Double eyelid surgery

Double eyelid surgery or eyelid surgery.

Eyelid surgery is a beautiful and safe eye cosmetic surgery in today's modern society. Double eyelid is indicated for people who have single eyelids, droopy eyelids or congenital and desire natural beautiful double eyelids or bigger eyelids and gorgeous eyes.

Miss Ky Duyen and doctor Chiem Quoc Thai shared about cosmetic eyelid surgery.

Double eyelid surgery creates new eyelids based on the upper edge of the upper tarsal plate, instead of creating an entire new double fold like in traditional eyelid surgery methods.

Therefore, the new double fold line will be very thin and fit the congenital anatomy, giving natural looking eyelids as if no eyelid surgery has been done.

What is the procedure of double eyelid surgery?.

1. The surgeon draws a line along the fold of the upper eyelids. 

2. The surgeon makes an incision at the drawn line before. 

3. Orbicularis oculi, excess eyelid fat will be partially removed.

4. The eyelid will be sutured with a very thin line between the skin and the upper border of tarsal plate.

Post-operative care.

- The surgical suture will be removed after 5 or 7 days.

- Eyelids can swell for the first two days after surgery, you should use the ice pack 4 or 6 times in 24 hours per day to reduce swelling.

- You should limit strenuous work within 1 week and after 2 weeks you can do exercise.
