Can someone with single eyelids undergo double eyelid surgery?
Disease description:
Everyone makes fun of me for having small eyes. I have an "inner double" eyelid, which makes my eyes look almost single-lidded. I want to get double eyelid surgery, but I'm not sure if it would be effective in my case. Can someone with an inner double eyelid undergo surgery to create a more defined double eyelid?

Double eyelid surgery is possible for individuals with hidden double eyelids. A hidden double eyelid is a special form of double eyelid, characterized by the upper eyelid skin folding and drooping at the crease, partially covering the eyelid. Those with hidden double eyelids who wish to enhance their eye appearance and make the eyelid crease more prominent can achieve this through double eyelid surgery. Among various surgical techniques, the full-incision method is generally more suitable for people with hidden double eyelids. This is because individuals with hidden double eyelids often have thicker or looser upper eyelid skin, and the full-incision approach allows removal of excess skin and tissue to create a more defined eyelid fold. The choice of surgery should be based on individual circumstances and professional medical advice. It is recommended that individuals with hidden double eyelids first consult and undergo evaluation at a reputable hospital to determine the most appropriate surgical plan for their needs.
