We all know that having double eyelids makes our eyes look bigger and wider. As most Asians are born with single eyelids, it has been very popular among them to opt for procedures that create double eyelids.
For the specialists, it is not just about creating double eyelids. It is also about providing personalized advice. They help and guide the patients such that an educated decision can be made with regards to what kind of double eyelids will look most ideal on them.
There have been various popular methods of creating double eyelids. Knowing them will help you make a better decision on which procedure will be most suitable for you.
Traditional incisional methods
In the past, the only available approach which could bring about double eyelids that will last was the cutting approach (better known as the incisional approach). Double eyelids created with this approach will require the patient to return to the clinic and have the sutures removed at a later time. It may also leave a prominent scar on the eyelid as some of the eyelid skin is excised. Nevertheless, this is an excellent approach, for anyone who have too much skin, muscles or loose skin around the eyes.
Remember those old stitching techniques that often had to be repeated after as short span of time? Until of late, existing non-incisional procedures are not as effective, in contrast to the incisional technique.
Lately, a new non incisional technique has been developed and gives not only scarless but also lasting results!
Scarless Double Sutures and Twisted Technique (SDST) Treatment
This is a new ’scarless’ technique of creating very natural looking double eyelid with almost zero downtime. The surgery lasts less than an hour and there is minimal post operative swelling.
You will get all the benefits that a non-incisional procedure can offer. And on top of it, longer lasting results will be seen. To list a few, here are what the benefits would be
- Results that would last longer
- Almost zero down-time, i.e. you can report to work very soon
- You can choose your preferred height and style of double eyelids
- The method is reversible, i.e. doctors can get you back to your original condition without harming your eyelids
This technique can address many other eyelid conditions, such as:
Asymmetry
Symmetry of our face and its features is of high importance as symmetry would meant beauty. Unfortunately, many of us have slight asymmetry in our facial features, such as uneven double eyelids, where the double eyelid in one eye is thicker than the other. Worse, for other, only one eye has double eyelid. This condition may make you look weird, giving rise to imperfections such as slight slanted eyes, eyes that have distinct size differences, eyes that look higher than the other, etc.
Droopy Eyes
SDST can also help shape the eyes. If you have droopy eyes, which is usually when the upper eyelid folds make your eyes appear droopy and make you look constantly sleepy.
“Hidden” Double Eyelids
Sometimes what happens is that the double eyelid gets “hidden”. This is when the double eyelid is low and becomes visible only while the person raises their brow. Although it looks good in some faces and has its own beauty, for those who want to get this corrected, SDST is another way that can help.
Consult a doctor that practice the SDST and experience for yourself how this technique can help you.
