Small incision double eyes

Small incision double eyes: involves making a small incision in your eyes that provides natural-looking results. The unique characteristic of this technique is that the eyelid line appears fine and sharp without looking artificial, making it suitable for individuals who don’t have excessive eyelid skin.

The surgical method combines the benefits of both stitching and incision techniques. A small incision is made along the upper eyelid, and excess fat or unnecessary muscle is removed. Afterward, the incision is stitched closed.

This technique creates an incision about 1 cm long, allowing for the removal of fat and the reshaping of the eyelid to form a natural-looking double eyelid.

However, each person’s problems are different. You should consult an experienced doctor so that the doctor can assess and recommend the most appropriate surgical method for the best results.

Which type of double eyelid surgery is suitable for you?

There are two popular methods for double eyelid surgery: small incision blepharoplasty and long incision blepharoplasty.

Which one is right for you? Understanding your eyelid concerns and considering the surgical options is crucial to determine the most suitable approach for each individual. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages. A skilled surgeon should be able to perform both techniques and choose the best one for you. Let’s explore the pros and cons of small incision blepharoplasty and long incision blepharoplasty.

Small incision blepharoplasty

It is a surgery by injecting local anesthesia into the eyelid first. Then, an incision is made in the middle of the upper eyelid about 1-2 centimeters and excess fat is removed from the eyelid layer. Then, the eyelid layer is sewn. This surgery is less disruptive to the eyelid tissue, so there is less swelling.

The small incision blepharoplasty is suitable for younger people because the skin is tighter. Small incision blepharoplasty will help create a more natural eyelid. It can also solve problems in people with small eyelids, hidden eyelids, single eyelids, or uneven eyes.

The small incision blepharoplasty is effective for people with little fat in the eyelid and small eyes. It involves sewing the eyelids in 2-3 places, so the surgery takes less time than the long incision and only takes 30-45 minutes. The recovery period is short. After the surgery, you can go home immediately. The surgical wound is small and there is less swelling and bruising. The results will be clear in the 3rd-4th week after the surgery.

Who is it suitable for?

1. People whose eyelids and eyelid fat are not too much
2. Teenagers or people whose eyelid skin is not sagging.

Small incision blepharoplasty pros

1. A small scar that heals easily, as it is only 1-2 centimeters long on the eyelid. After surgery, there is almost no visible scar, only a natural eyelid fold.
2. The surgery takes a short time and causes minimal disruption to the eyelid tissue, resulting in less swelling afterwards. After surgery, you can live a normal life with almost no recovery time.
3. This technique is suitable for young people who don’t have much eyelid skin or thick eyelids because this method does not remove excess eyelid skin.

Small incision blepharoplasty cons

1. Individuals with severe drooping eyelids may notice that after surgery, the eyelid fold appears smaller, and the outer corners of the eyes remain saggy, even after the swelling from the incision has decreased.
2. People with very thick eyelids: This method will make the eyelid look more swollen than usual because it is done by sewing the eyelid up higher without removing excess skin and tissue. Therefore, if you have a lot of eyelid skin or are elderly with very sagging eyelids, the doctor will recommend a long incision method along with excess skin removal for a better and more beautiful result.

Long incision methods

It is a surgical procedure where the upper eyelid is incised from the inner corner to the outer corner to remove excess fat from the eyelid. In some cases, excess skin may also need to be removed before stitching the eyelid to create the desired double eyelid fold.

The long incision method is suitable for older individuals, as they tend to have deeper eye sockets and more sagging eyelid skin. The long incision allows for the removal of excess fat from the eyelids. It is also recommended for those with drooping outer eye corners or sagging eyelids that obstruct vision due to aging. This method helps to remove excess fat and, if necessary, excess skin, before stitching the eyelids to create a more balanced appearance. The surgery takes approximately 1 to 1.5 hours, with a recovery time of about 2 weeks due to swelling and bruising around the eyes. It will take about 1-2 months to see the full results. Patients should take good care of themselves after eyelid surgery.

Who is it suitable for?

1. People whose eyelids and eyelid fat are not too much
2. Teenagers or people whose eyelid skin is not sagging.

Long incision methods pros

1. It reduces the chance of having thick eyelid skin at the outer corners more effectively than small incision blepharoplasty (although if the eyelids are severely drooping, it may be harder to correct).
2. This method involves making a long incision, allowing for the removal of more fat, especially in individuals with excess fat in the eyelids. Even in cases of younger individuals whose eyelids do not have sagging, this technique can still be used.

Long incision methods cons

1. Swelling and bruising can be more severe and last longer, and the scars are more visible.
2. Similar to the small incision blepharoplasty, this technique is not suitable for individuals with excessive fat and thick eyelids. While it can remove some fat, it doesn’t remove excess skin. Therefore, in cases with drooping eyelids or significant sagging, the existing eyelid skin will still droop down and cover the eyelid fold, making the double eyelid less visible.

In conclusion, whether to choose a small incision blepharoplasty or a long incision blepharoplasty, you should consult the surgeon who will perform the surgery. The surgeon will help assess the eye structure, diagnose the problem, and help design the eyelid crease best technique is suitable for you

Full incision double eyes

In cases where the eyelids have excess fat, thick skin, or excess muscle, the incision method is typically used to create double eyelids.

The long and full incision methods (Full Incisional Blepharoplasty) open the eyes, making them appear larger by enhancing both the length and width. The result is a more defined eyelid crease that is not hidden. The advantage of this method is that the surgeon can accurately position the eye muscle layer, remove excess skin, and eliminate fat at the same time. It is ideal for individuals with significant excess skin or those who desire clear, beautiful eyelids along the eyelid line.

However, each person’s problems are different. You should consult an experienced doctor so that the doctor can assess and recommend the most appropriate surgical method for the best results.

What are celebrity eyes?

Celebrity Eyes is a surgical procedure that uses a laser to open the wound so that it is small and bleeds less. It also uses a camera (microscopic) to suture the muscles to define the eyelid, correcting drooping eyes, and sunken eyelids. For the Celebrity Eyes technique, the wound is small so there is no need for stitches or to remove stitches. After surgery, some patients can put on makeup and go about their normal daily activities.
