Partial Incision Double Eyelid Surgery
Partial incision double eyelid surgery combines small incisions with suture techniques to remove excess fat while creating a natural crease. This method offers a secure, long-lasting result with minimal scarring and a faster recovery than a full incision.
Who it suits
- Individuals who want a natural-looking double eyelid crease.
- Patients with excess eyelid fat who want to avoid a full incision.
- Those looking for a procedure with a faster recovery time than traditional surgery.
Technique highlights
- Combines the stability of the incision method with the natural look of the non-incision (suture) method.
- Minimal 1-3 small incisions allow for targeted fat and muscle removal.
- High-fixation knots reduce the likelihood of the eyelid crease becoming undone over time.
Surgical steps
- A specialized surgeon designs the eyelid crease line tailored to the patient's eye shape.
- Small incisions (1-3 points) are made on the eyelid.
- Excess fat or unnecessary muscle tissue is removed through the small openings.
- The skin and underlying tissues are securely fixed and knotted to create a lasting crease.
Recovery & aftercare
- Day 1-3: Return to light daily activities; expect some swelling.
- Day 7: Visit the clinic for stitch removal.
- 2-4 Weeks: Residual swelling subsides, and the eyelid crease settles into a more natural shape.
Risks & things to consider
- Post-operative complications such as bleeding, infection, or inflammation can occur depending on individual health conditions.
- There is a possibility of minor swelling and bruising, which varies by patient.
- Strict adherence to post-operative care instructions is required to ensure proper healing.
