INTRODUCTIONDouble-fold operation is the most common type of aesthetic surgical procedure in Korea. However, due to its popularity, double-fold operation is associated with certain complications. An incision-type double-fold operation may cause dissatisfaction in new patients because too many variations are available for them to consider, including formation of a line without a coincident cutting line, asymmetry, and the difficulty in setting an appropriate eyelid length. Furthermore, reoperation can be problematic for not only new patients but also for quite experienced plastic surgeons due to the difficulty in the design of a new line, possible edema during the surgery, error due to hematoma, and the uncertain formation of eyelid lines.Therefore, to solve the above problems, the author designed a "first-buried then-incision" method. First, formation of the eyelid line, which is the final result of all blepharoplasty procedures, is performed; other procedures are performed later. The author obtained a satisfactory result with the procedure described above, which uses both the burying technique and the incision technique to ensure a rapid procedure and high reliability in primary and secondary cases. Nam Seok ParkPoint Plastic Surgery, Seoul, KoreaBackground Double-fold operation is one of the most common types of surgery in Korea and can be divided into two major surgical techniques, incisional and non-incisional methods. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, the author describes a new procedure to take advantage of both methods. Methods This procedure was performed in 127 consecutive patients (106 primary cases, 21 secondary cases) whose ages ranged from 19 to 65 years. First, a double-fold was made using the non-incisional method, and then excessive fat and redundant skin were removed using the incisional method. Fat was removed if necessary. For patients with blepharoptosis, before removing the redundant skin, this condition was corrected with the non-incisional Müller tucking ptosis method. Results Of the 127 patients, 122 patients were satisfied with the result. Edema and scarring were less than with the incisional method, and the postoperative result was easier to predict than with the secondary double-fold operation. Three cases had shallow eyelid lines, and one case had a complete loss of the fold. One secondary case patient had asymmetry that was corrected with revision. Conclusions Because satisfactory results can't be achieved easily with the double-fold operation, a challenge for plastic surgeons is choosing the best method for the doublefold operation, especially in secondary cases. This new method that uses a hybrid technique that combines the incisional and non-incisional methods may be an effective choice when performing the double-fold operation in both primary and secondary cases.

“…As técnicas cirúrgicas clássicas de ocidentalização (3,11,(15)(16)(17) , que procuram diminuir as diferenças anatômicas do olho oriental, atuam em várias estruturas das pálpebras e têm como acesso cirúrgico a ressecção fusiforme da pele da pálpebra superior que resulta em cicatriz na altura do sulco construído. Elas variam apenas na maneira de fixação da derme ao músculo elevador da pálpebra ou ao tarso e na intensidade.…”

“…Closure is carried out with a running 6–0 or 7–0 nylon, prolene, or mild chromic suture. Lid crease formation is dictated by the previous preoperative evaluation with the patient whether male or female, Asian or European 13,14 . A deeper, higher crease may be accomplished by supratarsal fixation; a maneuver where a small amount of the levator aponeurosis is included in the skin muscle‐closure.…”
