The procedure
Double eyelid surgery
In Kyuhyun's words: “Double eyelid surgery”
Double eyelid surgery creates an upper-lid crease where none exists, by a buried-suture technique, a partial incision or a full incision (PMID 19336072). Surgery to form the crease is reported as the most common upper-eyelid procedure among Asian patients, with some people having it 2 to 3 times in a lifetime (PMID 26306083).
