What exactly is double eyelid surgery?
It creates a crease in the upper lid. Rewind performs three versions: a non-incisional method with no cut, a partial-incision method opening about five to seven millimetres, and a full-incision method along the whole line. All three offer the same four line designs.
Non-incisional, partial incision or full incision — who decides?
The examination does. Lid thickness, the fat above the eye, how much iris the lid covers and whether an earlier crease came undone are the findings Rewind lists for each method. A preference formed before the examination often survives it, but not always.
What are the seven micro-anchor points?
They are the fixation points of Rewind's buried technique. Adhesion between skin and muscle is induced along the designed line and secured at seven points, each tied with double fixation, which the clinic gives as its reason for a lower risk of loosening.
Can a buried crease come undone later?
Yes. Rewind states that its doubled fixation makes loosening less likely and that rubbing the eyes hard or taking a blow to them can still produce bruising, swelling and a crease that slips. People who rub their eyes habitually are told this before choosing the method.
How much is opened in a partial-incision crease, and what comes out?
About five to seven millimetres of skin. Through that opening the surplus fat and muscle tissue is removed, then the crease is fixed. Rewind offers it to lids carrying enough fat that a buried crease would struggle to hold.
Why would I need a full incision?
Rewind lists it for thick lids with substantial fat, for lids drooping heavily across the iris, and for eyes that feel weighed down because the opening muscle is weak. It also allows the widest range of shape change, and it is the version that leaves a line on the surface.
What do in-line, semi-outline, in-out-line and outline mean?
They describe where the crease ends in relation to the inner corner, from a line tucked inside it to one carried outside. Rewind offers all four with every method, and which one suits you is decided from the shape and height of your own eye.
What is eyelid muscle correction, and when is it added?
It addresses a lid margin sitting low over the iris, the situation behind an eye that opens narrowly and a forehead that does the lifting. Rewind carries it as an addition to the crease operation. Published studies on Asian eyelids describe planning the two together in one sitting.
Is the muscle correction charged on top of the crease?
Yes, it is a separate listed item added to the method you have, so a plan including it costs more than the crease alone. It is quoted at consultation once the examination has decided whether it belongs in your case.
When can I wash my face and wear eye makeup again?
Washing resumes the day after the sutures are removed. Eye makeup waits a further one to two weeks after that, according to Rewind's own instruction. Saunas, steam rooms and sweat-raising exercise are set aside for about a week.
How long does the swelling last, and when does the scar stop looking red?
Rewind records swelling and bruising over roughly the first 48 hours after a buried crease, and one to two weeks for them to settle after an incisional one. For the incision line itself the clinic records redness recovering to a degree by about two months, when light makeup covers it.
What causes a thick, sausage-like fold, and can it be avoided?
Rewind attributes it to a line set too high, or to over-correction relative to the thickness of the skin and the volume of fat. That is why the design height is argued out against your own lid at consultation, and why a crease that looks right in a photograph cannot simply be ordered.
