What is double eyelid surgery?
Although the eyelid is very thin, various tissues (skin,
muscle, fat, eyelahes, the conjunctiva) are composed in it. The elevator muscles
are the ones that help open the eyes and it is usually attached to the eyelid
board. The parts of the muscle tissues are attached to the back of the skin of
the eyelid and the skin attached is raised, then a double eyelid is made.
For most Westerners, parts of the elevator muscle of the upper eyelid are
attached to the back skin, While for Asians, it is not and the natural double
eyelid is rare. Typical Asian eyes have no double eyelid, but a small height
with strong tension of Mongolian folds. So this makes the eyes look stuffy
compared with the eyes of the Westerner’s eyes.
There are three general methods, the complete incision method (incision), partly cutting (partial incision), and cutting for only the needle to enter(buried suture method). From any among them, we must connect a part of the elevator muscle of the upper eyelid to the eyelid. There are merits and demerits respectively and it should be determined by enough consultation through considering the length and size of the eyes, thickness of the skin, power to open eyes, quantity of fat, Mongolian folds and so on. Recently, the complex operation, Magic epicanthoplasty combined with double eyelid surgery, dramatically improves the Mongolian folds and connects the eyelid with the levator muscle of the upper eyelid. This must be the fundamental step for plastic surgery of the eyes. If considering the correlation between the Mongolian fold and the double eyelid, it can make effective and dramatic results.

Examples) Structural double eyelid surgery combined with the
Magic epicanthoplasty and double eyelid surgery
Examples) Forming an inner type of double eyelid and
increased exposure of pupil by ptosis correction and a double eyelid surgery.
After surgery, the position of eyebrow previously lifted has been brought down
significantly.
Examples) Performing only double eyelid surgery on these kinds of eyes renders them have in-folder type eyelids
