Hello to all my friends in Surat Thani, Koh Samui, the South, and everyone visiting this article. I am "Dr. Teng," Dr. Apirak Wongsawasup, a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon and the founder of Aurora Clinic.

Today, I’m stepping away from my role as an executive to speak with you as a "detail-obsessed artist" and a "beauty physician." Over my 14 years in surgery—from public hospital emergency rooms, where I stitched wounds to the millimeter to restore patients' faces, to aesthetic operating theaters creating perfection—I’ve discovered one truth:

"The eyes are the most powerful organ, and they cannot lie."

You can get lip fillers for a pouty look or a rhinoplasty to sharpen your profile, but your "gaze" is the primary way you communicate emotion and identity to the world. Bright eyes signal vitality; open eyes signal confidence. Conversely, droopy or "sleepy" eyes can make people think you are tired, sad, or exhausted, even when you feel perfectly happy inside.

The problem is that 90% of patients who visit Aurora Clinic come with misconceptions: "Doctor, I want this celebrity's exact eyes," or "Doctor, make the crease as big as possible and cut out lots of skin so it's worth the money."

I say this with great care: Stop right there! Double eyelid surgery is not like buying clothes that you can just change if they don't look good. It is a "structural reconstruction" of the smallest, most delicate area of your body. If it goes wrong, revision surgery is 10 times harder and 10 times more expensive than the first time!

I have written this "Double Eyelid Bible" so you can truly understand what makes a "good" double eyelid, how my Perfect Eye 3D Lift technique differs from others, and why you should trust Aurora Clinic with your eyes.

PART 1: Anatomy of Beauty – Decoding the Secrets of Eye Structure

Before I make a single incision, I must understand the "topography" of the patient. The eyelid is not just a thin layer of skin; it is a complex mechanism consisting of 5 main layers that affect beauty:

1. The Skin: The drooping curtain

Eyelid skin is the thinnest on the body. As we age, collagen and elastin degrade, causing the skin to sag (Dermatochalasis), hiding the natural crease or even obstructing vision.

The Fix: Precise skin excision calculated to the millimeter. Too much leads to an inability to close the eye; too little leaves the eye looking droopy.

2. The Orbital Fat: The cushioning

This fat protects the eyeball. Too much makes eyes look "puffy" or tired (like a goldfish); too little makes eyes look hollow and aged.

The Fix: I act as a sculptor, performing Fat Re-positioning to create a smooth, youthful contour.

3. The Levator Muscle: The heart of the matter

This is where many surgeries fail. If this muscle is weak (Ptosis), the eyes look sleepy. If a surgeon creates a crease without fixing the muscle, you end up with "Sausage Eyes"—thick, fake-looking creases on a sleepy eye.

The Fix: Ptosis Correction (tightening the muscle) to open the eye wider and reveal the pupil clearly.

4. The ROOF (Retro-Orbicularis Oculi Fat)

This is a deeper fat layer. In people with very thick eyelids, ignoring this layer keeps the eyes looking "bulky" even after removing orbital fat. I clear this to ensure a refined crease.

5. The Skeleton (Orbital Bone)

Bone structure determines whether a "high" or "low" crease is appropriate. We must work within your natural anatomy.

Self-Check: Which one are you?

Monolid: No fold at all.
Hidden Double Eyelid: A very small fold or skin sagging that covers the fold.
Ptosis (Sleepy Eyes): The eyelid margin covers more than 1-2mm of the pupil.
Hooded/Droopy Eyes: The outer corners droop, creating a "sad" look.
Asymmetry: Uneven folds (e.g., one side is a double eyelid, the other is a monolid).

PART 2: The "Perfect Eye 3D Lift" – Dr. Teng’s Signature Innovation

Say goodbye to drooping eyelids with the expert medical skill of Dr. Teng. This case shows a clear transformation just 7 days after the procedure! >> Sharper, more defined eyelids with a very clean scar thanks to the exclusive Perfect Eye 3D Lift long incision technique!!! ✨

Why choose the Perfect Eye 3D Lift?

How is it different from a standard 9,900 THB eyelid surgery? The answer lies in Dimension and Precision. A standard surgery creates a 2D scar/fold. My technique re-structures the eye across three dimensions:

Dimension 1: The Curve (Facial Harmony)

I use the Golden Ratio to calculate a curve that complements your eyebrows and orbital bone. It’s not just a straight line; it’s a soft, smooth slope that transforms "harsh" eyes into "sweet" eyes.

Dimension 2: The Depth (Dynamic Fold)

A beautiful eyelid must look natural during movement.

Closed: The scar must be smooth, not a deep, scary trench.
Open: The fold should tuck in softly. I use a Micro-Suture Technique (Internal Fixation) learned from microsurgery to hide the knots inside.

Dimension 3: The Lift (The Eyelash Secret!)

This is my "Magic Touch." I adjust the surface tension to achieve Eyelash Eversion (lifting the lashes by 10-15 degrees).

Result: Eyes look naturally bright and open, similar to the effect of wearing "Big Eye" contacts. It also solves the problem of downward-pointing lashes (Trichiasis).

PART 3: Design Your Eyes – Choosing Your Style

At Aurora Clinic, we categorize popular styles into three "Teams" to help you choose:

1. The Korean Natural (In-Out Line)

Look: A fan-shaped fold that starts narrow at the inner corner and widens toward the outer corner.
Best for: Those who want a "Make-up no Make-up" look and don't want people to know they had surgery.

2. The Western Look (Parallel Line)

Look: A high, bold fold that runs parallel to the lash line from start to finish.
Best for: Influencers or those who love heavy makeup and false lashes. Requires a high nose bridge and deep sockets to look natural.

3. The Hybrid (Semi-Parallel / Baby Line):

Look: The best of both worlds. An open inner corner with a moderate, sweet fold.
Best for: The modern Thai face. This is currently our most requested style!

PART 4: The Procedure – Does it hurt? (The Walkthrough)

I know the word "surgery" is scary. Let me walk you through the Aurora experience:

Step 1: The Design: I spend the most time here. We use a probe to simulate the fold in the mirror until you say, "That's the one!"
Step 2: Pain Management: We use "Cold Anesthesia." We apply extreme cold to numb the skin, then use the world's smallest needle (32G—thinner than a hair). Most patients say it feels like a tiny ant bite for only 1-2 seconds.
Step 3: The Surgery: I use an RF Knife (Radio Frequency) to minimize bleeding and bruising. I perform the fat removal, skin excision, and muscle correction with fine sutures (Double Fixation).
Step 4: The Mirror Moment: You see your new eyes immediately! Even with slight swelling from the anesthetic, you will see the transformation.

PART 5: Rescue Mission! Eyelid Revisions

Revision surgery is common at Aurora Clinic. We often fix:

Undercorrection: The fold is still droopy because not enough skin was removed.
Ectropion: The eyelid turns outward (cannot close) because too much skin was removed.
Sausage Eyes: The fold is too high, looking fake and puffy.
Bad Scarring: Jagged or deep scars from imprecise suturing.

Why a Plastic Surgeon? Revision requires "clearing fibrosis" (scar tissue). It is a high-level skill to reconstruct a new fold from limited remaining tissue.

PART 6: Recovery Timeline – Your Journey to Beauty

Life became so much easier in just 7 days! #AuroraClinicByDrTeng #SuratThaniClinic #KohSamuiClinic #suratthani #DoubleEyelidSurgery

Days 1-3: Cold compress is your best friend! Keep it cold to reduce swelling.
Days 4-6: Switch to warm compresses to fade yellow bruising.
Day 7: Stitch removal. The "Day of Freedom."
Month 1: 70-80% of swelling is gone. You can start wearing eye makeup.
Months 3-6: 100% healed. The "Invisible Scar" stage. This is when you are at your most beautiful.

PART 7: Why Choose Aurora Clinic? (Surat Thani & Koh Samui)

Owner-Operator: Dr. Teng performs every single case. No "rotating doctors" or trainees.
Certified Specialist (License V.35777): I am a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon. This means 14 years of dedicated training (6 years Med school + 3 years General Surgery + 5 years Plastic Surgery).
Hospital Standard Facility: Our operating theater uses a Positive Pressure sterile system—not a standard treatment room.
Local Expertise: I understand the Southern Thai aesthetic—we want sharp, high-end beauty that doesn't look "fake."

Conclusion: Don't let "Price" define your "Face" forever.

Double eyelid surgery is a one-time investment that stays on your face for a lifetime. Don't choose based on a 5,900 THB promotion—because a revision will cost you six figures.

Choose a doctor who views you as a work of art, not a customer. If you are ready to open your eyes to a brighter life, come chat with me at Aurora Clinic (Surat Thani City or Koh Samui).

"Because for me, your smile in the mirror is the greatest reward."

💡 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: I have hidden double eyelids. Which technique is best?

Dr. Teng: Usually, this is caused by sagging skin. I recommend the Perfect Eye 3D Lift (Long Incision) to remove excess skin for a permanent, crisp fold.

Q: How do I know if I have Ptosis (Muscle Weakness)?

Dr. Teng: If you have to lift your eyebrows to see clearly, or friends ask if you're sleepy, you likely need muscle correction.

Q: Will I get keloids?

Dr. Teng: Eyelids are the least likely place on the body to develop keloids. With my deep-suture technique, the scar is hidden in the fold.

Q: I'm on Koh Samui. Do I have to travel to the mainland?

Dr. Teng: No! We have a branch in Bophut, Koh Samui, with the exact same hospital-grade standards.

Q: Is it possible for men to have double eyelid surgery (Male Blepharoplasty)?

Dr. Teng: It's possible and very popular! But the technique is different. Men need a smaller inner fold technique to create a sharper, more masculine look, avoiding an overly feminine appearance. Dr. Teng is very skilled at men's eye surgery.
