How do I choose between incisional and non-incisional methods for eyelid surgery? What are the key differences in terms of suitability, results, recovery time, and long-term effects? I’d appreciate advice on how factors like skin type, eyelid thickness, and desired outcomes influence the decision. Personal experiences or recommendations for clinics or surgeons who can provide detailed consultations would also be helpful!
I recently chose double eyelid surgery in Seoul and learned a lot during consultations. The non-incisional method is great for younger people with thin eyelids less invasive and faster recovery, but results may not last as long. The incisional method suits heavier or droopy eyelids and offers permanent, more defined results, though recovery takes longer. I chose the incisional method for better correction and couldn’t be happier with the natural outcome. A good surgeon will guide you based on your eyelid type take your time deciding.
Choosing between incisional and non-incisional eyelid surgery depends on your eyelid type and goals. The non-incisional method is less invasive, scar-free, and ideal for those with thin eyelids and minimal excess skin recovery takes 1–2 weeks, but results may not last as long. The incisional method suits thicker or droopy eyelids, offers permanent, more defined results, but requires 3–4 weeks of recovery. A consultation with a surgeon can help you choose the best option for your needs.
Hi Noah,
I was torn between incisional and non-incisional eyelid surgery until I consulted Dr. Tack-Jin Chang at TJ Plastic Surgery. He explained that the non-incisional method works best for those with minimal fat and good skin elasticity, while the incisional method is ideal for excess skin or droopiness and offers more permanent results.
Dr. Chang’s honest, detailed advice helped me choose the incisional method, and I’m so glad I did the outcome looks natural and refreshed. Recovery took a bit longer, but it was absolutely worth it.
