Sugar Motto
A well-defined crease begins with tissue refinement
A clear, natural-looking crease even for thick eyelids
Incisional double-eyelid surgery makes an incision along the crease, refines excess fat, skin, and muscle, and secures the crease. It can give thick or drooping eyelids a more defined appearance. Because crease height and shape can substantially change your overall appearance even with the same incisional method, SUGAR Plastic Surgery uses an accurate assessment and 1:1 design to find the crease that suits you.
Incisional
Incisional double-eyelid surgery is considered for thick eyelids, eyelids with substantial skin or fat, and drooping eyelids. It creates a defined crease through an incision and refines thick tissue when needed. We compare it with other options, such as a buried-suture technique, and discuss the approach best suited to your eyes.
Because the incision follows the double-eyelid crease, the scar is concealed within the crease and fades over time.
Case / Method
Open up thick, heavy-looking eyes — Incisional double-eyelid surgery makes an incision along the double-eyelid crease, removes excess fat through the incision, and refines muscle and skin as needed to create a clear, well-defined, yet natural-looking crease.
Thick eyelids with substantial fat or accompanying skin laxity often have difficulty maintaining a crease with a buried-suture technique alone. An incisional technique can refine thick tissue while creating the crease, making it suitable for these eyes. It may also be considered when a crease has loosened after buried-suture or partial-incision surgery, when combined with ptosis correction, or for moderate or severe ptosis.
Because the incision follows the double-eyelid crease, the scar is concealed within the crease and fades over time. The height and shape of the crease can substantially change your overall appearance even with the same incisional method. SUGAR Plastic Surgery creates a clear crease with a lower risk of loosening by designing it 1:1 to suit your facial proportions and securely fixing the muscle.
Who Needs It
Even with the same incisional technique, the height and shape of the crease can substantially change your overall appearance, so an accurate assessment and a plan tailored to you are important.
Eyelid Lines
Because the shape and size of the double eyelid can change your overall appearance, the crease shape and height should be chosen to suit your individual eye anatomy.
The crease that suits you depends on your eye anatomy, so we will explain the options in detail during your consultation.
Surgical Method
Incisional double-eyelid surgery makes an incision along the double-eyelid crease, removes fat through the incision, and removes muscle and skin as needed to create a more defined eye shape.
01 · Incision Along the CreaseThe eyelid skin is incised along the individually designed crease.
02 · Tissue RefinementExcess fat, skin, and muscle are removed, and the muscle is fixed to form the double-eyelid crease.
03 · Suture FixationThe incision is sutured to secure the crease.
04 · Crease CompleteA natural-looking double-eyelid crease is completed.Why Sugar
Even with the same incisional technique, the height and shape of the crease can substantially change your overall appearance.

Procedure
Recovery
Recovery time varies by individual. All surgery carries the possibility of general side effects such as bleeding, infection, and inflammation, and results may vary. Please consult thoroughly with a specialist before surgery.
SAFETY INFORMATION
For a safe treatment plan, please review the potential risks, the information we need before treatment, and the symptoms that require immediate medical attention.
Possible risks include swelling, bruising, bleeding, infection, an incision scar, asymmetry, differences in crease height, loosening of the crease, overcorrection or undercorrection, dry eyes, and difficulty closing the eyes. In rare cases, changes in vision may occur.
Please tell us if you have dry eye, glaucoma, thyroid eye disease, a history of vision-correction surgery, an active infection, uncontrolled high blood pressure or diabetes, a bleeding disorder, a previous adverse reaction to anesthesia, a possibility of pregnancy, or if you smoke or take any medications or dietary supplements. Do not stop anticoagulants or other medications on your own; consult the prescribing clinician first.
Contact the clinic immediately if you develop a sudden change in vision, severe eye pain, rapidly increasing swelling on one side, persistent bleeding, a high fever, or pus. If there is a clear decline in vision, go to the emergency room immediately.
This is general safety information and is not a substitute for individualized medical care. Actual risks and contraindications may vary depending on the procedure, products used, and your health.
FAQ
Because the incision follows the double-eyelid crease, the scar is naturally concealed within the crease when the eyes are open. Redness at the incision gradually fades over time, and dedicated care, including scar injections, supports recovery. The rate of fading varies by skin type.
Yes. The incisional technique is best suited to thick, heavy eyelids. Through the incision, excess fat, skin, and muscle can be refined together, allowing a clear, well-defined crease even in eyes where a buried-suture technique may not hold well.
Stitches are removed on day 7 after surgery. When you return for stitch removal, we also check your recovery and the condition of the crease, followed by additional checks according to a set schedule.
It depends on eyelid thickness, skin laxity, eye-opening strength, and the crease shape you want. Thin eyelids can often maintain a crease with a non-incisional technique, while an incisional technique may be more appropriate for thick, heavy eyelids or eyes that require tissue refinement. After assessing your eyes during consultation, we recommend the technique best suited to you.
The color and firmness of the incision are monitored over time. Seek prompt medical care if redness spreads rapidly or the wound opens, produces pus, or is accompanied by a high fever.
We assess the amount of each tissue, eye-opening strength, and desired crease height together to determine what should be removed or preserved and where the double-eyelid crease should be fixed.
Contact the clinic immediately if you develop severe eye pain, a sudden change in vision, rapidly increasing swelling on one side, or bleeding that will not stop.
