What are the popular double eyelid shapes that can be created?
There are generally speaking 4 types of double eyelids that can be created surgically.
- In-fold type of eyelid
- On-fold type of eyelid
- Parallel-fold type of eyelid
- Eurasian-fold type of eyelid
- +/- Mongolian fold
- +/- ptosis
There is more than one way in producing cosmetically satisfying double eyelids.
- Non-surgical technique – Stitch Double Eyelid Plasty (aka Durable Suture Technique, non-surgical double eyelid procedure, stitch technique, buried suture technique)
- Partial incision double eyelid surgery
- Full incision double eyelid surgery
- Big eye surgery (to correct droopy eyelid or levator ptosis)
- Mongolian fold surgery (Epicanthoplasty)
This depends entirely on your current double fold shape and what shape you would like for us to create.
We can customise the eyelid surgery so that any one of these eyelids can be reshaped to another. The most common procedure is to reshape the “mono-lid” to an “on-fold type of double eyelid”, and for an “on-fold type of double eyelid” to a “parallel type of double eyelid”.
The best option is for you to come in for a consultation so that we can assess your eyes and have you tell us your desired eyelid shape. Then we can discuss with you what the most appropriate technique will be to achieve best results for your desired eye shape.
Let me illustrate this with some examples:
This young nurse had a “mono-lid” that was reshaped to an “IN-fold type double eyelid”.
This young nurse had a “mono-lid” that was reshaped to an “ON-fold type double eyelid”.
This young nurse had a “In-fold” that was reshaped to an “PARALLEL-fold type double eyelid”.
This woman nurse had a “parallel type fold” that was reshaped to an “EURASIAN-fold type double eyelid”.

What does a typical procedure involve?
Each procedure has its own unique techniques and procedural algorithms, but generally speaking, an Asian double eyelid surgery involves:
- Designing – This is where the skin is marked to accurately outline the surgical plan.
- Sedation – We regularly use twilight sedation. This is where sleeping medications are injected intravenously to help relieve anxiety and allow for a more comfortable experience.
- Local anaesthetic injection – Numbing medication is injected into the surgical area so that you don’t feel any pain from the surgery.
- Surgery – Surgery is performed to produce the desired cosmetic outcome.

What is the usual recovery?
This is the photo of usual recovery.
Upper eyelid surgery progress. There are individual variations. Usually, we do ask you to take 2 weeks off work. But in some cases, the swelling lasts significantly longer – up to 3 months.
Where is the procedure performed ?
This entirely depends on your personal preference.
There are two types of risks.
1. Risk related to any surgery. These are scarring, infection, prolonged bruising, and swelling and suture granuloma.
2. Risk specific to double eyelid surgery. These include the fold height being higher or lower than expected, fold becoming undone, noticeable asymmetry, prolonged recovery. However, these risks are minor and are generally well accepted by the patients.
What is the commonest complaint following a double eyelid surgery?
1. Swelling – it takes full 3 months for the swelling to settle. Most people are happy to return to work after 2 weeks after a surgical procedure and after 1 week after a Stitch procedure.
2. Asymmetry – right eye and left eye swells differently after the surgery. For this reason, one eye will always be more swollen than the other and hence just about everyone will have asymmetry straight after the surgery. This will improve over the next few weeks.
I am worried about scarring?
An unsightly scar following a double eyelid surgery is not common. However, it is also true that all surgical incisions will leave a scar. Scars are usually hidden in the fold so it will not be visible normally but it may be visible when you close your eyes.
Where is the procedure performed ?
This entirely depends on your personal preference.
- If the procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, then the surgery is performed in our clinic. Our clinic has been accredited to perform surgical procedures under local anaesthesia and light sedation. We have passed the high standards of NS10010 Cosmetic Surgical Clinic accreditation to ensure that you receive the quality service that you deserve.
- If you would like to have the procedure under general anesthesia then it will be performed in Surry Hill Day Hospital ( accredited theater, ACHS licensed for General anaesthesia, there is an extra charge for hospital fee and anaesthetist fee).
- You do have a choice in choosing the location of the surgery. This is usually discussed at the time of clinical consultation.

After some weeks, most scars do heal well. Any residual scar does appear as a natural skin fold and this can be easily disguised. Furthermore, they can be treated!
