There are countless rumors like these out there.

Let's find out exactly which of these are rumors

and which are facts.

​

Lateral canthoplasty always fuses back together?

NO!

Depending on the surgical method used today,

there are techniques that minimize side effects and prevent re-fusion.

Because these methods exist, if you get a lateral canthoplasty,

you do not need to worry about it inevitably fusing back together.

​

Double eyelid surgery worsens dry eye syndrome?

Partially YES!

Shortly after undergoing the surgery,

you may experience symptoms of dry eye syndrome.

​

However, generally after 1 to 3 months,

the eyes fully recover, so you do not need to worry.

​

Not everyone who is good at double eyelid surgery is a board-certified plastic surgeon?

YES!

Just because a clinic performs double eyelid or nose surgeries

does not mean they are all board-certified plastic surgeons.

General practitioners can legally perform these surgeries, but

if you want to receive safer and more specialized care,

it is highly recommended to seek out a board-certified plastic surgeon.

​

It's always better to use dissolvable stitches for double eyelid surgery?

NO!

During the period when the double eyelid is setting,

the threads need to hold the crease securely.

Because of this, the percentage of clinics using non-dissolvable stitches

can actually be higher.

​

Even if non-dissolvable stitches are used,

their safety has been proven over a long period of time,

so you do not need to worry at all.

Yes, it can temporarily worsen. You may experience dry eyes in the early period shortly after the surgery, but it generally recovers after 1-3 months, so you can rest assured.

Are all hospitals that perform double eyelid surgery specialized plastic surgeons?
