​

Does swelling last longer with the incisional method?

This is true to some extent. Because the surgery time is longer than the non-incisional double eyelid surgery,

and there is much more manipulation of the eyelid skin.

First of all, the non-incisional method has no external stitches, whereas the incisional method does have stitches.

However, even with the non-incisional method, swelling lasts longer if the double eyelid fold is large, and even with the incisional method, swelling subsides quickly if the fold is small.

Ultimately, this means that the rate at which swelling subsides is not determined solely by the surgical method.

Perhaps it is because I am getting older, but time seems to fly by so quickly these days.

For you as well, time will continue to pass after your surgery.

At one to two weeks post-op, there may be a significant difference in swelling between someone who had the incisional method and someone who had the non-incisional method,

but after a month or two, the difference in swelling between the two will not be significant.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does swelling last longer with incisional double eyelid surgery?

Yes, to some extent, that is true. Incisional methods tend to have longer initial swelling compared to non-incisional methods because the surgery takes longer and involves much more manipulation of the eyelid skin.

Is there a difference in stitches between non-incisional and incisional methods?

Yes, there is a difference. Non-incisional double eyelid surgery does not involve stitches, whereas incisional surgery, which involves cutting the skin, requires stitches that need to be removed after the operation. These differences in the surgical process affect initial recovery.

Is the swelling duration determined solely by the surgical method?

No, it is not. The duration of swelling is greatly influenced not only by the surgical method but also by the size of the double eyelid. Even with the non-incisional method, if the double eyelid is made large, swelling can last longer, and even with the incisional method, if it is made small, swelling can subside quickly.

Is there a significant difference in swelling after one or two months post-surgery?

No, it is not significant. While there is a clear difference in swelling between incisional and non-incisional patients during the first 1-2 weeks post-surgery, after a recovery period of about 1-2 months, the difference in swelling between the two surgical methods almost disappears.
