Introduction
Under normal circumstances, double eyelid surgery methods include suture double eyelid surgery, full-incision double eyelid blepharoplasty, Korean-style three-point double eyelid surgery, fixed-point double eyelid blepharoplasty, and minimally invasive double eyelid surgery. It is recommended to visit a reputable hospital and undergo the procedure under the guidance of a qualified physician to ensure the safety and reliability of the surgery. Postoperatively, it is important to keep the eye area clean and dry.
Generally, double eyelid surgery methods include the buried suture technique, full incision blepharoplasty, Korean-style three-point double eyelid surgery, spot-fixation blepharoplasty, and minimally invasive double eyelid surgery. Detailed descriptions are as follows:
1. Buried Suture Technique
The buried suture technique creates adhesion between the upper eyelid skin and the tarsal plate by inserting sutures into the eyelid, thereby forming a double eyelid crease. The general reference price for this procedure is 2000-6000 RMB per session. Noticeable improvement is typically seen within 1-3 months, although symptoms such as swelling and pain may occur.
2. Full Incision Blepharoplasty
Full incision blepharoplasty involves making an incision along the designed double eyelid line, removing an appropriate amount of skin, orbicularis oculi muscle, and orbital fat, then attaching the eyelid skin to the tarsal plate at the desired height to create the double eyelid crease. The general reference price for this procedure is 3000-10000 RMB per session. Noticeable improvement is typically seen within 2-3 months, although complications such as bleeding and infection may occur.
3. Korean-Style Three-Point Double Eyelid Surgery
Korean-style three-point double eyelid surgery involves making three small incisions on the upper eyelid, removing a small amount of fat and orbicularis oculi muscle, and forming adhesion between the skin and the tarsal plate through suturing to create a double eyelid. The general reference price for this procedure is 3000-8000 RMB per session. Noticeable improvement is typically seen within 1-3 months, although complications such as incision infection and poor healing may occur.
4. Spot-Fixation Blepharoplasty
Spot-fixation blepharoplasty involves selecting several specific points on the eyelid, making small incisions, removing some tissue, and suturing and fixing it to create a double eyelid crease with relatively minimal surgical trauma. The general reference price for this procedure is 2500-7000 RMB per session. Noticeable improvement is typically seen within 1-2 months, although symptoms such as localized swelling and pain may occur.
5. Minimally Invasive Double Eyelid Surgery
Minimally invasive double eyelid surgery involves making micro incisions and precisely treating the eye tissues—for example, removing a small amount of fat and adjusting muscles—followed by fine suturing to create a natural double eyelid. The general reference price for this procedure is 3000-9000 RMB per session. Noticeable improvement is typically seen within 1.5-2 months, although complications such as localized itching and hematoma may occur.
It is recommended to visit a reputable hospital and undergo the above procedures under the guidance of a qualified physician to ensure surgical safety and effectiveness. Postoperative care should include keeping the eye area clean and dry, avoiding strenuous exercise, and minimizing excessive eye strain.
