How are double eyelids formed? How does double eyelid surgery work?

Do you girls with single eyelids who love beauty want to have double eyelids? Don’t be in a hurry. Let’s learn some knowledge about double eyelids with the editor today. How are double eyelids formed and what is the working principle of double eyelid surgery.

The upper and lower eyelids of a person are medically called the upper eyelid and the lower eyelid. The movement of the upper eyelid is controlled by the levator palpebrae superioris muscle, which is located in front of the eyeball and is shaped like a curtain. It is also controlled by the optic nerve. When the levator palpebrae superioris muscle contracts, the upper eyelid opens. There is a tarsal plate, which is a connective tissue similar to cartilage and has a certain hardness, inside the tarsal plate to maintain the normal shape of the upper eyelid. The levator palpebrae superioris muscle is attached to the upper edge of the tarsal plate. If some fibers of the levator palpebrae superioris muscle extend upward and attach to the skin of the upper eyelid 3-5 mm away from the eyelid margin, when the levator palpebrae superioris muscle contracts, the eyelid is lifted up, and a clear wrinkle, which is narrow inside and wide outside, is formed on the surface of the upper eyelid, that is, a horizontal groove. This is the reason for the formation of double eyelids.

Whether it is an open or buried suture double eyelid surgery, it is actually only to make the upper eyelid easier to form wrinkles. The open surgery generally removes excess skin and fat tissue through surgery, and then fixes the eyelid skin to the desired height of the tarsal plate to form a double eyelid. The buried suture generally uses a suture method, which is to directly bury the suture (or polymer suture) between the skin and the tarsal plate, so that the upper eyelid skin adheres to the tarsal plate to form a double eyelid.
