Out-Line Double Eyelid (Out-Line Double Eyelid)
An outline double eyelid designed high and wide for eyes that read clearly and open from the front. We explain whom it suits and how the line height is planned.
Out-Line Double Eyelid, In short?
The outer-line design sets the crease relatively high and wide, creating a clear, open eye area seen from the front. Because the line shows plainly, the impression sharpens when wearing makeup. The height that suits varies with the thickness of the lid, the distance between brow and eye and the strength of eye opening, so it matters to design around facial proportion rather than overdoing it. Depending on the state of the lid, it is combined with whichever of buried suture, natural adhesion or incision suits.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of eyes does the outer-line crease suit?
Where the lid is thin and there is room between brow and eye, a high, wide outer line settles clearly. Where the lid is thick or eye opening weak, the line can look excessive, so its height is designed carefully.
What is the difference between the outer and inner lines?
The outer line sits high and wide for a clear, open impression from the front; the inner line low and narrow for a restrained, natural one. The height is decided by the eye and the image you want.
How is the height of the outer line decided?
Lid thickness, the distance between brow and eye and the strength of eye opening are considered together, and the height and width of the line are designed within a restrained range. Harmony with the proportions of the whole face comes first.
What is the scar like with an outer-line crease?
It differs with whether the line is made by buried suture, natural adhesion or incision. With incision, the scar sits inside the line, so it tends not to show when the eyes are open, and fading takes time.
Does the outer line always require incision?
Incision is not always needed; where the lid is thin, the buried-suture or natural adhesion methods can also make a clear line. Where the lid is thick or fat and skin sag, incision can favour holding power.
