Overview

Double eyelid surgery is one of the best surgeries to create a natural crease in the eyelid. It will create a more refreshed appearance, correcting the eyes and making them look more symmetric.

The main part of the eye that the surgeon will work on and improve is called the levator muscle. This component is connected to the tarsus of the upper eyelid.
The levator muscle is mainly responsible for elevating the upper eyelid and creating a create in the eyelid area. When this muscle is weak, your eyes may look more droopy, which makes you look tired.

The doctor will make small incisions in the upper eyelid area, in turn creating a new double eyelid crease. The outcome will be natural but defined. Most patients benefit from the incisional method, because the results are natural but permanent.

Double Eyelid Surgery Checklist:

· Are you dissatisfied with droopy eyelids? Do you look tired all the time? · Do your eyelids look asymmetrical? · Are you looking for a revision surgery for your previously done (non-incisional) double eyelid surgery?
