Finding the Right Double Eyelid Line for You, Organized by Vibe Plastic Surgery

Hello.

This is Vibe Plastic Surgery.

​

Double eyelid surgery is the most popular procedure, but

because it often leads to revision surgeries,

careful consideration is required during the initial operation.

​

Recently, there has been an increasing trend of patients

visiting Vibe Plastic Surgery for eye revision consultations.

Therefore, today, we will inform you about what aspects to check

to avoid revision surgery

here at Vibe Plastic Surgery.

​

Finding the right double eyelid line for you!

There are a total of four double eyelid lines:

in-line, in-out line, semi-out line,

and out-line.

With so many different double eyelid lines available,

you may have a lot of concerns when considering double eyelid surgery.

At this time, while it is important to know what kind of line

you personally want,

it is also crucial to know which line suits your eyes.

Let's find out which double eyelid line suits your eyes

by looking at the characteristics of each.

​

In-line

This refers to a line where the starting point of the double eyelid is close to the inner corner of the eye,

and the crease gradually becomes higher towards the outer corner.

As the most natural line without an exaggerated feel,

it is preferred by those who do not want their surgery to be obvious

or by men.

​

In-out line

This refers to a line that starts from the inner corner of the eyelid

and continues to the outer corner of the eye.

It is a common line among Westerners and suits those with protruding eyes

and thin eyelids.

However, for those with thick eyelids and muscles,

it can give a "sausage" appearance

and look excessive, so caution is needed.

​

Out-line

This refers to a thick double eyelid line

that starts from above the inner corner of the eye.

It is the double eyelid line primarily desired

by those who prefer glamorous eyes.

​

Semi-out line

This is a double eyelid line that falls between the in-out and out-line,

and it suits those who have almost no epicanthic fold,

so the line at the inner corner is not hidden.

However, due to the characteristics of Asians, there are very few people without an epicanthic fold,

so if you want a semi-out line,

it must be combined with canthoplasty procedures

such as epicanthoplasty or upper canthoplasty.

​

In this way, depending on the starting position of the crease,

the double eyelid line is determined.

Therefore, your individual eye condition,

skin thickness, eyelid fat, skin sagging, etc.,

must be considered among various conditions

to select the appropriate line.

​

Then, what are the surgical methods?

In the case of double eyelid surgery methods,

there are various options such as the incision method and natural adhesion non-incision method.

Because the surgical method you desire

and the surgical method suitable for your eye condition may differ,

you must carefully consider and choose after consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon

about which surgical method is right for you.

​

Incision Method

This is a method of removing sagging skin, muscle, and fat,

and creating a line after dissection.

It has the advantage of almost never coming undone.

​

Partial Incision Method

Because the incision line is smaller than the full incision method,

the surgery is less noticeable,

and it is performed when there is little skin sagging

but a lot of fat.

​

Non-Incision Method

This is a method of continuously tying the skin and the eye-opening muscle

with a thread without an incision.

The surgical method is relatively simple,

and recovery is fast due to less bruising and swelling,

and the results are natural, making it one of the surgical methods

preferred by many.

​

Natural Adhesion

This method utilizes the principle of adhesion between the skin and muscle.

Unlike the traditional non-incision method, it induces natural adhesion

between the eye-opening muscles,

and because the surgery is performed through microscopic holes,

it allows for a natural eye appearance

with almost no scarring even when the eyes are closed.

Also, like the non-incision method, swelling is relatively minimal

and recovery is on the faster side.

​

Which surgical method is right for me?

The incision method is suitable for correcting thick upper eyelids with a lot of fat

and sagging skin that looks swollen.

​

The partial incision method is suitable for cases with a lot of fat and flesh

on the upper eyelid, making fat removal difficult

with the non-incision method.

​

The non-incision method is effective for cases where the eyelid skin is thin

and there is little fat.

​

So far, we have looked into the double eyelid lines

that suit you.

Factors such as the shape and structure of the eyes, the amount of epicanthic fold, and the distance between the eyes,

are among the many things to consider, so

consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon is important.

Frequently Asked Questions

I want natural double eyelids, what line is good?

We recommend the in-line double eyelid. The in-line is a natural line where the starting point is close to the inner corner of the eye and the line gradually rises towards the outer corner, making it the most preferred choice for those who want a subtle look without obvious signs of surgery, and for men.

Do I need to have canthoplasty (epicanthoplasty/lateral canthoplasty) along with a semi-out line?

Yes, for most East Asians, it is necessary to combine with epicanthoplasty or upper canthoplasty. For a semi-out line to look beautiful without the inner corner line being covered, there should be almost no Mongolian folds. Therefore, due to the characteristic presence of Mongolian folds in East Asians, canthoplasty must be performed together to achieve the desired results.

What surgical method is suitable if I have a lot of fat and thick eyelids?

Incisional method or partial incisional method is suitable. If the upper eyelid has a lot of fat, is thick, and has sagging skin, the incisional method, which can remove stretched skin, muscle, and fat, is recommended. If there is not much skin sagging but a lot of fat, a partial incisional method can be performed.

What are the advantages of the natural adhesion method?

The biggest advantages are that there are almost no scars and recovery is fast. By inducing natural adhesion between the skin and the eye-opening muscle through tiny holes, the surgical痕迹 (surgical marks) are not very noticeable even when the eyes are closed, and like the existing buried suture method, swelling is minimal, allowing for a quick return to daily life.

What double eyelid line is suitable for people with thin eyelids?

The in-out line is well-suited. The in-out line, which starts from the inner corner of the eyelid and extends to the outer corner, is suitable for those with protruding eyes and thin eyelids. However, if people with thick eyelids and muscles choose this line, it may look like 'sausage eyes,' so caution is needed.
