Welcome Bright and Sparkling Eyes
I'm Tingting Li, a computer engineering girl who now runs her own company. My hobbies include photography and cosplay, and I always need to use double eyelid tapes to enlarge my eyes for photos, but I found that this repeated sticking and peeling caused many wrinkles on my eyelids, making the skin around my eyes age faster. Therefore, I wanted a permanent solution with double eyelid surgery.
Professionalism and
Post-operative Care Services
are Top-notch
I actually consulted with many aesthetic clinics and found that NICE's post-operative care was the best, offering services like red light therapy and recovery IV drips. The comprehensive recovery process alleviated my concerns about the recovery period. Moreover, Dr. Qiu is super nice. Since I was under local anesthesia, he helped ease my nervousness by chatting with me throughout the surgery to distract me, and the whole procedure was completed in about 20 minutes.

Swelling Subsides in 3 Days, Full Recovery in 7 Days
High Satisfaction Levels
Swelling began to subside on about the third day post-surgery, allowing me to go out and resume normal activities. After a week, I felt almost fully recovered. Now, applying eyeshadow is much easier, without the issues of patchiness or poor color payoff I experienced with double eyelid tapes. Plus, my double eyelids look super natural, and I feel so happy every time I look in the mirror~

Recommended Double Eyelid Surgery
My friends had very positive reactions to my double eyelid suturing, noting my eyes look brighter. If you, like me, need double eyelid tapes daily, I highly recommend getting the surgery. Consider consulting first; the doctor can simulate the post-surgery appearance. In my case, the actual results were even better than the simulation—heartily recommended!

Surgery Methods

Stapler Suture
Double Eyelid
Surgery
- Pre-surgery eyes look less spirited
- 1-2mm small incision on the upper eyelid
- Sequential suturing around the eye
- Post-surgery showing natural double eyelids
Also known as
Japanese Double Eyelids, this method utilizes a stapler-like device introduced from
Japan, making tiny incisions on the eyelid, then suturing the
upper eyelid, levator palpebrae muscle, and tarsal plate in a
zigzag pattern.
The stapler suture double eyelid results in
pinhole-sized wounds, significantly shortening
post-operative recovery time, allowing normal work the next
day. However, due to the small incisions, it cannot remove
excess fat or skin, and is
only suitable for those with thinner eyelids, less fat, and
no loose skin around the eyes.
3D Seamless
Double Eyelid Surgery
- Pre-surgery eyes look less spirited
- Custom-designed eyelid crease by the doctor
- Sutures create folds through the eyelid
- Post-surgery showing natural double eyelids
The 3D Seamless Double Eyelid stitches the eyelid to the levator palpebrae superioris fascia, then connects the stitches using a running suture, embedding them within the orbicularis oculi muscle, combining the benefits of both suture and incision methods. This gentle technique securely joins the levator muscle, tarsal plate, and skin, almost leaving no visible scars and forming natural double eyelid folds. It's suitable for all eye shapes, can improve minor Mongolian folds, and offers a visually enhancing effect similar to eye opening, with the double eyelids not easily disappearing and a short recovery period!
Suture Double Eyelid Surgery
Four Major Advantages
BENEFITS
No visible swelling post-surgery, nearly scarless
Short surgery time, quick recovery
Customized according to individual eye shape
No need for suture removal, natural effect
Incision
Double Eyelid Surgery
- Small incision at the center or outer side of the eyelid
- Removal of excess eyelid fat
- Suturing at the muscle lift and eyelid
- Post-surgery showing natural double eyelids
Incision double eyelid surgery involves creating an arc-shaped incision on the eyelid, moderately removing excess orbital fat to create a more beautiful double eyelid fold. It is suitable for those with thicker orbital fat, or excessive eyelid skin/sagging, and is currently the most effective and stable method, but post-surgery swelling is more noticeable, and the recovery period is longer. The crease will gradually become more subtle over time, offering a permanent and definitive solution.

Customize Your Ideal Eye Proportion in 4 Steps
To achieve captivating eyes, a 1:1:1 golden ratio is a must! The distance between the left eye, the right eye, and between the eyes must be equal to form the golden ratio for attractive eyes. The 4 key elements that affect this proportion are the eye's inner corner, the crease, the outer corner, and the eyelid itself.
What Types of Double Eyelids Are There?
Closed Double Eyelid
The double eyelid fold connects to the Mongolian fold at the eye's inner corner, creating a subtle, soft, and elegant eye shape. However, for those with pronounced Mongolian folds, the front half of the eyelid may appear covered, resulting in an incomplete double eyelid. This type is common among East Asians.
Semi-Open Double Eyelid
The double eyelid crease does not connect with the eye's inner fold, avoiding coverage by the Mongolian fold and not entirely parallel to the eyelid line. It presents an eye shape that gradually widens from the inner to the outer corner, narrowing the eye gap and opening up the eye.
Open Double Eyelid
Also known as the parallel double eyelid, the fold is completely separate from the eye's inner corner and parallel to the upper eyelid edge. The fold's width is more uniform, making the eyes appear deeper and enlarged. This type is more common among Westerners.

Double Eyelid Surgery Precautions
- Cease the use of steroids and anti-coagulant medications such as aspirin one week prior to surgery.
- Within the first seven days post-surgery, use ice packs to constrict blood vessels, easing post-operative swelling and pain.
- After seven days, switch to warm compresses to help expand blood vessels, enhance blood circulation, and aid in swelling reduction.
- The recovery period lasts about 1-2 weeks, with a natural state achieved in 1-2 months. Individual healing rates may vary, so initial asymmetry or uneven width is normal.
- Individuals with diabetes, dry eye syndrome, thyroid diseases, or prominent eyeballs are not suitable candidates for double eyelid surgery.
- Post-operative mild swelling and bruising may occur, improving within a week. Wear sunglasses when going out to shield against sunlight, wind, and to conceal any eye bruising.
FAQ
About Double Eyelid Surgery
Scars from incision double eyelid surgery will fade over time and will look like natural eyelid creases, so there's no need to worry about scars being too apparent.
Although the scars from incision double eyelid surgery are larger, making revision slightly more challenging than suture method, a second revision can still result in a single crease. The surgery might take longer, but it won't increase the size of the scar.
The possibility of using the suture method for revision depends on the height of the crease created by the previous surgery and its complexity. If the crease is not high and the method was simple, revision can still be done with the suture technique. However, if the previous crease is not ideal, revision might need to be done with the incision method to remove the old scar and create a new, more beautiful double eyelid fold.
The suture method is suitable for those with thin eyelids, less orbital fat, and minor eyelid laxity, while incision is recommended for those requiring skin removal or fat removal. It's best to consult with a doctor for a personalized recommendation.
The surgical wounds are small and generally not a concern. For those prone to scarring, it's recommended to use scar gel continuously for 1-3 weeks after the wound has healed. The scars will gradually fade, but actual recovery time varies by individual health and lifestyle habits.
