Asian Eyelid Surgery / Eye Contouring

Buried Suture Method (non-incision)

“No artificialness, natural double eyelid”

It’s a method widely being used recently with minimal swelling and scar.Adequate for people with thin eyelids and not much of palpebral fat to get natural double eyelids. It’s a non-incisional method; making three small holes on the eyelid and connecting it with the muscle that opens an eye to make double eyelid fold.It’s a simple procedure with a short operating time and the revision operation of it isn’t very difficult. It accompanies minimal postoperative swelling and bruises compared to incisional double eyelid surgery.Although the facts that it has more cases of loosened double eyelid fold compared to the incisional method and creation of a bulge at the area of fixation sutures when the eye is closed may happen can be counted as its demerits, the actual chance of them happening is very rare.Cases of loosened double eyelid fold due to the gradual elasticity decrease of eyes and the aging process of eyelids sometimes happen but they are not caused from the unraveling of the sutures. For these cases, Buried Suture Method procedure on the upper part of the previous one or the incisional/partial incisional method can be done as the revision surgery so there won’t be much of problems.

 

Eye Contour Correction

This procedure allows you to open your eyes more clearly and comfortably by tightening loosened eyelid levator or Muller muscle which are the muscles that open an eye. Also, by refining double eyelid fold, it changes the sleepy eyes to big and clear eyes with brighter and younger look. Comfortable and clear opening of the eyes can be felt even right after the operation

 

Sleepy Eyes Correction

“Eye Contour Correction for clearer eyes!”“My eyes look sleepy and heavy.”

Muscles that open an eye are eyelid levator and Muller muscle. Whether it’s inborn or acquired, when one of them gets weakened, insufficient amount of strength will be delivered to the eyelid causing the eyelid to cover too much of the eye, difficulty in elevation of the eyelid and a habit of raising the eyebrow and forehead muscles to open the eye. Therefore, when the upper eyelid covers more than 1/3 of the pupil of an eye, one may look sleepy or tired and more forehead wrinkles will be caused due to the frequent elevation of the eyebrows and forehead muscles. However, it should be distinguished from the cases of just puffy and sagging eyelids which may show same features since just simple double eyelid surgery can get rid of the sagging eyelids for these cases allowing clear and bright eyes.

Lateral Epicanthoplasty (Three-way Extension Method)

http://april31.com

Lateral Epicanthoplasty (Three-way Extension Method)

“Harmony is the base of beauty”

If you take a look at some celebrities with beautiful eyes as examples, the ideal ratio of an eye’s medial and lateral length from the pupil should be approximately 1:1.3 with the approximate surface ratio of 1:1.5. This indicates that lateral epicanthoplasty is essential to have beautifully big eyes. Also, the benefits of eye contour correction surgery multiplies when it is conducted with lateral epicanthoplasty together. Three-way Extension Lateral Epicanthoplasty that complemented disadvantages of the traditional method provides beautiful eye contour without reoccurrence or complications. No need to worry about the postoperative scar or artificialness anymore. Reborn with naturally beautiful eyes without the worries of reoccurrence or scar.

 

 

“There are various ways of procedures for Lateral Epicanthoplasty”

The biggest disadvantage of lateral epicanthoplasty is reattachment of the extended part since about 1-2mm from 4-5mm incision on the lateral part gets reattached most of the times causing the eye to get smaller than the planned size.However, April.31st Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Clinic’s own Tree-way Extension method, as its name, gives an extension to upper and lower direction of an eye as well with the lateral extension unlike the traditional method which gives just a sharp incision laterally.Also, by relocating the lateral canthus(outer corner of an eye) itself and giving the fixation sutures, the side effects such as reattachment or exposure of conjunctiva have been overcome as much as possible and the length of the lateral extension itself is longer up to 5-6mm.

Free movement of lateral canthus(outer corner of an eye)

April.31st Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Clinic’s own Three-way Extension Lateral Epicanthoplasty corrects whether the eye is slanted or droopy. By changing the direction of the outer corner of the eye, it changes fierce look to gentle and sleepy look to clearer and more charming look.

Buried Suture Method (non-incision)

Asian Eyelid Surgery

Buried Suture Method (non-incision)

 

“No artificialness, natural double eyelid”

It’s a method widely being used recently with minimal swelling and scar.Adequate for people with thin eyelids and not much of palpebral fat to get natural double eyelids. It’s a non-incisional method; making three small holes on the eyelid and connecting it with the muscle that opens an eye to make double eyelid fold.It’s a simple procedure with a short operating time and the revision operation of it isn’t very difficult. It accompanies minimal postoperative swelling and bruises compared to incisional double eyelid surgery.Although the facts that it has more cases of loosened double eyelid fold compared to the incisional method and creation of a bulge at the area of fixation sutures when the eye is closed may happen can be counted as its demerits, the actual chance of them happening is very rare.Cases of loosened double eyelid fold due to the gradual elasticity decrease of eyes and the aging process of eyelids sometimes happen but they are not caused from the unraveling of the sutures. For these cases, Buried Suture Method procedure on the upper part of the previous one or the incisional/partial incisional method can be done as the revision surgery so there won’t be much of problems.

 

 

Candidates for Buried Suture Method

The candidates for incisional and non-incisional methods are mainly divided regarding the severity of eyelid skin sagging, thickness of the eyelid tissue such as skin, muscle and etc, size of eyes and whether blepharoptosis(cause of sleepy eyes) is accompanied or not. Buried Suture Method is also called as ‘Embedding procedure’ since it embeds the sutures and doesn’t conduct much of manipulation on the eyelid skin itself. Therefore, the incisional method that removes sagging skin is more appropriate for the eyes with any amount of sagging skin. However, since double eyelid surgery itself gives elevation of slightly sagging skin as an additional achievement in the process of connecting the skin with the muscle that opens an eye, a light sagging of eyelid skin can be sufficiently taken care of by Buried Suture Method as well. Hence, the eyelid skin looking comparatively droopy doesn’t necessarily mean a candidate for the incisional method.

Advantages of Buried Suture Method

One of the biggest merits of Buried Suture Method is that it’s reversible.

This means that if one isn’t sure about double eyelid surgery or has hard time getting used to the postoperative self-appearance, removal of the sutures will bring back the original eyelids. Of course, having an operation expecting the other-wise situation isn’t very desirable and doesn’t happen often. However, you can say Buried Suture Method has high level of availability and use with its reversibility.Since Buried Suture Method is conducted through very small incision (average 1-2mm), no scar will be visible after a bit of postoperative time. Although the scar isn’t much of a problem in the incisional method since it will be hidden under the double eyelid fold, no scar will be detected whatsoever from Buried Suture Method even when one looks down without any make-up. Therefore, it is suitable for the people who want the utmost naturalness.Buried Suture Method also has merits of a short operating time (20-30 mins) and quick recovery with minimal postoperative swelling since not much of surgical manipulation is done on the eyelid tissues. Generally, it takes about 4~7 days for the acute swelling to be gone and additional off from work is unnecessary since being back to work on Monday after having the operation on previous Saturday is possible. Hence, it’s one of the double eyelid surgery methods suitable for busy contemporary people. There are various surgical methods for Buried Suture Method such as making a single loop, locating the knot on the conjuctiva area, making three short loops, continuous embedding of single knots and etc. Some may use new terms such as ‘quick double eyelid’, ‘Diamond procedure’ and etc. to promote them as if they are new surgical methods but they all fall under the category of Buried Suture Method with just slight changes of details from the original methods.All the methods mentioned above are within the category of Buried Suture Method using its principle with some surgical manipulation differences regarding the shape and maintenance of the postoperative double eyelid.

Misconception about Buried Suture Method

Many people think of it as a method with high rates of loosened double eyelids. It was true in the beginning stage of its introduction to Korea with its unsuitable application and inadequate surgical manipulations. This problem sure was troublesome for both patients and surgeons. Therefore, constant efforts to solve this problem have been made and allowed current Buried Suture Method that lowered the chance of loosening through improvements of the procedures and materials. That’s why the idea of ‘Buried Suture Method = easily loosening double eyelids’ is a misconception and even if the loosening happens by any possibility, a simple additional fixation of the sutures can revise it.

Incisional Method - Double Eyelid Surgery

Incisional Method

It’s a procedure commonly applied for the cases of thick or sagging eyelid skin, excessive fat of eyelid, or loosened embedding.

It’s a surgical method of making an incision along the line drawn above the eyelid according to the desired height and shape, followed by removal of excess skin, muscle, fat, and connective tissues to make double eyelid fold for the eyes with thick or sagging eyelid skin, excessive fat or loosened embedding.

Candidates for Incisional Method

Suitable candidates for this procedure are decided considering the size of eyes, condition of eyelid tissues, whether blepharoptosis(cause of sleepy eyes) is accompanied or not, desire and expectation of the patient and etc.Generally, the patients who present difficulty in demo-practice of forming double eyelid line with a simple tool, excessive amount of sagging eyelid skin, history of primary double eyelid incision and considering revision operation, thick components of eyelid(muscle, skin, etc) in preoperative consulting are mainly the candidates for the incisional method.

Procedures

After giving an incision along the pre-arranged eyelid line, an additional removal is given on the parts of excessive muscle and orbital fat as necessary. The sagged skin from the skin incision also gets removed as designed. When the manipulation on eyelid tissues is completed, anatomic and functional aspects of double eyelid including adhesion of the skin and adequate tissue (eyelid plate or muscle) are considered to create natural double eyelid lines.From the various methods of creating double eyelid fold lines such as Levator Muscle Fixation, Tarsal Plate Fixation and etc, April.31st Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Clinic conducts a method that doesn’t leave stitches inside the eyelid tissue to create natural double eyelid fold lines.

 

Advantages of Incisional Method

1. Wide scope for manipulation with direct vision.2. Less weakening and loss of the fold lines compared to the Buried Sutures Method(non-incisional).

INFORMATION

• Duration of Operation : 1 hour

• Anesthesia : IV sedation(under induced sleep) &local anesthesia

• Hospitalization : Unnecessary

• Back to Work : After 4~5 days

• Stitch removal : unnecessary

• Outpatient Treatment : 2~3 times
