Double eyelid surgery is a common cosmetic plastic surgery that can help improve the eye contour and make the eyes brighter and more focused. Traditional double eyelid surgery involves cutting parts** and suturing muscle tissue, which is a relatively painful procedure and takes a long recovery time. Thread lift double eyelid surgery is a new type of technique, which has the advantages of low pain, fast recovery time, and natural and long-lasting results. This article will introduce you in detail the whole process and precautions of double eyelid surgery.

Double eyelid lift, as the name suggests, is to insert one or more threads of special material into the eyelids to create a natural double eyelid by adjusting the tension and position of the threads. This surgery does not require the cutting of ** and muscles, and the procedure is less painful and the recovery time is relatively short. In addition, since the tension of the thread can be adjusted at any time, the height and width of the double eyelids can be adjusted according to individual needs to achieve the best results.

1. Make an appointment with a doctor: choose a professional plastic surgeon to perform the operation to ensure the safety and success rate of the operation.
