ANSWER Full Incision
The incision method opens the skin along the crease line, removes loose skin, fat, and muscle as needed, and fixes the line firmly. It suits thick eyelids, sagging skin, and those whose buried sutures came loose, and a semi-permanent hold can be expected.
When Full Incision is needed
If any of the following apply to you, we recommend a specialist consultation.
Thick eyelids
Thick fat and skin make non-incision methods unreliable
Sagging skin
Loose skin must be addressed before a defined crease is possible
A loosened buried suture
You want reliable durability after a failed buried method
Preferring a crisp line
You like a sharp, well-defined double eyelid
CUSTOM DESIGN
Line height and shape designed to the millimeter
Since an incised line is hard to change, the initial design decides the result. ANSWER factors in eye size, intercanthal distance, and brow position to design line height and shape to the millimeter, re-confirming the design seated upright to verify symmetry.
- 1Line height and shape designed on facial proportions
- 2Design re-confirmed seated for symmetry
- 3Skin and fat removal estimated conservatively

ANSWER POINT
Suturing aimed at a thin, natural scar
With the incision method, the finish shows in the scar. ANSWER closes in matched tissue layers to narrow the scar, anchors the line to the eye-opening structures so it folds naturally without standing out when closed, and avoids excessive tissue removal to keep the eyes soft.
- 1Layered closure for a thin scar
- 2Anchoring to the opening structures for a natural fold
- 3Excessive excision avoided for a soft look
- 4Scar ointment and laser aftercare guidance

Consultation & Design
Your eyes are analyzed and line height and shape decided together.
Incision & Tissue Work
The crease is opened and loose skin and excess fat addressed.
Line Fixation
The line is anchored firmly to the eye-opening structures.
Fine Suturing
Tissue layers are matched in closure to narrow the scar.
Recovery Care
After stitch removal, scar care and swelling are monitored.
Frequently Asked Questions
QHow long will the incision scar be visible?
Early redness fades over weeks to months, and the scar hides inside the fold when the eyes are open. Healing speed varies by constitution, and scar treatments can be arranged when needed.
QDoes the incision method really never come undone?
Because the line is fixed directly to tissue, loosening like buried sutures is rare, though age-related skin sagging can make the line look shallower. It is the method from which semi-permanent hold can be expected.
QHow long until the swelling subsides?
Major swelling settles within 1–2 weeks, and the line typically softens over 1–3 months. The final line is often assessed at around 6 months.
