Double Eyelid Surgery procedure

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.

What aspects of the eye can be altered?

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:


  • The eyelid crease
  • The eyelid contour
  • The upper eyelid skin
  • The amount of fat or tissue in the eyelids


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:


  • Natural crease
  • High crease
  • Moderate crease


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:



  • Creating or enhancing the eyelid crease
  • Adjusting the eyelid shape and symmetry
  • Removing excess skin or fat
  • Refining the overall contour of the upper eyelid for a more youthful, balanced look.
