Questions, answered
Honest answers on eye surgery, anti-aging and visiting Etonne from abroad.
Eye surgery
Does a non-incisional double eyelid come loose easily?
Any fold can change over time, since the eyes blink over ten thousand times a day. With 5–7 firmly fixed points, fine tension adjustment and careful knots, the chance of loosening is low — and similar to the incision method.
Can I get non-incisional surgery with sagging skin?
Often the incision method is more effective when skin has lost elasticity. An experienced surgeon keeps scars barely visible, and your recovery time is considered too.
What's the difference between double eyelid surgery and ptosis correction?
Double eyelid surgery creates a fold; ptosis correction changes how wide and in what shape the eye opens. They are often combined.
Will epicanthoplasty make my eyes look too close together?
Designed well, it improves shape and makes the fold more beautiful without significantly shortening the distance between the eyes.
Lifting & rejuvenation
Dermatologist or plastic surgeon for deep folds?
Aging combines sagging, lost elasticity and volume change. A plastic surgery clinic can offer everything from surgery to non-invasive treatments and tailor the mix to you.
Can lower eyelid surgery cause malposition?
Lower lid retraction is the main risk, but it is very rare when surgery is faithful to the basics and not over-corrected.
Can sagging after facial contouring be corrected?
Yes — once swelling fully subsides, liposuction or a lifting procedure can address remaining cheek sagging.
