What is double eyelid stitching?

In double eyelid surgery, a crease is made in the upper eyelid such that it makes your eyes appear wider and larger. Asian women do not have a natural fold in their eyes so this surgery is getting quite a fuss in Asia, especially East Asia. It can make you more western. But that is just one of the advantages it carries. However, the motive that started this surgery was different.

As you age, the skin around your eyes becomes more fat [or muscular] causing the skin of eyelid to sag and drop. This might even cause trouble with your vision and can also make you appear sleepy or inattentive. And this can lead to frustration, fatigue, irritation, and in some cases loss of peripheral vision. So, you can think double eyelid stitching as more of a medical procedure than a cosmetic one.

Well, everything comes with a price and this one too. Double eyelid stitching can have various side effects, major [not all] of them are written here:

  1. Excessive dry eyes, sometimes, bleeding
  2. Difficulty in closing the eyes
  3. Infection in various eyes parts leading to Damage in the cornea
  4. Numbness or tingling effect in the eye
  5. Loss of vision [if you are extremely unlucky]
