combined with ptosis correction for a brighter eye.

02 — Approaches

Approaches we offer

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

  • Standard Incisional — A full incision forms a precise, permanent fold.
  • With Fat Adjustment — Excess fat is refined for a cleaner lid where needed.
  • With Ptosis Correction — Combined to lift a drooping lid for a brighter eye.
  • Revision Incisional — Reforming a fold that has loosened or become uneven.

How your case is handled

Surgeon-led analysisYour structure, proportion and goals are assessed directly by the surgeon — with 3D imaging where helpful.
Balance over volumeThe plan considers natural facial harmony — never a one-size template.
Surgeon-performed, start to finishThe surgeon who consults you performs your surgery — never delegated.
Natural, lasting resultStability and long-term outcome are planned so the result settles naturally and lasts.

"Every result is designed, not duplicated. We plan around your face and structure — for a result that looks like you, only refined."

07 — FAQ

Common questions

Why choose incisional over suture?
It gives a permanent, precise fold and handles thick lids or excess skin that sutures cannot reliably hold.
Will the scar show?
The incision sits in the fold line, so it is concealed when the eye is open.
Can it be combined with ptosis correction?
Yes — combining lifts a drooping lid for a brighter, more open eye.
How long is recovery?
Plan about a week for stitch removal; swelling settles over a few weeks, final fold over months.
