Eyelid Correction (Upper Eyelid Skin Resection) / Double Eyelid Line Skin Resection

Eyelid correction (upper eyelid skin excision)

Upper Eyelid Skin Resection is a cosmetic surgical procedure that removes excess skin and orbicularis oculi muscle at the lash line to improve droopy eyelids and puffy eyes. It is suitable for individuals who have had double eyelid surgery (
either full incision or suture method) but whose lash line is obscured due to skin laxity, or for those who wish to maintain their existing double eyelid line while achieving a more refreshed appearance around the eyes.

Thick or sagging eyelids often prove difficult to improve through self-massage or makeup alone, necessitating appropriate surgical intervention.
Eyelid skin excision removes sagging without altering the double eyelid width, featuring minimal downtime and inconspicuous scarring.

Double-line skin excision

Upper Eyelid Skin Resection is a procedure that removes excess skin overlapping the lash line to improve droopy eyelids and enhance eye opening. Double Eyelid Skin Resection, on the other hand
, involves removing skin above or below the double eyelid crease to reduce puffiness and improve the appearance of droopy eyelids.

Which procedure is appropriate will be carefully examined and determined by a doctor with a background in plastic surgery.

Features of Our Eyelid Skin Resection and Double Eyelid Line Skin Resection Procedures

Our clinic boasts extensive experience in upper eyelid skin excision procedures, with surgeries performed by board-certified plastic and cosmetic surgeons specializing in double eyelid revision. Our
highly regarded results feature exceptional design and a natural, beautiful finish.

Double eyelid revision surgery is generally associated with prolonged swelling and more noticeable scarring, but upper eyelid skin excision is characterized by significantly reduced downtime, including less swelling and scarring.

Furthermore, determining the suitability for this procedure is extremely important. Our hospital also addresses the improvement of ham eyes that occur after full incision or buried suture procedures performed at other hospitals.

We carefully examine each individual’s unique eyelid thickness and skin volume to design the optimal amount of tissue removal. This approach preserves a natural double eyelid line while achieving a subtle rejuvenating effect. Leveraging
our extensive experience in diverse double eyelid revisions, we propose the most suitable surgical technique for each patient.

Treatment Process

Design

Prior to surgery, we examine the condition of your eyelids and precisely measure the amount of tissue to be removed to improve sagging without compromising the double eyelid width or line. We propose the optimal design tailored to your eyelid
thickness and skin volume, taking into account your personal preferences and photographs of your eye area. On the day of surgery
, we ensure ample time for design confirmation and proceed only after you are fully satisfied.

Anesthesia

Local anesthesia is used as the primary method, supplemented with nitrous oxide anesthesia as needed. You can
undergo surgery in a relaxed state.

surgery

The procedure takes approximately 30 to 60 minutes. A precise incision is
made along the lash line, and excess skin and orbicularis oculi muscle are carefully removed.
Meticulous suturing aims for a natural finish with minimal scar visibility.
