Can I get a double eyelid surgery?

Double eyelid surgery mainly involves removing excess fat and tissue, and using surgical methods to create adhesion between the upper eyelid skin and the tarsal plate. The general reference price for double eyelid surgery is 2,500-8,000 yuan per session, and visible improvement is usually observed after 1-2 months. There may be a risk of infection with double eyelid surgery. Generally, it is possible to perform the surgery on just one eyelid.

Some people may be born with only one single eyelid, and the asymmetry of the eyes may affect aesthetics. In such cases, surgery can be performed on only one eyelid to correct the single eyelid. Proper surgical techniques can balance the shape of both eyes and enhance the overall facial harmony. The surgical principle of performing the procedure on one eyelid is the same as doing both eyes simultaneously. The surgeon will design an appropriate double eyelid shape based on specific eye conditions, such as eyelid thickness and eye fissure size.

However, it should be noted that uneven swelling of both eyes may briefly occur after surgery, and the recovery time may also differ. If a significant change in eye appearance is desired, performing surgery on only one eyelid may not fully achieve the ideal outcome, and additional eye surgeries may be needed.

In daily life, it is recommended to keep the eye area clean and hygienic, and to avoid vigorously rubbing or squeezing the eyes. Maintain a light diet and avoid consuming spicy or irritating foods.
