Ruby Incisional Double Eyelid
An eyelid incision removes sagging or excess fat, skin and muscle to create a clear double eyelid line without a swollen or heavy look.
Removing excess tissue
Sagging or excess fat, skin and muscle are cleanly removed.
Correcting what non-incision can't
Issues that are hard to fix without an incision are corrected effectively.
Fine control of line and thickness
The link between the eyelid-lifting muscle and the skin is considered for larger, clearer eyes.

Incisional double eyelid at Ruby Plastic Surgery
Natural is the basis, with clearer, sharper eyes!
POINT 01
Removing eyelid tissue creates clear, fresh eyes.
By removing eyelid tissue, we create fresh, clear eyes without a swollen or awkward look.
POINT 02
Firm fixation minimizes the chance of it coming undone.
Fixing firmly through an incision can minimize the chance of the double eyelid coming undone.
POINT 03
We finely adjust the line thickness.
Through an incision, we delicately adjust the thickness of the double eyelid line to create a natural line.
Precise analysis before surgery
Because even small differences can change the eyes' image greatly, surgery must follow a thorough, detailed analysis to achieve a good result.
Facial proportion analysis
Eye shape analysis
Eye spacing and length analysis
Epicanthal fold and outer corner analysis
Ptosis and pupil analysis
Analysis of muscle and fat around the eyes
A double eyelid line that suits your face
Double eyelids fall into 4 types by where the crease starts (shape) and 4 by its height. Find the line that suits you.
Inline double eyelid
A line that starts inside the inner corner and tucks under the epicanthal fold
In-out line double eyelid
A line that starts inside the inner corner and widens toward the outer corner
Semi-outline double eyelid
A line that starts slightly apart from the inner corner and flows naturally
Outline double eyelid
A parallel line visible evenly from the inner to the outer corner
Monolid (no double eyelid)
Smooth eyelids without a crease
Narrow crease
A low line that is barely visible when the eyes are open
Medium crease
A height that looks natural when the eyes are open
Wide crease
A high line that looks defined and striking
How the incisional method and natural adhesion differ
It is best to understand the difference between the incisional method and stitch-free natural adhesion and then choose the method that suits you.
Incisional method
Surgery time About 30 minutes
Anesthesia Painless sedation (local anesthesia)
Correction method Eyelid tissue is removed through an incision, then the line is formed
Stitch removal After 7 days
Recovery period Caution while stitches are in place
Result May become an artificial, unnatural line
Scar A scar may remain depending on the incision line
Stitch-free natural adhesion
Surgery time About 15 minutes
Anesthesia Local or sedation anesthesia
Correction method The line is formed through thread and adhesion via small holes
Stitch removal Not required
Recovery period Quick return to daily life possible (varies from person to person)
Result A natural double eyelid line that looks like your own
Scar Tends to be hard to notice (varies from person to person)
Incisional double eyelid process
Skin, muscle and fat are removed as needed and the line thickness is finely adjusted for a brighter, clearer look.
Before surgery
Small, flat eyes without a double eyelid
Double eyelid design

Eyelid incision
The eyelid is incised according to the design.
Muscle and fat removal

Is incisional double eyelid surgery right for me?
The questions we hear most in consultation, on suitability and how the surgery is done.
Which eyelid conditions call for the incision method?
We discuss the incisional method when there is a lot of eyelid fat or significant skin sagging, or when mid-life eye surgery or revision surgery is being considered. The suitable method is confirmed at your consultation.
How are the incision and the crease line planned?
We look at the condition of the skin, fat and muscle, match the incision line to the natural crease and adjust the thickness of the line. The incision scope and line are decided after consultation.
Post-Surgery Precautions
Side effect information: Complications that can generally occur after surgery, such as bleeding, infection and inflammation, may vary in degree from person to person, so caution is needed.
