Korean-style small-incision double eyelid surgery is suitable for those with no obvious sagging or epicanthal folds, but who wish to increase the stability of the double eyelid crease, or whose eyelids are not entirely suitable for simple suture-based double eyelid surgery. Compared to traditional full-incision double eyelid surgery, this procedure does not require cutting along the entire double eyelid crease. Instead, a small incision of about 10-15 mm is designed above the pupil, at the location where the double eyelid mainly bears weight. This local incision establishes a more stable tissue connection, and then, depending on the individual's eye shape, sutures are used at the inner or outer corner of the eye for fixation, resulting in a more complete double eyelid curve.
Advantages of Pumei Double Eyelid Surgery
Double eyelid surgery can be broadly categorized based on eyelid condition and surgical method.stitching及CutDouble eyelid surgery. If you wish to increase the stability of your double eyelids without a full incision, a doctor can assess your options for "Korean-style small incision double eyelid surgery." This involves making a small incision to strengthen the central crease, and then adjusting the suturing at the inner or outer corner of the eye based on your eye shape. If you have significant eyelid laxity, excessive fat, or need to remove excess skin, an incisional double eyelid surgery may be more suitable.
In addition to the Korean-style small incision double eyelid surgery, Pumei also offers surgical methods such as "six-point fixation suture method", "multi-point suspension suture method" and "staple double eyelid". Since everyone's eyelid thickness, fat amount, degree of laxity, levator palpebrae superioris function and ideal eye shape are different, the actual surgical method, double eyelid width and arc still need to be evaluated by the doctor according to the individual conditions and facial proportions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between Korean-style small incision double eyelid surgery and suture double eyelid surgery?
A: Korean-style small incision double eyelid surgery involves designing a small incision at an important fixation point along the double eyelid crease. This incision method strengthens tissue fixation, and then adjustments are made according to the eye shape. Compared to simply suturing the double eyelid, the fixation method is more diverse, and some eyelid tissue can be treated as needed.
Q: What is the difference between Korean-style small incision double eyelid surgery and surgical double eyelid surgery?
A: The biggest difference lies in the incision area. The Korean-style small incision does not require cutting along the entire double eyelid crease, so the incision area is smaller; double eyelid surgery is more suitable for people with significant skin laxity, epicanthal folds, or those who need more tissue adjustment.
Q: Who is suitable for Korean-style small incision double eyelid surgery?
A: This method is more suitable for those without significant excess skin or whose eyelids are not entirely suitable for simple suture-based double eyelid surgery. However, a doctor still needs to assess the eyelid thickness, amount of fat, degree of laxity, and levator palpebrae superioris function before the surgery.
Pre- and post-operative care for Korean-style small incision double eyelid surgery
Preoperative preparation
- Since everyone's preference for eye shape and double eyelids is subjective, and the surgical methods suitable for each individual are different, it is recommended that you prepare photos of your preferred double eyelid templates before consulting with a doctor in person. This will allow the doctor to better understand the patient's expectations and needs for double eyelid surgery during the consultation, and will also greatly improve the efficiency of communication.
- When consulting about double eyelid surgery, please note that you should not wear makeup, double eyelid tape, or colored contact lenses (such as colored contact lenses or photochromic lenses). This will allow the doctor to assess and plan the surgery based on your natural double eyelid condition. If you have high myopia, you can wear clear contact lenses during the consultation to clearly see the doctor's simulation.
Postoperative repair
- Double eyelid surgery is performed under local anesthesia. Because the eyes need to be open during the surgery so that the doctor can confirm the symmetry of the eyes, patients can usually go home after a short rest and applying ice after the surgery.
- After double eyelid surgery, the nursing staff will immediately assist with applying ice packs. After returning home, be sure to apply ice packs frequently to reduce postoperative bleeding and swelling, which will also help shorten the recovery period.
- After double eyelid surgery, it is essential to maintain a normal daily routine and develop good hygiene habits. Avoid smoking, drinking alcohol, and consuming spicy or irritating foods. Also, avoid lifting heavy objects to prevent affecting wound healing.
