Instead of making a full cut across your eyelid, the surgeon makes tiny micro-punctures. They then thread a very fine, specialized suture through these tiny holes to tie the skin to the levator muscle. This creates a natural crease without a long scar!<\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color:#fff3e0; border-left:4px solid #ffb74d; padding:15px; margin:20px 0; border-radius:0 8px 8px 0;\"><strong>\ud83d\udca1 Did you know!<\/strong><br \/>Korean clinics have advanced this technique so much that the chances of the fold &#8220;untying&#8221; (a common issue in the past) have dropped significantly.
