What is Non-Incision Double Eyelid Surgery in Delhi?

Double eyelid surgery in Delhi,  also known as Asian Blepharoplasty, is a surgical procedure performed to create a more symmetrical and almond-shaped eye. Typically, Indians from the North East prefer a small eyelid ranging from 3 to 6 mm, and people from Southeast Asia  ( Thailand or Vietnam) prefer a tall eyelid that ranges from 7 to 10 mm. 

In recent years, the pursuit of subtle yet transformative beauty enhancements has led to a surge in demand for non-invasive cosmetic procedures. Among these, non-incision double eyelid surgery in Delhi has emerged as a popular choice for those seeking a natural-looking crease without the need for cutting or extended downtime. Especially favored in East Asia, this minimally invasive technique offers a quick recovery, minimal scarring, and long-lasting results—all without the scalpel. But what exactly is it, and is it right for you?

In this blog, we’ll explore what makes the non-incisional method different from traditional eyelid surgery, how it works, and what you should consider before making a decision.

What is double eyelid surgery? 

Double eyelid surgery creates a crease in the upper eyelid and adds more definition to it. According to Dr Hirnamayi Jha, a board-certified cosmetic surgeon in Delhi, without a crease, the eyelid folds just above the lash line, which makes the eye look smaller. 

So, turning the upper eyelid from monolid to double eyelid, with two defined sections separated by a crease, will make the eyes look rounder and larger. The double eyelid surgery in Delhi also reduces the puffy and tired look that comes with hooded lids by removing extra fat and skin. 

This entire procedure is also called Asian Blepharoplasty because the procedure is very popular among East Indians who do not have an upper eyelid crease. Thus, it is a very popular cosmetic procedure in Delhi, and Eterna Vision and Aesthetics is the best cosmetic surgery clinic in Delhi to get this procedure done. 

How does double eyelid surgery work? 

Before double eyelid surgery in Delhi, you will have an in-depth consultation with Dr Hiranmayi Jha to discuss what you want to achieve from the surgery. the crease size, shape, and position that best complements your features and facial structure.

“The better idea you have about what you’re trying to accomplish, the more helpful it is in making a surgical plan,” says Dr Jha, a board-certified cosmetic surgeon in Delhi. “There are different types of upper-lid creases, and there may be cultural preferences for the look of the crease.”

Asian eyelids typically have more fat than non-Asian eyelids, so to retain the “Asian” appearance of the lid, much less fat is typically removed from the lid than it would be for non-Asian patients.

Many Asian patients also have epicanthus, eyelid skin covering the inside corner of the eye. You may choose to have the epicanthus eliminated, or you can retain it, creating a more subtle change in appearance.

To help make sure you’re on the same page as your surgeon, bring photos showing your desired outcome. “This can be a good starting point, especially if you have some features in common with the person in the photo,” says Dr. Jha. 

So, what happens during the asian blepharoplasty surgery in Delhi

  • Your surgeon will first measure your upper lid and then use a pen to mark the best location to give a natural-looking crease. 
  • They will then numb the area using local anesthesia so that you do not feel any discomfort during the procedure. 

The surgery is then performed using two techniques: 

Incisional Technique 

  • In this technique, the blepharoplasty surgeon in Delhi will first make an incision that goes parallel to the lash line and then remove excess fat from the upper eyelid skin. 
  • Surface suture stitches are used to hold the skin back together and to create a crease. 
  • The technique will leave a small scar, but this technique is used to create a strong and permanent eyelid. 
  • The primary disadvantage of this procedure is the long recovery time and several weeks of swelling. 

The Non-Incisional Technique

  • In this technique, there will be no incision. Your plastic surgeon in Delhi will create tiny holes and pass sutures through these holes. These sutures are hidden under the skin and are left there permanently. 
  • This technique works best for young patients who have thin eyelids and do not need any fat excision during the surgery. 
  • The recovery time is comparatively small compared to the incision. 

Here is a comparison table that will help you understand the difference between the two:

How long is the recovery? 

The recovery time after double eyelid surgery in Delhi will depend on the type of procedure you choose. For example : 

  • If you choose a suture-only technique of blepharoplasty in Delhi or a nonincision double eyelid surgery, then the swelling post-op will last for two to three days.  Apply light ice packs to help with swelling. You can return to your daily activities in 24 hours. 
  • The surgery that involves an incision can take up to two weeks to heal. You will look decent in two to three weeks, and you can hide your scars with light makeup. 

How soon are the results visible? 

You will see the initial results in two to three weeks because the swelling will resolve in this period. As swelling decreases, the create will start settling to its intended position. There will be a small visible scar along the incision line, and it will fade in 12 to 18 months.

Is double eyelid surgery permanent? 

The results of double eyelid surgery in Delhi are permanent as long as you choose to get it done by a board-certified plastic surgeon in Delhi. However, natural aging, sagging and hooding are quite common. 

Is there any alternative to Asian blepharoplasty in Delhi? 

Double eyelid surgery is the only way to get a permanent lid crease. For those who want to avoid the surgery, a temporary tape or glue can do the trick. 

But if you want to get rid of the excess skin, then eyelid blepharoplasty is a perfect choice.
