Double Eyelid Lowering
One-line vs. Two-line, which is better?
Dr. Dongil ChoiThe answer depends on the patient's condition. If there is excess skin, one-line is suitable; if it is insufficient or you want to lower it significantly, two-line is appropriate. We recommend it after a precise diagnosis.

When is revision surgery possible?
Dr. Dongil ChoiUsually, 6 months to 1 year must pass after the primary surgery. However, if the results are poor, early correction within 2-3 weeks may be possible, so the exact timing is determined through a 1:1 diagnosis.

Is early correction necessary?
Dr. Dongil ChoiIt may be necessary. If the result is judged as overcorrection immediately after surgery, adjusting it quickly is beneficial for the outcome. The exact timing is determined through a 1:1 consultation.

Is two-line incision the last surgery?
Dr. Dongil ChoiNo. Rather, the one-line incision, which forcibly excises skin, can be the last resort. Two-line incision can be performed multiple times.

Will the scar get worse?
Dr. Dongil ChoiThe incisional method does not necessarily mean severe scarring. We effectively manage scars through precise suturing and techniques that minimize tissue damage.

Eyelid Retraction Surgery
Is it possible to correct only one side?
Dr. Dongil ChoiYes, it is possible. If the asymmetry originates from one side, accurately correcting only that side can yield a more natural result.

Double Eyelid Lowering
Are ptosis correction and fat grafting absolutely necessary?
Dr. Dongil ChoiNo. Less than 5 out of 100 people accompany them, and unreasonable accompaniment causes greater side effects. Neatly resolving it with a two-line incision alone is Gangnam Seoyon's technique.

What is the difference between single-line and double-line incision?
Dr. Dongil ChoiSingle-line incision excises the skin between the existing lines to create a single line, while double-line incision creates a new line while leaving the existing line intact. The method is chosen based on the amount and condition of the skin.

Double Eyelid Lowering
Does a stepped scar always occur?
Dr. Dongil ChoiIf the line is significantly lowered, the skin may cover the incision line and look like a step, but this is a natural phenomenon seen even in normal people's low lines and is different from a stepped scar.
