Incisional / Minimal-Incision Double Eyelid
Full or partial incision double eyelid — the definitive fold for puffy lids and excess skin, designed to look natural, not surgical
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.
