Double eyelid surgery: reveal the shaping principle of eye charm

Eyes, as the core of our facial features, like bright stars, light up the window of our hearts. The double eyelids, the beautiful curtains beside the eyes, add a sense of hierarchy and three-dimensional to the eyes. Many people are eager to increase the beauty of the eyes through double eyelids surgery. So, what is the principle of double eyelid surgery? Next, let's explore together.
The plastic surgeon explained that the formation of the double eyelid is closely related to the levator muscle fibers of the upper eyelid. These fibers not only attach to the upper edge of the tarsal plate, but also some fibers pass through the orbicularis oculi muscle and connect to the 4-7mm position on the upper eyelid skin. When we open our eyes, the levator palpebrae superioris contracts, and the skin of this part is pulled upward, while the upper part of the skin is relatively sagging, which naturally forms a fold of the skin, which is called double eyelid.
Imagine a curtain as thin as the wings of a cicada hanging. When we sew a point on the lower part of the curtain with thread, and then pull up the thread, the lower part of the curtain will be folded. This is similar to the principle that eyes become larger after double eyelid surgery. If the curtain is wide, when it is pulled up, the upper part of its fixing point will cover the wrinkles, which is why people with loose eyelids are not suitable for double eyelid surgery with suture or embedding suture. If the curtain is a thick quilt and is pulled at the same height fixed point, you will find that the upper part will bulge out thick bags, and the lower part will appear wider. This also explains why people with thick eyelids need to remove fat and muscle during surgery, and the double eyelid design line needs to be low.
Binocular eyelid surgery is not just a simple way to connect eyelid skin and muscle with thread. The cosmetologist uses this basic principle and adopts various methods to connect the eyelid skin with the levator palpebrae superioris or tarsal plate, creating various forms of artificial double eyelids.
Suture method is suitable for young people with thin eyelid skin, large eye crack or mild skin laxity. This method can be considered unless the eyelid is hypertrophic.
The incision method is suitable for all types of single eyelid, especially for people with loose skin and hypertrophic eyelids. Generally, middle-aged people prefer this method.
With the continuous progress of society, the methods of double eyelid surgery are also constantly innovating. Each method has its unique characteristics and is suitable for people. Before deciding to perform double eyelid surgery, you must consult doctors more and choose a regular hospital to ensure the effect of surgery.
