Double Eyelid Surgery

Like most Asians, my 亲爱的 have small teeny weeny eyes. She is born with a single lid appearance, but always prefer the features of a double eyelid. Of course double eyelid can result in having attractive eyes and bigger eyes.

Without any makeup, this is how her eyes look.


with makeup, here eyes are so pretty.


I've done some research on double eyelid surgery, and found that there are 2 main techniques for double eyelid surgery, stitching or cutting techniques. Stitching techniques make use of minimally invasive procedure to secure the eyelid skin to the tarsal plate, hence creating a crease in the skin. Cutting techniques rely on fat, muscle and skin removal in order to create an anatomical defect which causes the eyelid fold to become more apparent. I would prefer the stitching method, since it is less bloody, faster recovery, and reversible. The downside is that the eyelid fold is not going to be permanent.

Since we'll be going to Bangkok for her birthday in August, it will be nice if she can get her double eyelid surgery over there. Meanwhile, I'm checking witht the hospitals if they can do stitching method, and the price they charge.
