✨ Scar-Free Techniques Used in Eyelid Surgery
JK Plastic Surgery employs advanced, minimally invasive surgical methods to prevent scarring and promote fast healing:
🔹 1. Non-Incisional Double Eyelid Surgery
- Ideal for patients with thin eyelid skin and no sagging
- No external incision; instead, a series of tiny punctures are used to create the crease
- No visible scar, very minimal swelling
- Quick recovery—patients can return to sightseeing within days
🔹 2. Transconjunctival Lower Eyelid Surgery
- For under-eye bags and fat removal without any skin incision
- Access through the inner side of the eyelid
- Zero visible scarring and lower risk of eyelid distortion
🔹 3. Epicanthoplasty and Ptosis Repair
- Carefully placed incisions along natural folds or lash lines
- Absorbable sutures and ultra-fine stitching techniques
- Ensures scars are virtually invisible once healed
🔍 Advanced Technology for Scar Prevention
JK Plastic Surgery enhances their surgical methods with cutting-edge technology designed to minimize trauma and optimize healing:
● High-Resolution 3D Imaging
Used to simulate results and guide precise incision placement along natural eye contours.
