Incisional / Minimal-Incision Double Eyelid at DU Plastic Surgery Seoul

Overview

When lids carry real fat or loose skin, incision is the honest answer: it removes what non-incisional methods cannot, and creates a fold that never loosens. DU offers both minimal (partial) incision for moderate cases and full incision where skin excision is needed.

The DU difference is in the line: incision height and curve are designed around your brow, eye axis and facial proportions so the healed result reads as a naturally deep-set eye — not an operated one. Stitches come out at day 5–7 with about a week of primary recovery.

Incisional / Minimal-Incision Double Eyelid — FAQ

Will the scar show?

The incision sits inside the fold itself; once matured it is concealed within the crease and rarely noticeable even with eyes closed.

Minimal vs full incision — which do I need?

Moderate fat with good skin suits minimal incision; visible skin excess needs full incision. The consultation examination determines it.

How long until swelling is gone?

Daily life resumes in about a week; 70–80% of swelling settles in 2–3 weeks with the final subtle line by 1–3 months.

Can ptosis correction be combined?

Yes — sleepy-looking eyes from weak lid muscles are commonly corrected in the same operation.
