Slightly Lowering Thick Double Eyelids (Sausage Eyelids)

Slightly Lowering Thick Double Eyelids (Sausage Eyelids)

This post is about correcting thick double eyelids.

Looking at this patient, she has clear, beautiful eyes and a lovely face, but the only drawback was that her double eyelids appeared relatively thick and had a ‘sausage-like’ feel.

Therefore, she wanted to lower the eyelid line.

Usually, for people with protruding eyes, even a slightly high double eyelid line can appear very thick.

This is the appearance after 1 week. Even though the stitches have been removed, it still looks thick, right?

This is because there is still swelling present.

This is at the 3-month mark.

The line has become much lower than before the surgery and will continue to look more natural over time. The initial ‘sausage’ appearance is also fading away.

This procedure was performed using what is commonly known as the ‘double-line incision’ (du-jul-tta-gi) technique.

This is the 3-month progress after the double-line incision. Some redness still remains, but it will improve as time passes.

However, one thing to note is that the scar will never completely disappear!!!

It will, however, improve over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the surgical method to lower 'sausage' eyelids?

Yes, it is performed using a surgical method called 'double-line revision'. This procedure creates a new line below the existing high and thick double eyelid line, helping to naturally lower the double eyelid and improve the 'sausage' appearance.

Do people with protruding eyes have double eyelids that look thicker?

Yes, that's correct. In individuals with protruding eyeballs, even a slightly higher double eyelid line tends to make the double eyelid appear much thicker and more burdensome. Therefore, careful consideration is needed when setting the line.

It's been a week since the surgery, but my double eyelids still look thick. Is this normal?

Yes, this is a completely normal process. At one week after stitch removal, swelling may still remain in the surgical area, so the double eyelids may still appear thick. It will gradually subside over time.

Do scars completely disappear after double-line revision surgery?

No, scars never completely disappear. Redness may remain up to 3 months after surgery, and while it will gradually fade and improve over time, the scar itself does not disappear 100%.
