Double Eyelid Line Design in Seoul, Korea
Double eyelid line design defines where the crease starts and how high it sits: in-line (inside the inner corner), in-out or semi-out line, or out-line. The choice depends on your epicanthal fold, eye length and the look you want.

How Double Eyelid Line Design works
An in-line crease starts inside the inner corner and gives a soft, natural look. In-out and semi-out lines start inside and widen toward the outer corner for a clearer look. An out-line is visible from the inner corner and looks bolder, often requiring epicanthoplasty.
Crease height matters as much as shape: a line set too high can look heavy or artificial. We design it with you while sitting and with your eyes open.
Our approach to Double Eyelid Line Design
Line simulation
Different heights and shapes are previewed before surgery.
Proportion-based
Eye length and inner-corner shape guide the choice.
Natural height
Lines are kept at a height that suits your eyelid thickness.

Double eyelid line types
| Line | Where it starts | Look |
|---|---|---|
| In-line | Inside the inner corner | Natural and soft |
| In-out / semi-out | Inside, widening outward | Natural but clearer |
| Out-line | Visible from the inner corner | Bold and open (often with epicanthoplasty) |
Risks and side effects of Double Eyelid Line Design
- Line looks too highOver-high lines can look heavy; conservative heights reduce this.
- AsymmetrySmall left–right differences can remain because the two eyes are rarely identical; minor touch-ups are occasionally needed.
- Swelling and bruisingMost visible swelling settles in 1–2 weeks; the crease keeps softening for 1–3 months.
All medical procedures carry risks. Your surgeon will review your medical history, explain the risks that apply to you and discuss alternatives before you decide.
Double Eyelid Line Design recovery timeline
| When | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Day 0 | Surgery and rest in a private recovery room; most patients return to their hotel the same day. Cold compresses start straight away. |
| Days 2–3 | Swelling and bruising usually peak. Keep your head elevated, walk gently and avoid alcohol, saunas and exercise. |
| Days 5–7 | Check-up at the clinic; stitches, splints or tapes are removed where used. Most patients are cleared to fly after this visit. |
| Week 2 | Most visible swelling has eased and many people return to desk work and light make-up. |
| Months 1–3 | Residual swelling keeps settling and the shape refines. Strenuous exercise is usually resumed after 4 weeks. |
| Months 6–12 | The final result is generally assessed at this stage. We follow up online after you return home. |
