A method that involves incising the eyelid to trim fat and skin, creating a permanent line. Suitable for thick eyes.
The incisional method is a surgical procedure in which the skin is incised along the double eyelid line, sagging skin, excess fat, and muscle are trimmed, and the line is fixed. There is almost no risk of the line coming undone, and clear results can be obtained even in cases where the eyelids are thick or sagging.
It is suitable for cases where the eyelids are thick or fatty, skin sagging is present, or when the buried suture method has repeatedly come undone. It is recommended for those who desire a clear and permanent line.
The designed line is incised to trim excess orbital fat and sagging skin and muscle, and then the skin and levator muscle are connected to create the line. If ptosis is present, eye shape correction is performed simultaneously.
Sutures are removed after 5 to 7 days, and initial swelling subsides over 2 to 4 weeks. It may take 2 to 3 months for the natural final result to appear. The incision line fades over time.
The recovery period is longer than the buried suture method, and scar management is required. The height of the line must be determined carefully; if it is excessively high, it may look unnatural or cause discomfort when closing the eyes.
The incision line is hidden within the double eyelid line and fades to become almost invisible over time.
The line itself is permanent. However, if the skin sags due to aging, additional correction may be necessary after a few years.
Yes, it is possible. Many dermatology and plastic surgery clinics in Korea treat foreign patients, and there are also many hospitals that offer consultations or interpretation support in foreign languages such as English, Chinese, and Japanese. On K-Dia, you can compare hospital information and real reviews, and consult directly via chat before your visit.
It usually takes about 5 to 7 days to return to daily activities (after stitches are removed), and the recovery period is 5 to 7 days after stitch removal and 2 to 4 weeks for swelling. If you are traveling for a short time, it is recommended to schedule your trip with ample time to check your progress immediately after the procedure, and to discuss post-recovery care and precautions with the hospital in advance.
Costs vary significantly depending on the hospital, the scope of the procedure, the equipment and materials used, and the anesthesia method. Since Korea has a well-developed infrastructure for procedures, making consultations and price comparisons relatively easy, it is recommended to compare quotes from multiple hospitals rather than relying on just one. You can check event prices and actual reviews by hospital on K-Dia.
