Which double eyelid line suits Me?
In-line
The eyelid crease starts from the inner corner of the eye and creates a natural, subtle appearance that gives a clean and innocent impression. It is well-suited for deep-set eyes.
In-out line
The eyelid crease starts from the inner corner and gradually widens toward the outer part of the eye. It is slightly higher than an in-line and creates a more open, refreshed eye shape.
Semi out-line
The eyelid crease does not connect to the inner corner of the eye. It is lower than an out-line but more defined than an in-out line, creating a clear and noticeable look without being overwhelming.
Out-line
The crease starts outside the inner corner and is clearly defined, creating a sharp and striking appearance with the most dramatic impression. It is suitable for protruding eye shapes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is incisional double eyelid surgery?
It is a procedure that makes an incision along the planned eyelid line and removes an appropriate amount of excess fat, muscle, and skin to create a clear, defined crease with a natural-looking result.
Who is this surgery usually recommended for?
It is commonly recommended if your eyelids are thick, have excess fat, show significant sagging, need a redefined eyelid line, or have severe ptosis.
How long does the surgery take, and what is recovery like?
The procedure usually takes about 40 minutes to 1 hour. Sutures are removed after 7 days, recovery is about 2 weeks, anesthesia is sedation with local anesthesia, and follow-up visits are typically needed 2 times.
What kinds of double eyelid lines can I choose from?
The options shown are in-line, in-out line, semi out-line, and out-line. In-line gives a subtle and clean look, in-out line gradually widens for a more open shape, semi out-line gives a defined look without being too strong, and out-line creates the sharpest and most dramatic impression.
How is the procedure done step by step?
It starts with a 1:1 customized design for the height and shape of the line. Then an incision is made, unnecessary tissue such as excess fat, muscle, connective tissue, and skin is removed, the skin is fixed to the tarsal plate, the area is delicately sutured, and the final double eyelid line is completed.
What makes the result last longer?
The line is created by directly fixing the dermis, muscle, and tarsal plate, which gives the crease a very low risk of loosening and helps create a long-lasting result.
Will my double eyelids look unnatural if I choose the incisional method?
Not necessarily. With proper customization of the design and fixation points based on your anatomical structure, the incisional method can still create a natural-looking double eyelid.
Will there be noticeable scars after surgery?
Not always. Scarring depends a lot on the surgical technique and suturing method. Early on, the scar may be visible, but after about 6 months, once healing and scar maturation are complete, it typically fades into a faint crease along the eyelid line.
What results can I expect from this surgery?
You can expect a clear and refreshed double eyelid line with minimal risk of loosening, improvement in thick or sagging eyelids through skin and fat removal, and an eye shape designed to harmonize with your face.
Can this surgery be combined with other eye procedures?
Yes. It can be combined with ptosis correction, and the examples shown also include combinations with epicanthoplasty or upper eyelid canthoplasty.
Are there any cautions or possible side effects I should know about?
Yes. Results can vary from person to person, and side effects such as bleeding and infection may occur.
