Who is suitable for double eyelid surgery (Blepharoplasty)?

1. People who are suitable for double eyelid surgery are those who have single eyelids and want to have double eyelids.
People with single eyelids that we mostly meet are usually Asian people such as Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese or people who are half-breeds who have mixed races like what we call Chinese girls or Chinese guys. Normally, people with this type of single eyelid will have thick eyelids that look bulging when they close their eyes. Therefore, many people with single eyelids who want to have double eyelid surgery will have to cut the fat in the eyelids and decorate the eyelids as well.

2. People who are suitable for double eyelid surgery are those with sunken eyelids.
People with this type of eye shape already have double eyelids, but they just have a lot of skin on their eyes. They have double eyelids that are not high and the eyelid crease is not clear, or they have a lot of fat in their eyes, so when they open their eyes, they see little or the eyelid crease is not clear because the fat on the eyelid covers it, making the eyes look small, the outer corners of the eyes look droopy, and they look sleepy all the time.

3. People who are suitable for double eyelid surgery are those with uneven eyelids.
People who have uneven eyelids can have two cases: 1. It is congenital, which is due to genetic structure, or 2. It is caused by weak eye muscles. The muscles on both sides of the eye cannot be lifted equally. When entering the age that starts to increase, it causes the muscles in the eyelid area, which used to be part of the function of holding or fixing the eyelid, to deteriorate with time or age. In addition, uneven double eyelids can also occur in people who wear contact lenses, who have to hold and open their eyelids often, including people who like to touch their eyes, such as rubbing their eyes, which can cause uneven eyes.

Because the symptoms are caused by the muscles that lift the eyelids coming loose from where they should be, resulting in less force being able to lift the eyelids. If you don’t want to have uneven eyelids, it’s best to avoid touching or touching your eyelids.

Normally, if the eyelids are not the same on both sides like this, the doctor usually recommends doing it together with the eye muscle pulling technique because it will make the eyes look balanced and adjust them to look equal.

4. People who are suitable for double eyelid surgery are those who have ptosis.
Ptosis is a condition in which the eye muscles are not fully developed. There may be some abnormalities, which can be caused by genetics or by aging. This causes the eyelids that are normally stretched or pulled out, or the normal eyelid muscles to move or detach from their original position. Sometimes, it may be caused by a tear in the eye muscles, including abnormal optic nerves, or other abnormalities in the eye area, such as a tumor that sometimes, when it occurs, may affect the protrusion or pulling of the eyelids. When this happens, the eyelids will droop and cover the eyelids, making the double eyelid invisible or hidden.

Normally, if this is the case, the doctor recommends doing it together with the long incision technique and cutting the eyelid skin to make the drooping and sagging eyelids smaller.

5. People who are suitable for double eyelid surgery are those with weak eye muscles.
People with this type of symptom have eyelid muscles that are tight, which may be caused by weak eye muscles, which results in them not being able to work to their full potential and causing them to be unable to support their eyelids. This makes people with this symptom look like they are not fully awake, look sleepy, and have droopy eyes. When someone has this symptom, they will lose their confidence because it also ruins their personality.

The aforementioned eye problems can be solved by double eyelid surgery. Double eyelid surgery can be divided into 3 types:

1. Small incision blepharoplasty technique
2. Long incision blepharoplasty technique
3. Double eyelid surgery technique using 3-point stitches (Suture Technique)
