Single eyelids can be cut into double eyelids. For those who have successfully had double eyelid surgery, these are minor problems. But for those who have not had this surgery but want to do it, this is unknown. So the whole process of double eyelid surgery is very necessary for many people. Let us take a look at the operation process together.

Then a needle with 1-0 silk thread or 6-0 nylon thread is used to penetrate from the needle hole at point C of the skin to the tarsal plate, sneak in front of the tarsal plate for a distance, and exit from point d. Then insert the needle into the unified eye at point d, pass through the dermis of the skin and exit from the eye at point c.
