Getting the surgical procedure that involves the formation of the double eyelid, also called blepharoplasty or Double eyelid surgery (ทําตา 2 ชั้น, which is the term in Thai), has surged among people who wish to alter their facial appearance.
It is a beauty procedure that forms a fold for the upper eyelid, making the face appears as lively as a young person’s.
What Is The Bl Shaping Of Eyelids?
The surgery is carried out to create or improve the ‘Asian eyes’ fold, which is a fold that separates the upper eyelid into two halves. Widely practiced among those of East Asian origin, it is done to candidates with a single eyelid or a subtle double eyelid crease. Besides making the patient look younger, the operation modifies a double eyelid, making the eyes look more significant and more pronounced.
Ways In Which One May Benefit From Double Eyelid Surgery
The choice of double eyelid surgery is made for different reasons. For some, it is just a cosmetic issue; they want a specific eye shape that looks good on them, particularly the pre-auricular fold. For others, it may be purely functional, a definite one since having a ‘second lid’ helps apply make-up much more effectively. Also, people who believe their eyelids hinder their vision because the skin is too loose may choose this surgery to expand their view.
The Procedure
There are some variations of the surgery where the appropriate approach depends on the patient’s circumstances and the plastic surgeon’s advice. Two principal techniques are used: incisional technique and non-incisional or suture technique.
- Incisional Method: This is a technique where an incision is made along the line where the surgeon intends to create the eyelid crease.
The surgeon then smoothes the skin, fat, and muscle to trim the excess and sets the new eyelid fold.
This method is often used for its extended, permanent outcome and applies to clients with more severe lid issues.
- Non-Incisional Method: Another name for this procedure is the suture method, in which stitches fold the upper eyelid without removing the skin.
This is less invasive and, in most cases, entails a shorter recovery time. It is most suitable for people who do not wish to change their bodies permanently or have comparatively little loose skin.
Recovery And Results
Healing from this eyelid surgery depends on patients and techniques that may have been employed. Patients can expect some swelling and bruising for the first days and sometimes the first weeks. Most patients can return to their routines within a week or two, but it takes a few months to see the final effects of the therapy.
Conclusion
Double eyelid surgery is a cosmetic improvement solution for people who need to change their eyes. It is, therefore, imperative to seek the services of a competent doctor as much as one wishes to undergo any cosmetic surgery.
