Eyelid Surgery
In addition to aesthetics, undergoing double eyelid surgery addresses issues like drooping eyelids that can make one look older and sometimes obstruct vision, prompting the need for this procedure. Double eyelid surgery is one of the most popular surgical enhancements, but there are various methods available. No single method is best for everyone; a skilled surgeon should be able to perform double eyelid surgery using any method and choose the best one for each individual. Let's explore the various techniques:

Short Incision Double Eyelid Technique
This involves a small 3-5 mm incision on the eyelid in cases where the patient does not have excessive skin or fat on the eyelid. This surgical method minimizes tissue disruption, resulting in very minimal post-operative swelling.

Long Incision Double Eyelid Technique
This technique involves a longer incision that allows for the design of the eyelid crease along its entire length. It is suitable for removing excess fat and sagging skin that obscures the eyelid. This technique can be used by individuals of all ages, including those who already have eyelid creases but want them to be more defined.

Eyebrow Lifting Technique
Typically, anyone can develop droopy eyebrows as they age, causing the eyelids to be obscured. Initially, the doctor assesses the cause and addresses it with an eyebrow lift, which may leave scars under or above the eyebrows or along the hairline. This procedure does not create new eyelid creases but enhances the visibility of existing ones.

Techniques for Resolving Under-Eye Bags
This involves an incision on the outside of the lower eyelid margin, ideal for individuals with significant under-eye fat and sagging skin, as it allows for the removal of both. However, this method may result in more visible scars and swelling, which gradually diminish over time.

Opening the Inner Corners of the Eyes
Eyelid surgery to open the inner corners of the eyes involves modifying the eyelid area to make the inner corners appear wider, making the eyelid crease more visible, and elongating the shape of the eyes. The crease looks more natural. However, if someone already has open inner corners, there is no need for this procedure.

Opening the Outer Corners of the Eyes
Outer corner eyelid surgery is performed on the side corners of the eyes to extend the outer corners. The technique uses a laser to cut and shape the outer corners to make them longer, and includes stitches to prevent the corners from closing again. This incision can extend 3-5 millimeters and is adjusted to make the eyes look beautiful and proportionate.

Surgery for Weak Eye Muscles
The surgery for weak eye muscles involves a deep incision into the muscle layer of the eye to adjust the lifting of the eyelid, often combined with double eyelid surgery. This is necessary to address issues where the upper eyelid covers the eye more than normal, giving a sleepy or lazy appearance, to achieve bright and round eyes.
