Double eyelid surgery enhances the appearance of your eyes by creating a more defined and expressive eyelid shape.
The eyes are a central feature that greatly impacts your overall appearance, often being the first thing people notice. At Arc Plastic Surgery in Apgujeong, Seoul, Dr. Kwon Soon Beom specializes in double eyelid surgery to create more defined and expressive eyelids, enhancing the balance and youthfulness of your face.
A double eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, can be performed to create a more defined eyelid crease or to address asymmetry. Whether you're seeking the procedure for aesthetic reasons or to enhance the appearance of your eyes, Dr. Kwon Soon Beom's 15 years of experience in eyelid surgery ensures he provides natural and harmonious results tailored to your unique features.
Dr. Kwon offers double eyelid surgery to address various concerns, including:
If you're experiencing any of these concerns, double eyelid surgery may be the ideal solution for you.
The double eyelid surgery procedure is performed under local anesthesia with sedation for your comfort. Once you are relaxed, Dr. Kwon will begin by marking the planned incision, either along the eyelid crease or within the natural fold, depending on the technique chosen. The skin and tissue are carefully lifted to access the underlying structures, allowing precise adjustments to create a defined and natural eyelid crease.
If additional concerns were discussed during your consultation, such as addressing excess skin or fat, those may be addressed simultaneously. Dr. Kwon may also make adjustments to ensure symmetry and balance for a more youthful and refreshed look.
Upon completing the procedure, the incisions will be closed with fine, delicate sutures. A light bandage may be applied to support the area and reduce swelling. Cool packs will also be provided to minimize bruising and ensure your comfort during recovery.
The eyes are composed of various components, often referred to as "eyelid units," that can be altered through double eyelid surgery. The primary eyelid units frequently modified during surgery include:
Addressing these eyelid units typically involves reshaping the eyelid tissues and adjusting the underlying muscle structure. For example, the eyelid crease is created by the connection of the skin to the underlying muscle, and its placement and shape can vary based on the individual's eye anatomy.
Common eyelid crease shapes include:
Double eyelid surgery focuses on defining or enhancing the eyelid crease, creating a more open and youthful appearance. This adjustment can also subtly raise the eyelid, particularly for individuals with hooded eyelids or those seeking more prominent, well-defined eyes.
Additional techniques to enhance the eyelid definition include the removal of excess fat or skin and the use of sutures to refine the shape. Sutures can be placed to create a more defined crease or to adjust the overall symmetry of the eyelids.
Full eyelid surgery involves addressing not only the eyelid crease but also the surrounding structures. Common procedures performed during double eyelid surgery include:

Recovery typically takes 1-2 weeks, during which time you may experience swelling and bruising. Most people can return to work or school after about 7-10 days, but full recovery may take several months for all swelling to subside.
Yes, the goal of double eyelid surgery is to create a natural-looking result that enhances your unique features. Dr. Kwon will tailor the procedure to ensure that the eyelid crease is in harmony with the shape of your eyes and face.
As with any surgery, there are risks, such as infection, scarring, and asymmetry. However, these risks are minimal when the surgery is performed by an experienced surgeon. Dr. Kwon will discuss potential risks and provide guidance to minimize complications.
