Incisional double eyelid
Incisional double eyelid surgery is a popular procedure designed to create or enhance the appearance of an eyelid crease. This surgical technique is ideal for those with thicker eyelid skin or more fatty tissue, offering a permanent solution for a defined eyelid crease.
What is Incisional Double Eyelid Surgery ?
Also known as Asian blepharoplasty, this procedure involves making an incision along the eyelid to remove a small amount of skin and fat. By creating a fold, the surgeon can shape the upper eyelid, providing a more open, larger appearance of the eyes, which is often considered aesthetically desirable in many parts of Asia.

F.A.Q.
Incisional double eyelid surgery involves making a full cut along the eyelid to remove excess skin and fat, creating a permanent eyelid crease. This method is suitable for individuals with thicker eyelids and more fatty tissue. Non-incisional surgery, on the other hand, involves small punctures where sutures are used to form a crease. It is less invasive and suitable for those with thinner eyelids.
As with any surgical procedure, there are risks involved, including infection, bleeding, and an adverse reaction to anesthesia. Specific risks related to incisional double eyelid surgery include asymmetry, scarring, and temporary changes in eyelid sensation. Choosing a skilled and experienced surgeon can minimize these risks.
ncisional techniques do leave a scar, but it is typically hidden within the natural fold of the eyelid and becomes less noticeable over time as it heals.
