Double Eyelid Surgery

Eyelid surgeries enhance the beauty and visual attractiveness of your face.
With Braun’s extensive skill, we ensure a natural balance and harmony,

What is Eye surgery?

"Eye plastic surgery is divided into two types: double eyelid surgery, which makes the eyes look bigger and clearer,
and anti-aging procedures.
To achieve beautifully balanced eyes, procedures such as double eyelid surgery, ptosis correction,
canthoplasty, and transconjunctival fat repositioning can be performed together if needed.
Anti-aging eye surgery include endoscopic forehead lift, sub-brow lift, upper blepharoplasty, lower
blepharoplasty, and under eye fat repositioning.

What is Double Eyelid Surgery?

There are two methods for double eyelid surgery: incision and non-incision. This procedure creates a
crease on the eyelid by forming adhesions.
Double eyelid creases can be classified into four types: in-line, in-outline, semi-outline, and outline.
Additional procedures may be combined to achieve the desired eye shape, and ptosis correction is
performed based on an individual’s eyelid opening strength.

Surgical Method

Non-incision double eyelid surgery (natural adhesion)

An adhesion line is created by threading sutures through 5 to 12 tiny openings, tying together the
underlying tissues and muscles. These small openings help achieve a natural-looking result without
visible scarring. Braun's non-incision double eyelid method secures the eyelid with sutures while also
creating skin adhesion, resulting in a natural but more stable and long-lasting result.

Ideal candidates for surgery: teens~20’s, thin eyelids that do not droop

Design a line with the ideal
height and shape for the
face.

Remove excess fat through
small incisions above the
eyes to induce natural
adhesion between the
skin and levator muscles.

Use a thread to connect the
inner and outer parts of the
eyelid.

Achieve natural-looking eyes
with visible scarring!

Incisional Double Eyelid Surgery

Fine incisions on the desired double eyelid line can be used to create wider and more stable adhesions, resulting in beautiful and long-lasting effects. Braun's incisional double eyelid surgery creates a naturally beautiful double eyelid crease using small incisions, eliminating the need for excess skin removal that could lead to scarring. Additionally, incisional double eyelid surgery is performed for more complex procedures, such as redistributing eyelid fat to enhance the appearance of sunken eyes caused by a lack of fat above the eyes.

Ideal candidates for surgery: thick skin, droopy eyes, excess eyelid fat, revision surgery

Design a crease with the
ideal height and shape for
the face.

After the incision, excess fat
and muscle will be removed,
if necessary.

Use a thread to connect the
inner and outer parts of the
eyelid.

Achieve clear and defined
eyes!

Types of Creases for Double Eyelids

The shape of your eye determines the shape of your double eyelid, and you can choose the desired crease line.

Surgeries that go well together: Endoscopic forehead lifting that simultaneously improves eye shape, forehead wrinkles, and even the droopy eyelids.

What is an Endoscopic forehead lift?

If the distance between the eyes and the brows is narrow, the upper part of the eyes appears thick or crowded. As we age, the forehead loses elasticity and sags, naturally producing forehead wrinkles as well as wrinkles around the eyebrows, eyelids, brows, and eyes.
At this point, a tiny incision is made on the side of the hairline, and the forehead is then dissected and pulled.
This procedure can reduce aging and sagging in the upper portion of the face. Even when an endoscopic forehead lift is performed alone or combined with double eyelid surgery, a softer appearance and a younger face can still be achieved.

Make 3 to 5 small incisions inside the hairline so that no scars are visible.

The FULL HD endoscope
will be used to confirm the
position of the nerves and
blood vessels before gently
dissecting the sagging
forehead.

Place the endotine in the
deep fascia or the skull,
pull the drooping forehead, and secure it.

Achieve a youthful result by
improving the wrinkles
between the brows, around
the eyes, and on the eyelids.

FAQ

How long does the swelling last after eyelid surgery?

Swelling and recovery vary for each person, but major swelling typically lasts about

1 to 2 weeks. Most people can return to normal daily activities within three to four

days after surgery. Healing speeds up once the stitches are removed, with full

recovery expected in about a month.

Does the buried suture method work?

The chances of surgical failure are minimal when the proper technique is applied,

considering the patient's unique features. However, if the skin is thick and has

excess fat, an incision method is recommended.

When can I wash my face or apply makeup?

Avoid getting water on your eyes after surgery until the stitches are removed. Once

they are taken out, you can gently wash your face. Apply makeup one month after

the surgery.

How old do you have to be to get double eyelid surgery?

Double eyelid surgery is typically possible after the age of 15. However, if significant

manipulation or invasive procedures are required, it's recommended to wait until the

patient is 19, when growth is fully complete, before undergoing the surgery.

Will I experience pain after double eyelid surgery?

After the anesthesia wears off, you may experience some pain, but it is more of a

discomfort than pain. The medication prescribed by the clinic should help manage

the discomfort and pain.

Is a revision possible after an incision method surgery?

Revision surgery is generally possible, but it's recommended to wait about 6 months

to assess the results of the first surgery before planning a revision.
