Incision Vs. Non-Incision Vs. Partial Incision

Eye contact is a powerful tool. You connect with others, you convey your seriousness, and you read the world through a lens that is uniquely your own.

FULL INCISION DOUBLE EYELID SURGERY

As the skin ages, it may suffer sagging and drooping. This is called ptosis.^[2] To address the forces of ptosis, Dr. Kim can remove any excess skin along the eyelid to create a pleasing, taut appearance. As he is suturing the incision back together, Dr. Kim can create a double eyelid look. A full incision is often required to adequately reverse the issue of excess skin.

PARTIAL INCISION

Dr. Kim can create the double eyelid effect without the need to extend the incision across the entirety of the lid. By selectively maneuvering the tissue that must be removed, Dr. Kim may employ the partial incision technique. The doctor makes a gentle incision through the orbicularis muscle to access the adipose fat beneath it.^[3] Dr. Kim may remove excess fat to create your desired shape. He then sutures the partial incisions together, contouring the skin to reflect the next underlying shape. Dr. Kim has thus achieved the double eyelid shape in a multilayered manner.

NON-INCISION DOUBLE EYELID SURGERY

If you have an extremely thin upper lid with little to no excess fat, you may be a candidate for a non-incision eyelid procedure.^[4] Dr. Kim can create a fold along the skin to replicate the supratarsal crease apparent in double eyelids. He then skillfully hides his sutures as he joins the small folds of skin together. Due to his extensive experience in the field of blepharoplasty, Dr. Kim can create an aesthetically pleasing line with uniform tension.^[5] You will look as great as you feel!
