Incision double eyelid
An incision is made on the line designed by the doctor. Any excess skin, fat, and muscle tissues may be excised if necessary. The skin is stitched together so that the scar is hidden inside the double eyelid crease. The disadvantage of this method is that the scar may be visible during recovery and the recovery period is longer than the non-incision method.

FAQ
How much does incisional double eyelid surgery cost in Korea?
The cost for incisional double eyelid surgery in Korea typically ranges from ₩2,500,000 to ₩5,000,000. Prices can vary depending on the clinic and complexity of the procedure. The incisional method is generally more expensive than the non-incisional method because of its more invasive nature and the lasting results it provides.
What is the recovery time for incisional double eyelid surgery?
The recovery time for incisional double eyelid surgery is longer than the non-incisional method. Initial swelling and bruising can last for about 1 to 2 weeks. Full recovery, where all swelling subsides and the final results are apparent, can take 3 to 6 months. The healing process involves the incision lines fading and the tissue settling into its new shape.
Where is the incision for double eyelid surgery?
The incision is made along the new eyelid crease line that the surgeon plans to create. This incision allows the surgeon to remove excess skin, fat, and muscle. The placement of the incision ensures that the resulting scar is concealed within the new eyelid crease, making it less noticeable over time.
How long does incisional double eyelid surgery last?
The incisional double eyelid surgery is long-lasting, often considered permanent. While natural aging will continue to affect the eyelid area over time, the double eyelid fold created by incisional surgery usually remains intact for many decades. Some patients may require revision or additional procedures later in life, but the initial results are designed to last.
What foods should I avoid after double eyelid surgery?
After double eyelid surgery, it is recommended to avoid certain foods to promote optimal healing. Try to avoid eating too many salty and spicy foods, as they can increase swelling. Stay hydrated and eat foods rich in vitamin C and protein to help support tissue repair and reduce inflammation.
