In short. Double eyelid surgery creates a crease in the upper eyelid, using either an incisional method that removes tissue permanently or a non-incisional buried-suture method that can be reversed.

The choice between incisional and non-incisional is decided by skin thickness and the amount of excess fat, not by preference. Thin lids with little fat suit the buried-suture method, which takes about 30 minutes and settles within two weeks. Thicker lids, drooping skin or a previous failed procedure usually require the incisional method, which takes about an hour and shows visible swelling for three to four weeks.
Ptosis correction is frequently performed at the same time when the levator muscle is weak. It is priced separately and roughly doubles the total, so clarify whether a quoted price includes it.

Frequently asked questions
How long until double eyelid surgery looks natural?
Swelling drops sharply in the first two weeks, and the crease looks natural at roughly one month for non-incisional and three months for incisional surgery. Final settling continues to six months.
Can double eyelid surgery be revised?
Yes, but revision is harder than the original operation and surgeons normally require six months of healing first. Non-incisional sutures can be released relatively easily; incisional revisions may need skin grafting if too much was removed.
