Single-line Incision · Double-line Incision — In a harmonious proportion
"Thick double eyelids shouldn't just be lowered unconditionally; the exact surgical technique between single-line and double-line incisions must be chosen according to the amount of skin and eye condition."
— Dr. Choi Dong-il, Chief Surgeon

5 cases suitable for Gangnam Seoyeon's thick double eyelid lowering.
Double eyelid line is too
high and want to lower it
High line with
deep scars
Due to excessive muscle/soft tissue removal,
those with sagging sausage eyes
Compared to the distance between eyebrows and eyes,
the line is too high
Due to ptosis, the line
is exposed and looks high
Dr. Choi Dong-il of Gangnam Seoyeon has lectured on thick double eyelid lowering (double-line method) surgery through several conference presentations.

Depending on the amount of skin and eye condition, a suitable method between single-line and double-line method is selected.
Excising the skin between the new and existing lines into a single line
to lower the double eyelid line, by cutting the existing incision line. The line is lowered by excising between the existing incision line and the new line.
The skin between the newly formed line and the existing line is excised to release adhesions and create a new line.
Formal name of "Line lowering without cutting the existing double eyelid scar"
The exact name of the double-line method is "Line lowering surgery without cutting the existing double eyelid scar". If the existing double eyelid line is an incision scar, a new incision is made for the new line. It is a surgery that releases the double eyelid folding on the existing incision scar and makes it fold below it.
The adhesion of the existing double eyelid is released, and a new line is created below it.
Many people have vague fears about the side effects of two-line incision. However, if performed with the right method when absolutely necessary, you can achieve big, clear, and refreshing eyes without worrying about side effects.
Rather, forcibly excising skin when there is no excess skin can be the last resort. This is because further surgery is impossible once the skin is excised.
Ptosis correction is sometimes performed to prevent multiple folds, but it is not unconditional. Two-line incision + fat grafting is done in less than 5 out of 100 cases. Resolving multiple folds with only a two-line incision without ptosis correction or fat grafting is the true technique.
It can occur the more the line is lowered, but it is actually a natural phenomenon that can also be seen in people with naturally low lines.
As the line is lowered, the skin covers the incision line, and the same appearance can be seen in people with naturally low lines who have not had surgery.
3 principles to achieve both natural results and scar minimization.
Precise diagnosis by an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon
Customized design considering eye shape, condition, and the entire face
Minimization of tissue damage through thorough planning + delicate surgery
