A post on the scar after an incisional double-eyelid procedure.
Anyone considering an incisional double-eyelid surgery worries about the scar.

The scar above looks raised, doesn't it? That is the one-week post-op view, at suture removal.
And here is the same patient at about four months, with most of the swelling resolved.
The goal is for the scar to read as a fine natural crease rather than a surgical line.
The before-and-after speaks for itself.
Preserving the orbicularis oculi during incisional double-eyelid surgery is what minimizes the eventual scar.
The arrow above marks the orbicularis oculi. If too much of this muscle is removed, the result is a deep depressed scar.
Conversely, if too much is left in place, the crease releases. Finding the right balance is essential.
