Double Eyelid Removal Surgery, also known as Monolid Surgery

Learn about double eyelid removal surgery, which hides the crease rather than cutting it out, to achieve a natural monolid look without side effects.

Double Eyelid Removal Surgery, also known as Monolid Surgery

I am going to post about #DoubleEyelidRemovalSurgery, also known as #MonolidSurgery.

Removing a double eyelid? Well, a surgery to eliminate the double eyelid could technically be done by cutting it out.

However, you would likely end up with regrets.

First, let’s look at the appearance of what double eyelid removal surgery actually entails.

The double eyelid has vanished without a trace.

The eyes also look larger.

This refers to making the eyes appear in this manner.

It involves covering the double eyelid so that it is no longer visible.

Refer to the previous post:

If this is the state of a normal double eyelid,

it is covered like this to hide the double eyelid from view.

If you were to cut away the area with the double eyelid under the guise of ‘undoing’ it, the side effects would be significant.

You would suffer from a lack of skin, and the scars would be extremely difficult to remove.

It is hard to get rid of the scars.. the scarring is.. quite terrifying.

2. The eyes may not even close properly. They won’t close due to the lack of skin.

This information was cited from a brand-new paper recently submitted.

#DoubleEyelidRemovalSurgery is performed in this manner; it is not a ‘crease-untying’ surgery.

You must never undergo a surgery that literally ‘eliminates’ the double eyelid; it means rolling the double eyelid inward so it is hidden.

The procedure usually takes about an hour, and swelling typically subsides within 1 to 2 weeks.

It is rolled inward in this fashion.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does double eyelid removal surgery involve cutting out the existing double eyelid?

No, it does not. Instead of cutting out or releasing the existing double eyelid, the procedure involves covering the skin and tucking the double eyelid inwards so it is no longer visible. Simply cutting it out can lead to severe side effects.

What side effects can occur if the double eyelid area is simply cut out?

A side effect where the eye cannot fully close due to insufficient skin can occur. Additionally, severe scars that are difficult to remove may remain, so surgery should never be performed by simply cutting out the area.

How long does a monolid surgery take?

It usually takes about 1 hour. The procedure involves a delicate process of tucking the double eyelid inwards to hide it, and the surgery is completed in a relatively short time.

When does the swelling subside after double eyelid removal surgery?

The swelling usually subsides in about 1 to 2 weeks. Approximately 1 to 2 weeks after the surgery, the major swelling will go down, and you can see a natural monolid eye shape.
