Double Eyelid Surgery in Korea: Non-Incision vs Incision Methods

What is a Non-incisional Double Eyelid Surgery?

Non-incisional double eyelid surgery creates a natural crease without any skin incisions. Instead, multiple micro holes are made along the desired double eyelid line, and a fine thread is carefully inserted and sutured through these points to form the fold. This technique offers reduced swelling and a faster recovery period, ideal for those who want fast, natural results.
