Surgery information
Three ways to a natural fold
Thread method
A thread continuously binds skin and muscle without incisions, creating a durable, long-lasting fold with no scar.
Minimal incision
Small incisions create a natural, beautiful double-eyelid line.
Full incision
Muscle and fat are removed through an incision for a more defined, lasting line — ideal when skin is heavy.
Designed for your face
Before choosing a method, the 7-point diagnosis considers brow position, eye-opening strength, corner shape, skin redundancy and more.
Common questions
Does a non-incisional fold come loose easily?
Eyes blink more than ten thousand times a day, so any fold can change over time. When a skilled surgeon firmly fixes 5–7 points, finely adjusts thread tension and ties knots faithful to the basics, the fold looks beautiful and is less likely to come undone.
Can I have non-incisional surgery if my skin sags?
If skin has stretched and lost elasticity, removing it with the incision method is often more effective — and an experienced surgeon can keep the scar barely visible. Your recovery time and goals are also considered.
Will incision surgery give me 'sausage' eyelids?
Not when fixation points are matched to your eye structure and the surgery is performed cleanly. The incision method is used only when it is needed.
