Double eyelid surgery: non-incision and incision

Private performs both the non-incision 'natural adhesion' technique with nine fixation points and the incision method. The non-incision takes about 20 minutes with stitches out in 3–4 days; the incision method takes 30–40 minutes with stitches out in 5–7 days.

Frequently asked questions

Does the non-incision method come undone easily?

The non-incision method does have a slightly higher chance of loosening than the incision method, but with careful technique and enough fixation points it holds well. The incision method leaves a scar when the eyes are closed, so the choice must fit each person's eyelid.

Can I choose the crease shape myself?

Yes. The team weighs your preference against what suits your current eyes aesthetically and recommends the best-matching design at consultation.

Will the incision scar be obvious?

No incision is scar-free, but with meticulous suturing a first-time patient is usually left with only a fine line when the eyes are closed after 3–5 months, easily covered with make-up.
