What are the different shapes of double eyelids?

There are generally four types of double eyelids, namely European-American type, fan-shaped type, parallel type, and crescent type. Double eyelids have different characteristics and are suitable for different face shapes. For example, the European-American type of double eyelids is more suitable for those with more three-dimensional facial features, which will give a more stylish appearance, while the crescent type of double eyelids gives a very refreshing feeling.

Double eyelids can be roughly classified into four types: fan-shaped, crescent-shaped, parallel-shaped, and European-American type. The fan-shaped double eyelids can make people look more sexy and charming; the crescent-shaped double eyelids form a thin line far from the eyelid edge, giving a very refreshing appearance; the European-American type of double eyelids is suitable for those with more three-dimensional facial features, which will give a more stylish appearance; while the parallel-shaped double eyelids give a mature and stable impression.

There are generally two conventional surgical methods for double eyelids: one is suture embedding, and the other is surgical incision. The suture embedding method is suitable for those with thin upper eyelids, good skin elasticity, or those who do not need excessive skin removal. The advantages of the suture embedding method are small trauma, fast recovery, and a more natural appearance after surgery. The other method is the incision method, also known as the full-incision method, which involves cutting the upper eyelid and removing a certain amount of subcutaneous tissue, including the orbicularis oculi muscle. For those with loose upper eyelids, swollen skin, or excessive fat bulging, where a certain amount of tissue needs to be removed, the incision method is generally chosen because only the incision method can remove a certain amount of skin. The characteristics of the incision method are that the surgical effect is relatively precise, but the trauma is relatively severe, and the postoperative recovery is slower.
