Incisional Double Eyelid Surgery

From 2,400,000 KRW/ surgery

Through a thorough consultation of more than 30 minutes, the patient’s goals are carefully understood. By observing the patient’s eyes over an extended period during the consultation, problematic areas are identified and an appropriate surgical method for improvement is proposed. When securing the double eyelid, the muscle is sutured through its full layer and the knot is buried beneath the muscle, preventing exposure of the double-eyelid fixation sutures after surgery. In addition, the incision scar is less noticeable, and depressed scars are less likely to occur. Meticulous hemostasis is performed during surgery to minimize swelling and bruising. Minimizing swelling and bruising is important for accurately assessing left-right symmetry and the degree of iris exposure during surgery. The eyes are evaluated not only while the patient is lying down, but also with the backrest of the operating table raised to assess their appearance in a seated position. Ptosis correction is performed using a plication technique, enabling effective correction without damaging the eyelid-opening muscle. Postoperative care includes swelling-reduction laser treatment, anti-swelling injections, bruise cream, and scar laser treatment.

Eye+5It took me 10 years just to decide on double eyelid surgery I had seen so many side effects around me and so much regret after the procedure So I kept thinking and thinking about it, and then just went for it Using tape, double eyelid glue, and thick false eyelashes, my eyelids had become as stretched as they could be I used to do my makeup like that, so whenever I opened my eyes, I always had to use my forehead But after the incision and ptosis correction, I can open my eyes with just my eye muscles So my eyes feel much less tired now! It is a whole new world..♡ One side used to fold over oddly, so my eyes.. Without makeup, they looked like worn-out(?!) eyes.. but now they look bright and clear^^ At first, the younger sister of a fellow postpartum care center mom had it done here, and it turned out so beautifully She said she was very satisfied, and the director was so gentle and kind The nurses were also all so very kind♡ Good good! I also went to consultations at other places, but oh my That cold and stiff atmosphere made me naturally shake my head, but After truly had the best patient-first mindset! They made me feel comfortable and at ease!! There was nothing to criticize from start to finish! Simply the best of the best!! Even after the surgery, for later inquiries or any discomfort It really seems they are very reliable about aftercare once time passes and everything settles, so I immediately said gogo (there are many other places that just ignore you!) This was a clinic that was truly sincere about eyes^^ Without making it burdensome, in a way that suited my face, not too excessive But also not making it unattractive either, the director’s mindset Is truly the best During the surgery, I am honestly a very annoying unusual case because anesthesia does not work well on me Even though I whined that it hurt when the anesthesia wore off and acted very irritated They soothed(?) and comforted me haha and took great care of me all the way to the end! Haha The anesthesia wore off, but why did I keep talking so much nonsense I was really so sorry ㅠㅠ After the surgery, they carefully prepared pumpkin juice, water, a heart-shaped straw, and an eye patch So I was very grateful~! And today when I had my stitches removed, they said my eye patch had burst So they just gave me another one! Haha is it really okay to give out things so generously? Haha Director! Please work less and earn more >< I ended up rambling with such a long introduction Now to the main point I will upload the photos now! It is exactly day 5 now, and I am uploading before and after photos, pre-surgery makeup eyes As well as photos taken at the hospital before and after surgery and ones I took personally I really hope this will be very helpful for those who are 고민하시는 분들 꼭꼭 많은 도움이 되었으면 좋겠어요^-^ Lastly, thank you so so much to the director and the nurses This was taken right after I got home^^ The bruising was a bit severe, but it has gotten much better, right?!! When all the swelling and bruising are gone, I will post again! Haha Once again, Director, thank you very very so-much-anesthesia-thank-you-thank-you from the bottom of my heart For freeing me from the hell of eyelid tape and glue^^ I will see you next time! Until then, please become a building owner!Eye+3It has already been 2 months since the surgery!!! I wonder why I worried so much and why I had not done it until then.. I regret it these days haha This Chuseok, my relatives all gave me endless compliments, saying it turned out really so well haha So I even told my relatives about the hospital haha Now that it has been 2 months, I do not even remember how I looked before the surgery anymore, and it feels like these are my original eyes!! I have fully adjusted lol And before and after the surgery, you consulted me so carefully, and whenever I went in for follow-up visits, the director would notice first the things I was curious about or wondered if I should ask, so I am amazed by the director’s sense every time lol Now it seems like most of the major swelling has gone down, and I think the minor swelling is still going down, but these days it feels different day by day lol It is fascinating.Eye+3I originally had inline double eyelids, but.. Because the skin on my eyelids was sagging and I also had a lot of fat, unless you looked closely, my eyes looked monolidded. Most of my friends said that was my charm, but well.. even when I wore eye makeup, my eyes swallowed it all up so you could not even tell whether I had makeup on or not- and in photos I looked like a Tibetan fox-.- Since I was always conscious of my eyes, I finally decided to get double eyelid surgery. I had ptosis correction + incision: in-line! As a result, I am satisfied! My eyes look bigger and my overall impression has become softer. You can tell just by looking at the photos, right? They did it with great care. They had me lie down and sit up repeatedly, and kept checking until the lines on both eyes matched, and they checked everything so meticulously that it took longer than the time they had mentioned. It would be a lie to say there was no swelling, but there is definitely less swelling. As you can see from the verification board posts, surprisingly, the swelling on the first day is not that severe. And if you consistently use ice packs + eat pumpkin porridge, the swelling does not get worse. However, for me the swelling came unevenly (only one eye bled), so now I am waiting for time to pass and for the swelling to go down! I am also very pleased that they provide scar laser treatment!Eye+2Wow, it has already been 2 weeks since the surgery!!! Today, I went to the hospital for scar laser treatment. Before that, whether I went for disinfection or to have my stitches removed, everyone was so kind, so I feel good every time I visit the hospital^^ First of all, I think the line came out really well, so it has become fun to look in the mirror each day as the swelling goes down! People around me also often say that I have a different image than before, and these days I feel happy every day! Doesn't it seem like the swelling has gone down a lot compared to the beginning?^^Eye+2I received double eyelid incision surgery + eye shape correction procedure During the consultation, the atmosphere was kind and comfortable, so I was able to talk at ease while they took a lot of consideration for the eyes I wanted- Before the surgery began, as I was nervous, the director told me not to worry so I could feel reassured.. especially even putting sleep socks on me personally and telling me not to be nervous.... amazing ㅠㅠ Even as a man, I was touched by the director’s attentiveness and warmth. I think the surgery took about 40 minutes I had heard from my older sister and younger sibling that the anesthesia injection hurts a lot, so I was very worried, but perhaps because the anesthesia injection was given after sedation, I think I had the surgery without much pain throughout. However, near the end of the surgery, maybe the anesthesia wore off, and there was slight pain, but I really do not remember it as painful to the point that I wonder if I truly even had surgery haha After the surgery, they personally applied an ice compress and also gave me pumpkin juice, so maybe because of that, the swelling does not seem too severe~ According to my older sister and younger sibling, they said they were in pain even during surgery and swelled a lot afterward, so they seemed very surprised. After the surgery, I could immediately feel that my uneven eyes definitely seemed much bigger. I am so excited hehe~~!! Since I am a man, I was very embarrassed and worried that I would feel embarrassed when returning to work - but it is not very noticeable, so I am very satisfied. Hehehe@@@ It is currently day 3, and I am still doing cold compresses while waiting for the swelling to go down more quicklyEye+2Hello, I had surgery on August 13. Thank you to the director and the nurses for your kindness. I am looking forward to how much prettier I will become once the swelling goes down. ^^Eye+2I am usually very fearful, but during the surgery, music was played and I was spoken to from time to time, so I was able to undergo the procedure comfortably! Most of the major swelling went down in just one week, and after the stitches were removed, there was hardly any minor swelling left either!! Now that it has been one month, the minor swelling seems to be almost completely gone, the line is not very noticeable, and it looks very natural, so I am completely satisfied!! Thank you, Director!!Eye+2About 20 years ago, my double eyelid surgery went well without much difficulty, so I think I had unconsciously come to believe that double eyelid surgery was an easy procedure. In my late 40s, without really looking into it carefully, I had revision surgery at a large hospital in Ilsan by a doctor said to be famous for revision surgeries, and I ended up with uneven eyelids, hollow eyes, and wrinkles on my upper eyelids ㅠ From that point, the hell of revision surgery began. As I underwent several revision surgeries over the years in an effort to improve things, I eventually lost the remaining tissue in my eyelids and even developed functional problems ㅠ With an important event coming up next year, I was looking into revision surgery with the mindset that this would truly be my last, when I came across this cafe, and after a long period of 고민, I decided to have the surgery. I explained that I hoped the functional problems would be resolved as well, including uneven lines in both eyes, asymmetry from ptosis correction, and in the photos, stinging and pulling in my left eye that made it difficult to drive for long periods or even look at a monitor. The director said that without removing any skin, he would go in through the existing line, redo the ptosis correction and fixation, and try to resolve both the symmetry and the functional issues ~ Even in the operating room, he designed everything very meticulously, and just as I had seen in many reviews, he proceeded with the surgery while having me lie down and sit up repeatedly several times. I was surprised by how little swelling there was. How could there be so little swelling when I even had a mini lifting done together with it? The next day as well, there was almost no swelling or pain. It made me feel once again that he must really perform surgery very delicately. As I drove an hour to have my stitches removed, I did not feel any eye pain at all. Am I finally free from the side effects of ptosis correction? Pain and discomfort cling to a person like one body and torment them, but comfort comes in a moment of awareness. There is still a slight difference in symmetry between my two eyes, but they are gradually becoming more aligned, and even when I post minor questions on the KakaoTalk channel, the director always responds quickly, so I am getting through the recovery period without much worry. Since this is my first time having such an experience, I feel nothing but gratitude ~ I cannot express how fortunate I am to have met someone with both this level of skill and such character, even if only now. From the head staff member to the staff and nurses, everyone is so kind. Thank you, everyone ~ 1. Photos before surgery 2. After surgery 3. Photos after stitch removalEye+2About 15 years ago, I had an incision double eyelid surgery + inner corner epicanthoplasty at an eye clinic, but because they were asymmetrical and the double eyelid on the left side was barely visible, I decided to have a revision surgery~ I had consultations at two places, and I decided to proceed at the first clinic I consulted, Afternoon Plastic Surgery Clinic~ The director explained everything kindly and in detail, which gave me confidence! He said he would correct the symmetry with an incision + ptosis correction, and that he would also address the fact that I usually open my eyes using my forehead muscles~ 1. Photos before surgery 2. Photos immediately after surgery 3. Photos 11 days after surgery. Now, once the remaining swelling goes down, I think it will look so pretty~ It is not excessive, and I think it was done naturally and well! I am very satisfied with the double eyelid revision surgery Thank you, doctor~Eye+2I usually had weak muscles for opening my eyes, so I tended to use my forehead muscles a lot to keep them open. They say everyone’s eyes are at least slightly asymmetrical, but mine were noticeably uneven lol lol lol After looking into several plastic surgery clinics, Director Kim Garam seemed to be the most skilled, and it also seemed like the postoperative care was really thorough, so I decided this should be the first place I consult and came in for a visit. During the consultation, I said I wanted ptosis correction, and since I naturally do not have double eyelids, I told him that having them would feel burdensome, so I asked for a very thin inner double eyelid line. The director explained this part in great detail, and the fact that he spent over 30 minutes talking through the things I was curious about and the surgical method felt so sincere and trustworthy that I scheduled the surgery date right away. They say the swelling goes down faster once the stitches are removed, but if it goes down any more, it feels like my eyes might sink in,, Anyway, I am truly grateful, Director, because the surgery seems to have gone very well!! They also said they would provide regular scar laser aftercare and monitor my progress for up to 6 months, so I am not worried anymore. From what I felt, Director Kim Garam seems to perform surgery in a way that creates a shape suited to your own face rather than something artificial just because it is plastic surgery, so the result looks as natural as possible without being obvious. If, like me, you prefer something natural rather than artificial, I think you will be very satisfied. Thank you, Director :)

Why Afternun Plastic Surgery Specializes Exclusively in Eye Surgery

At Afternun Plastic Surgery, we believe the most important aspect of ideal eye surgery is design. Design is so important in eye surgery that it is considered half of the procedure.

EYE SHAPE CASE: Incisional Surgical Method

The double-buried suture method creates three loops, then secures the tarsal plate and levator palpebrae superioris muscle at two points. It is less likely to loosen than conventional buried suture methods and creates a natural crease line like a natural double eyelid by tying knots to the levator muscle, which opens and closes the eyes.

HOW TO PROCESS

image

STEP 01 Before Surgery

The optimal surgical method is determined through a thorough consultation with a specialist.

image

STEP 02 Design, Incision, and Fat Removal

An incision is made along the designed line, and unnecessary fat is removed.

image

STEP 03 Suturing

Fine sutures are used to secure the inner and outer layers of the eyelid.

image

STEP 04 After Surgery

A natural, well-defined eye shape is achieved.

What Sets Afternun's Double-Buried Suture Method Apart

❶ Minimization of Skin Excision

There is no side effect of being unable to close the eyes after surgery. There is less scarring because there is less tension pulling the scar open again.

❷ Minimization of Unnecessary Procedures

image

During surgery, the patient is seated for repeated checks, and 1-point fixation is performed where needed.

❸ A Technique That Buries Knots Within the Muscle

Sutures will not be exposed on the skin surface after surgery.

If the procedure is performed as in A, the sutures will be exposed.

If the procedure is performed as in B, the sutures will not be exposed.

Afternun Plastic Surgery's Eye Surgery Process

STEP 1: Select Your Desired Eye Shape

Through a direct consultation with the chief director, you select an eye shape that suits you and establish a surgical plan accordingly.

Innocent eyes: Natural, round eye shape with a pure and clean image

Chic eyes: A slightly upturned outer eye corner for a more open-looking eye shape, creating a sophisticated and chic image

Cute eyes: Large, puppy-like eyes that create a cute and charming image

STEP 2: Eye Shape Design

Before surgery, a thorough consultation with a specialist dedicated to revision eye surgery is conducted to accurately analyze the cause of the initial surgery failure, and a personalized surgical method is determined through detailed examinations.

image

STEP 3: Customized Eye Surgery 01

In accordance with the new design, the existing crease line is refined and unnecessary scar tissue is removed. Depending on the patient's needs, a natural adhesion method, buried suture method, incisional method, or ptosis correction is performed to create a new double-eyelid crease line.

STEP 4: Customized Eye Surgery 02

Additional canthoplasty and aegyo-sal surgery are performed as needed according to the new design.
