Double Eyelid Surgery

Double Eyelid Surgery

Naturally beautiful, defined eyes as if you were born with them.

Vance Plastic Surgery Principles

“No two double eyelid surgeries are the same.”

Rather than a uniform, cookie-cutter line, we create the ideal eye shape that best suits your face.

What double eyelid shape and height are right for me?

Double Eyelid Shape

Classified into four types according to the starting point.

In-line Double Eyelids

This type starts at the inner corner of the eye. It is the most natural-looking line, with an elegant Asian appearance and almost no visible signs of surgery.

In-Out Line Double Eyelids

This type extends naturally from the border of the inner eye corner. Combining a natural yet defined look, it is the most popularly preferred line.

Semi-Out Line Double Eyelids

This type begins externally but has a lower starting point. It adds naturalness to the glamour of an out-line crease, creating a sophisticated and trendy appearance.

Out-line Double Eyelids

This type runs parallel from above the inner corner of the eye. It creates a Western, exotic appearance and completes large, glamorous-looking eyes.

Double Eyelid Height

Classified into four types according to line height.

No Visible Double Eyelid Crease

This type has no visibly defined crease. It creates a clean impression with a chic, understated appeal.

Hidden Double Eyelids

This type has a crease that becomes hidden when the eyes are open. It naturally enhances eye definition without looking obvious.

Medium Double Eyelids

This is a moderate height with a clearly visible crease. It offers an excellent balance between naturalness and glamour, making it broadly appealing.

High Double Eyelids

This type has a high crease, creating a thick and pronounced look. It creates a glamorous, Western-inspired, doll-like appearance.

Key Points of Vance Plastic Surgery Double Eyelid Surgery

❶ No “Sausage Eyes” — Customized Depth Adjustment

If the crease is too deep, it can create a sausage-eye appearance; if it is too shallow, it may come undone. By analyzing individual skin thickness and creating adhesion at the most appropriate depth, the result looks natural with less swelling even immediately after surgery.

❷ Scars You Do Not Need to Worry About Even When Closing Your Eyes

Even with the incisional method, surgical signs should not be noticeable. Fine incisions are made along the skin texture, and specialized suturing techniques that conceal the suture material internally are used, so scars are barely visible even when the eyes are closed.

❸ Eye Shape Designed with Iris Exposure in Mind

This is not simply a procedure that creates a crease. By designing for the proportion at which the iris appears most open (80–90% exposure), a dull impression can become clear and defined.

The Vance Plastic Surgery Promise

We will create eyes you will want to look at, too.

Even subtle differences in the eyes can change one's impression. Eye-opening strength, horizontal length, and angle can make the eyes look unnatural. That is why they should be clear, defined, and natural. Vance Plastic Surgery analyzes the eyes and face from multiple angles to create the eyes that best suit your face.
