Improving a Sharp Gaze with Partial Incision Double Eyelid Surgery by Dr. Young-moon Yu of VIBE Plastic Surgery

Hello.

I am Dr. Young-moon Yu, Director of VIBE Plastic Surgery.

The eyes are the most critical feature in determining a person’s facial impression.

In particular, when a person has monolids combined with significant eyelid fat, it can create a stuffy or somewhat sharp and aggressive impression.

Today, I would like to introduce a case involving a female patient in her teens.

This patient visited our clinic with the following concerns:

A gaze that felt somewhat sharp or aggressive

A significant amount of fat in the eyelids

Monolids (absence of double eyelids)

In this case, I determined that partial incision double eyelid surgery was more suitable than a simple natural adhesion method and proceeded with the procedure.

What is Partial Incision Double Eyelid Surgery?

As the name suggests, partial incision double eyelid surgery is a method of creating a double eyelid line through small incisions.

It can be seen as a technique that combines the advantages of both the full incision method and the buried (non-incisional) method.

Because the incisions are made partially:

✔ Fat removal is possible

✔ The likelihood of the line loosening is relatively low

✔ There is less burden regarding scarring

✔ Recovery is relatively fast

For these reasons, it is a highly preferred method for those seeking natural-looking double eyelids today.

Advantages of Partial Incision Double Eyelid Surgery!!

1️⃣ Ability to remove eyelid fat

If there is a lot of fat in the eyelids, using only the natural adhesion method may result in a thick-looking line or a high possibility of the fold loosening.

Since partial incision surgery allows for the removal of unnecessary fat through small openings, it can create:

✔ A more defined line

✔ A clean-cut gaze

✔ Natural-looking double eyelids

2️⃣ Better longevity than the natural adhesion method

While the natural adhesion method has the advantage of fast recovery, the line can loosen if the eyelid fat is excessive or the skin is thick.

The partial incision method fixes the line by grasping a portion of the tissue, making the ‘line retention more stable than natural adhesion.’

It has the advantage of reducing the chance of loosening, especially in younger age groups.

3️⃣ More natural and faster recovery than the full incision method

In the case of full incision double eyelid surgery:

The incision range is wide

The recovery period is relatively long

On the other hand, partial incision:

✔ Has a small incision range

✔ Offers fast swelling recovery

✔ Minimizes scarring concerns

Therefore, it is an excellent method for those who want natural eye surgery.

We recommend partial incision double eyelid surgery for these individuals!

Partial incision is particularly suitable in the following cases:

✔ When there is a moderate amount of fat in the eyelids

✔ When there is a high possibility of the line loosening with natural adhesion

✔ When a natural double eyelid is desired

✔ When a full incision surgery feels too burdensome

✔ When you want to create a clear and defined gaze

Post-Surgery Changes

In this specific case,

By tidying up the unnecessary fat in the eyelids

And creating a natural double eyelid line,

The gaze became much softer and clearer.

While the patient had a somewhat sharp impression before surgery, you can see that after the procedure, the eyes became more defined and transitioned into a softer impression.

Personalized design is crucial in eye surgery!

Double eyelid surgery is not just about creating a line; the surgical method must be decided by considering:

Eye structure

Skin thickness

Amount of fat

Levator muscle strength (eye-opening power)

Even for the same double eyelid surgery, the most suitable method—whether it be natural adhesion, partial incision, full incision, or if additional ptosis correction is needed—varies for each individual.

If you desire a natural and clear gaze, it is important to choose the eye surgery method that is right for you through thorough consultation and accurate diagnosis.
