Frequently Asked Questions About Eye Contouring
What results can I expect from eyelid surgery?
Eyelid surgery can make your eyes appear larger and help correct the appearance of your eyes, such as upturned or drooping eyelids.
Depending on your concerns regarding the shape and position of your eyes, as well as the thickness of your eyelids, we will consider procedures such as the "Glamorous Line" procedure, inner corner blepharoplasty, and outer corner blepharoplasty.
What kinds of procedures are available for eye area surgery?
At YAYOI CLINIC, we offer procedures such as glamorous line creation, droopy outer corner eyelid surgery, inner corner eyelid surgery, outer corner eyelid surgery, epicanthoplasty, and upper eyelid fat removal.
We will consider the most suitable procedure based on the look you want for your eyes and the current shape of your eyes.
What is the difference between a "Glamorous Line" procedure and an outer canthoplasty?
"Glamorous Line" surgery is a procedure that lowers the curve of the lower eyelid, while "droopy outer corner" surgery involves making an incision at the outer corner of the eye to create a droopy appearance.
Both methods are designed to give the eye area a softer appearance, but they differ in the specific areas they target and the techniques used.
What kind of results can I expect from an inner corner blepharoplasty?
With an epicanthoplasty, the Mongolian fold is incised to widen the eyes.
It is also sometimes used for those who want to achieve a parallel double eyelid.
What kind of results can I expect from an outer canthus incision?
With a lateral canthoplasty, you can expect to widen the horizontal width of the eyes or adjust the appearance of upturned or drooping eyes.
It is also considered when you want to correct asymmetry between the left and right sides.
How long is the recovery period for eyelid surgery?
Eye surgery may cause swelling or bruising, and depending on the procedure, stitches may need to be removed one week later.
Since the extent of swelling and the time it takes to subside vary from person to person, your doctor will provide detailed explanations based on the specifics of your procedure.
When can I start wearing makeup after eyelid surgery?
For procedures that do not require suture removal, you can apply makeup starting the day after the procedure; for procedures that do require suture removal, you can apply makeup starting the day after the sutures are removed.
You may take a shower starting on the day of your treatment.
How long does an eyelid surgery take?
The duration of the treatment varies depending on the type of treatment you receive.
As a general guideline, inner corner eyelid surgery, epicanthoplasty, and upper eyelid fat removal take about 20 minutes; outer corner eyelid surgery takes about 30 minutes; "Glamorous Line" surgery takes about 40 minutes; and droopy outer corner eyelid surgery takes about 45 minutes.
What are the side effects and risks associated with eyelid surgery?
Eye surgery may result in swelling, bruising, infection, asymmetry, or a feeling of discomfort in the eyelids. Depending on the procedure, dry eyes, a "three-white" eye appearance, ingrown eyelashes, double vision, or a recurrence of the original condition may also occur.
