Currently, double eyelid surgery can be considered the most common cosmetic surgery. Compared to the past, the procedure is being performed using a wider variety of methods, and techniques that are simple and allow for quick recovery are gaining attention. Among these, the 'natural adhesion method' for double eyelid surgery, which requires no incision and has a short recovery period, has been receiving interest for the past several years.

Since the natural adhesion method does not involve skin incision, it leaves almost no scars and allows for rapid recovery, making it less burdensome to undergo surgery during a holiday, such as the upcoming Chuseok break. For college students and office workers who usually find it difficult to make time, the Chuseok holiday is an opportunity to change their image, so many are planning to undergo the natural adhesion method surgery. This Chuseok holiday period lasts about five days, including the weekend, which can be considered ample time for recovery after natural adhesion double eyelid surgery.

The natural adhesion method is a technique that creates fine grooves along the double eyelid line to induce natural adhesion between the skin and deep muscles. Patients can be discharged on the same day after surgery, and the recovery period is typically 2 to 3 days. A key feature is the ability to create natural-looking double eyelids that are barely visible even when the eyes are closed, as the crease is formed through these tiny grooves in the skin. While there are concerns that the line might loosen quickly due to its natural appearance, this phenomenon can be minimized by creating a stronger adhesion in addition to the existing suture-based surgical method.

However, because the natural adhesion method allows for a relatively quick recovery, people tend to take it too lightly. Many are swayed by various promotional events to reduce the financial burden, but this carries the risk of leading to multiple revision surgeries later due to side effects. Like other eye surgeries, the natural adhesion method requires extreme precision, and a single mistake can result in fatal side effects. Since a double eyelid must be created through a small groove without an incision, the surgery requires the doctor's specialized knowledge and extensive experience in eye surgery.

Dr. Do Eon-rok, Director of Gangnam 1mm Plastic Surgery, stated, “While it is true that the natural adhesion method has a relatively short operating time and places less burden on the patient compared to the incisional method, it is a procedure that requires inducing adhesions precisely through tiny grooves. Therefore, it demands specialized anatomical knowledge from the surgeon, and forcing adhesions can result in sunken scars. Perhaps due to the perception that this is a relatively less complicated procedure compared to others, I frequently encounter patients in my clinical practice who undergo the surgery without much consideration and then return for revision surgery due to side effects. Rather than hastily scheduling surgery to fit the holidays or selecting a hospital, it is crucial to carefully verify whether the surgeon is a specialist and has extensive experience in eye surgery before making a decision.”
