Dr. Wang Xiangya reminded that there are two types of double eyelid surgery: incision type and suture type. Communicate with the doctor before the operation and choose the one that suits you. But at present, double eyelid surgery can be divided into incision and suture. Which one should I choose for myself? What kind of surgery looks natural? According to plastic surgeon Wang Xiangya, the incision double eyelid surgery is mainly to design the appropriate length and width according to the patient's individual double eyelid condition, then cut a wound on the upper eyelid, carefully separate the levator palpebrae superioris muscle, and sew the levator palpebrae superioris muscle and eyelid with non-absorbable suture to form double eyelid folds.
This can remove excess fat and eyelids at the same time, so the double eyelid folds from the head of the eye to the end of the eye can be formed more accurately and stably. Generally, the levator palpebrae superioris will be slightly suspended, so the eyes will look bigger and brighter after operation than before operation.
Because the scar is hidden in the folds of double eyelids, you can't see it when you open your eyes, and the scar will fade over time, but it will not be obvious when you close your eyes. The stitches need to be removed one week after the operation. Suitable for people with fat, thick eyelids or loose eyelids to cover their eyesight; The operation time is about 1 to 2 hours, and only local anesthesia or sleep anesthesia is needed.
As for the anesthesia method of double eyelid suture, it is local anesthesia or intravenous anesthesia, which is suitable for people with thin eyelids and less fat. The advantages are short operation time, no bleeding, rapid swelling reduction and no scar left. The new "figure-8 suture method" is to create natural double eyelid folds by opening three pinhole-shaped wounds and passing absorbable surgical suture through the eyelids. You can check the shape of double eyelids during the operation. If you are not satisfied, you can immediately remove it and sew it again. If the eye fold is too wide or too narrow in the future, it can be restored as long as the original surgical site is opened and the stitches are removed. Don't worry about the disappearance of double eyelids, there is no scar at all. Postoperative swelling will be reduced quickly, and there will be no "falling off" of suture.
In fact, it may not be enough to reach the level of electric eye. Double eyelids can only be adjusted vertically, and the adjustment range is limited. If the effect of double eyelids is still not good, it is recommended to adjust the "open eyes" because you can see more eyeballs when you open your eyes, which not only increases the proportion of eyes, but also makes your eyes brighter. Open-eye surgery is to make a Z-shaped flap on the inside of the eye head, because the skin of the eye head is very tight. When making Z-shaped flap, we should go deep into the medial canthus ligament to remove the redundant connective tissue under the skin and increase the epithelial extensibility. When shifting gears, the flaps should be properly adjusted to facilitate smooth operation.
