What is Double Eyelid Surgery?


Double eyelid surgery is a procedure performed on individuals with a monolid to create an eyelid crease, for both functional and aesthetic reasons. The shape and size of the double eyelid crease should be carefully tailored to each individual. Choosing the appropriate crease shape, height, and surgical technique based on your unique eye characteristics is essential for achieving natural-looking results.

Natural Adhesion Double Eyelid Surgery at LABOM

This technique involves a micro-incision of approximately 2 mm, through which the levator palpebrae superioris muscle (the primary muscle that lifts the eyelid) is directly attached to the skin to create a natural-looking double eyelid crease.

Using the patient’s own tissue (muscle adhesion technique), this method provides a stable and natural result.

It is highly recommended for those with thin eyelids and minimal skin sagging, as it offers many advantages in such cases.

01

Because the muscle is directly dissected and adhered and fixed to the skin, the line does not come undone and swelling subsides quickly.

02

Since soft muscle tissue is used instead of a stiff suture, a natural and soft double eyelid line is formed.

03

As the upper eyelid muscle is manipulated, a natural ptosis correction effect can be achieved simultaneously.

04

If necessary, ptosis correction and eyelid fat removal can be performed at the same time.
