Achieve your ideal eye area with advanced techniques! Flora Clinic Ikebukuro Branch: Eye Design Treatments

Flora Clinic Ikebukuro Branch’s eye design treatments prioritize “natural and elegant eye enhancement” performed in Japan.
We aim for beautifully harmonized eyes without unnaturalness by comprehensively designing not just double eyelids, but also eye width, vertical and horizontal balance, asymmetry, and harmony with facial expressions.
Our clinic offers a wide range of procedures, from non-incisional埋没法 to incisional methods, as well as medial and lateral canthoplasty. We provide customized eye design tailored to each individual’s bone structure, eyelid condition, and personal preferences.
For those seeking treatment during a short stay or wishing to consult beforehand while in China, we also offer online consultations, allowing you to plan your treatment with confidence before arriving in Japan.

Eyelid surgery significantly impacts facial appearance, yet it’s also an area where concerns like “Will it look unnatural?” or “Will I need revisions or corrections?” are common.
Particularly, aesthetic sensibilities differ between China and Japan. Even within the desire for “bigger eyes,” the ideal outcome varies depending on whether the focus is on a glamorous look or on elegance and harmony.
What I value most in eye area surgery is “not overdoing it” and “not disrupting the bone structure or facial expressions.”
The goal isn’t simply to widen the double eyelid crease or make incisions. True eye design involves considering the individual’s bone structure, eyelid thickness, eye opening pattern, and even facial expression movements, to create “eyes that are naturally beautiful for that person.”
At Flora Clinic Ikebukuro, a cosmetic surgery and dermatology clinic, our doctors handle everything from consultation to treatment planning and execution. We provide doctor-led, customized designs tailored to your condition and desires, rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
We also offer online consultations for those in China who wish to discuss their options beforehand. Whether you’re considering eye surgery for the first time in Japan or want to explore your options carefully, please feel free to consult with us.

1. Who Benefits from Eye Design Treatment

Flora Clinic Ikebukuro’s eye design treatment is suitable not only for those with a simple desire like “I want double eyelids,” but also for those who wish to naturally enhance the overall impression of their eye area.
At our clinic, we carefully assess the condition of the eyelids, bone structure, and your preferences before determining treatment suitability.
For those considering double eyelids but unsure which method suits them:

  • For those who want double eyelids but are unsure which method suits them

    “I want double eyelids, but I don’t know whether the suture method or incision method is better.” This concern is common among those considering eye area surgery for the first time.
    In our Eye Design Treatment, we assess eyelid thickness, skin condition, and how your eyes open before proposing a suitable method.
    We prioritize choices suited to your condition rather than deciding based solely on preference.

  • For those unsure between the suture method and incision method

    The suture method, which requires no incisions, and the incision method, which offers semi-permanent results, each have their own indications.
    At our clinic, our doctors determine not “which is better,” but “which is more suitable for your current condition.”
    We never push for an incision unnecessarily, nor do we perform the suture method when it’s not indicated.

  • For those who feel their eyes appear small or wide-set

    The perception of small eyes often stems not just from the double eyelid width, but also from factors like the epicanthal fold at the inner corner, unused space at the outer corner, or the overall vertical and horizontal balance.
    Our eye design treatments combine double eyelid surgery with procedures like epicanthoplasty (inner corner surgery) or canthoplasty (outer corner surgery), enabling comprehensive enhancement of eye size and overall impression.

  • Those who wish to receive treatment in Japan

    Desiring “safe, physician-performed aesthetic medical care in Japan,” our services are also suitable.
    Japanese aesthetic medicine is characterized as a medical practice where physicians consistently handle everything from consultation to procedure, with a focus on treatment design emphasizing safety and natural-looking results.
    Our clinic also offers online consultations, allowing you to consult beforehand while still in China.

  • For those wishing to minimize downtime as much as possible

    Eye area procedures are treatments where many hesitate to take the first step due to concerns about downtime.
    Our clinic offers options with reduced downtime, including non-incisional procedures.
    We explain the expected degree of swelling and bruising, as well as the estimated timeline to full recovery, for each procedure in advance, and propose a manageable schedule.

  • For those seeking harmonious changes across the entire face, not just the eyes

    Overemphasizing double eyelids alone can sometimes make the eye area appear unnatural.
    Our eye design treatments prioritize harmony with the overall facial balance and expressions.
    “Hardly noticeable that you’ve had work done,” “A natural improvement in appearance” This approach is ideal for those seeking such subtle yet effective changes.

  • For those wishing to complete everything from consultation to procedure during a short stay

    Depending on the treatment content, our Eye Design Treatment can be completed in a single visit from consultation to procedure.
    We offer smooth treatment plans for those visiting Japan on short stays or wishing to combine treatment with sightseeing.

2. The Concept of Eye Design Treatment

At Flora Clinic Ikebukuro, a cosmetic surgery and dermatology clinic, our Eye Design Treatment is not solely about creating double eyelids.
It is a medical approach that comprehensively refines the overall impression of the eye area, considering not only the position and width of the double eyelid line but also the horizontal and vertical width of the eyes, asymmetry, and harmony with bone structure and facial expressions.

1) What is the concept behind Eye Design Treatment?

Generally, the term “double eyelid surgery” may lead many to imagine treatments that create a double eyelid line using methods like the suture method or incision method.
However, in reality, the impression of the eye area is determined by multiple overlapping factors:

  • The width and position of the double eyelid line
  • the shape of the inner and outer corners of the eyes
  • vertical opening
  • eyelid thickness and bone structure

These multiple factors combine to determine the overall impression.
In Eye Design Treatment, the goal is not simply creating a double eyelid but achieving “eyes that look natural and beautiful for that individual.”

2) Why is “Comprehensive Design” Necessary?

“Even after getting double eyelids, my eyes don’t look as big as I expected.”
“I got double eyelids, but they feel unnatural somehow.”
These issues often arise when procedures focus solely on the double eyelid line.
Particularly in cases with characteristics such as:

  • Strong epicanthal folds
  • Narrow horizontal eye width
  • Limited vertical opening

Simply widening the double eyelid crease often fails to achieve the desired impression.
Eye design treatment prioritizes “how to harmonize” rather than “which procedure to perform,” combining multiple options as needed in the design process.

3) Flora Clinic Ikebukuro’s Approach to Eye Design Treatment

At Flora Clinic Ikebukuro, a cosmetic surgery and dermatology clinic, we prioritize “harmonious refinement” over “dramatic alteration.”
Rather than forcibly widening the double eyelid crease or performing excessive incisions, we create doctor-led, customized designs that avoid overdoing it. This involves considering bone structure, eyelid condition, facial expression movement, and even age.
For patients visiting from China, we also provide a system where, through prior online consultations, we carefully share the concepts of “naturalness” and “harmony” emphasized in Japanese aesthetic medicine, ensuring patients receive treatment only after full understanding and agreement.

3. Types and Positioning of Eye Area Design Treatments

At Flora Clinic Ikebukuro, a cosmetic surgery and dermatology clinic, our eye area design treatments involve combining or performing individually several procedures depending on the patient’s goals and the condition of their eyelids and eye area.
Below are five representative procedures and their roles.

1) Buried Suture Method (Non-Invasive Double Eyelid Creation)

The Buried Suture Method creates double eyelids by suturing the eyelid without incisions.
The procedure time is short, and swelling and downtime are relatively minimal, making it popular even for first-time patients.

Positioning of the Buried Suture Method

  • Role: Often considered first as the “entry point” for eye area design
  • Characteristics: Since it only involves suture fixation, postoperative swelling and bruising are relatively mild

Features of Flora Clinic Ikebukuro Branch (Cosmetic Surgery & Dermatology)

The standard buried suture method creates double eyelids relatively simply by fixing the suture at specific points. Suitability and the stability of the final result vary depending on the suture fixation technique and the number of fixation points.

Standard Double Eyelid Buried Suture Method
Standard Double Buried Suture Method

Meanwhile, our clinic employs the Flora Loop suture fixation method.
This is our original technique, where the thread is passed through a continuous “line,” creating a structure that uniformly supports the entire line.

  • Easier to achieve a natural-looking double eyelid line
  • The thread disperses force, making it less likely to slip out even under pressure
  • Designed to minimize thread knots and discomfort
  • A method aimed at reducing swelling and visibility

Therefore, it is ideal for those seeking a natural and stable double eyelid.

Flora Loop

Compared to “Flora Loop,” this type features more thread fixation points, enhancing the stability of the double eyelid line.

  • Choose this when you want the line shape to hold firmly
  • The doctor will determine the optimal method based on your eyelid condition

*While the buried suture method offers diverse options, its suitability varies depending on eyelid thickness and excess skin. Consultation with an experienced doctor is crucial.

Flora Double

2) Incision Method (Partial Incision / Full Incision)

Incision Method: A technique that creates a double eyelid line by making an incision in the eyelid skin.

  • Purpose: Aiming for semi-permanent stability in double eyelid formation compared to the suture method.
  • Characteristics: Allows adjustment of eyelid thickness and sagging, resulting in a long-lasting outcome.
  • Suitable For: Individuals for whom the suture method alone struggles to achieve the ideal line, or those with thicker skin.

The incision method includes both partial incision and full incision techniques, making it suitable for those prioritizing stability and longevity in the final result.

Double Eyelid Surgery

3) Inner Canthus Surgery

Inner canthus surgery adjusts the epicanthal fold (skin at the inner corner of the eye) to widen the inner eye width and improve compatibility with parallel-type double eyelids.
Standard inner canthus surgery removes and adjusts excess skin at the inner corner, narrowing the distance between the eyes and making them appear larger.
It is often used as a supplementary procedure to balance the double eyelid line.

The Z-plasty technique involves swapping and suturing the skin flaps (A and B) of the epicanthal fold.
This method naturally brings the inner corner closer to the nose while reducing skin tension.
By repositioning the skin fold, the pink area at the inner corner (the lacrimal papilla) becomes visible. This design is sometimes chosen as it facilitates creating a natural-looking parallel double eyelid.
It is recommended for the following cases:

  • Those who desire a natural-looking double eyelid line
  • Those with pronounced epicanthal folds making it difficult to achieve a double eyelid width
  • Those aiming for a natural parallel-type double eyelid
Inner Canthoplasty

4) Outer Canthoplasty

Outer Canthoplasty is an auxiliary procedure that slightly incises the outer corner of the eye to widen the overall horizontal width.

  • It is performed to
  • balance the eye width

and create a more harmonious horizontal impression. The necessity is determined by assessing the patient’s bone structure and eye shape.

Ideal Candidates

  • Those seeking to balance the width between their eyes
  • Those wishing to adjust the space at the outer corners for a more elongated horizontal appearance
Lateral Canthoplasty

These procedures are not intended to be standalone solutions but rather positioned as options for refining the overall impression of the eye area.
At Flora Clinic Ikebukuro, a cosmetic surgery and dermatology clinic, we design treatments to harmonize the entire eye area without overdoing it. We do this by optimally combining necessary procedures based on your bone structure, eyelid condition, and desired outcome.

6. Treatment Process

While there are slight differences depending on the specific procedure—such as double eyelid surgery or inner/outer canthoplasty—the basic process is the same.
At Flora Clinic Ikebukuro, a cosmetic surgery and dermatology clinic, we prioritize thorough consultations and explanations to ensure both first-time patients in Japan and those visiting from China feel comfortable receiving treatment.

1) Consultation & Examination

First, a consultation and examination by a physician will be conducted.
We carefully listen not only to your desires, such as wanting double eyelids or larger-looking eyes, but also to:

  • The specific impression you wish to achieve
  • Any concerns you may have
  • Your preferences regarding downtime and length of stay

During the examination, the physician will assess eyelid thickness, skin condition, eye opening, asymmetry, and balance with your bone structure to determine whether Eye Design Treatment is suitable for you.
For patients visiting from China, online consultations are available prior to arrival in Japan.

2) Eye Design & Treatment Planning

Based on the examination findings, the doctor plans which procedure(s) to perform or which combinations are appropriate.

  • Whether to use the suture method or incision method
  • Whether inner or outer canthoplasty is needed
  • The desired width and shape of the final result

These decisions are not made unilaterally.
The doctor’s professional judgment is carefully aligned with the patient’s wishes.
We never pressure patients into procedures. If a procedure is not suitable or if another option might be more appropriate in the future, we explain this honestly.

3) Procedure (Eye Design Treatment)

On the day of the procedure, local anesthesia is administered based on the treatment content.
The anesthesia minimizes significant pain during the procedure.
Procedure time varies by treatment but typically takes 30 minutes to 1 hour.
The doctor carefully monitors your condition and performs the procedure with gentle, controlled movements following the pre-designed plan.

4) Post-Procedure Check & Aftercare Explanation

After the procedure, you’ll check the results in a mirror while the doctor explains the expected recovery process and important aftercare points.
We also provide detailed guidance at this time regarding:

  • Estimated swelling and bruising
  • Timeframe until final results
  • Daily life precautions

For most procedures, you can return home the same day.
Depending on the treatment, it is possible to complete everything from consultation to procedure in a single visit.

Key Considerations Regarding the Treatment Process

For eye design treatments, the entire process—including consultation, design, and explanation—is crucial, not just the procedure itself.
At Flora Clinic Ikebukuro, we prioritize ensuring you are fully satisfied with your treatment over rushing through it.

7. Downtime, Precautions, and Ineligible Candidates

Eye design treatments vary in downtime and recovery depending on the procedure.
Here, we explain the general post-treatment course, precautions, and cases where treatment is not suitable.
At Flora Clinic Ikebukuro, we carefully explain downtime and risks beforehand and propose a treatment plan that is manageable for you.

1) Downtime (by Procedure Type)

Buried Suture Method (Including Flora Loop & Flora Double)

  • Mild swelling
  • Minimal bruising
  • Tightness/discomfort

Estimated Recovery Timeline

  • Swelling: Several days to about 1 week
  • Bruising: If present, about 1-2 weeks
  • Double eyelid line stabilization: Around 1 month

As it does not involve incisions, downtime is relatively short, making it suitable for treatments during short stays.

Incision Method (Partial Incision/Full Incision)

Main Symptoms

  • Swelling
  • Bruising
  • Discomfort at suture sites

Estimated Recovery Timeline

  • Significant swelling: 1-2 weeks
  • Suture removal: 5-7 days
  • Natural appearance: 1-3 months

The incision method tends to have longer downtime, but in return, it offers the expectation of a stable double eyelid line.

Inner Corner Blepharoplasty (Including Z-Plasty)

Main Symptoms

  • Swelling in the inner corner area
  • Bruising
  • Redness

Recovery Timeline

  • Suture Removal: 5-7 days
  • Redness/Stiffness: Gradually improves over several weeks to months

Inner corner blepharoplasty including Z-plasty may take time to settle into a natural shape.

Outer Canthoplasty

Main Symptoms

  • Mild swelling
  • Bruising
  • Tightness

Recovery Timeline

  • Suture removal: 5-7 days
  • Swelling: Approximately 1-2 weeks

2) Post-Procedure Precautions

To prevent complications and ensure stable results, please observe the following:

  • Avoid rubbing the eye area vigorously on the day of surgery
  • Refrain from prolonged bathing, saunas, or strenuous exercise for several days
  • Follow the doctor’s instructions regarding makeup
  • Practice UV protection
  • Consult promptly if experiencing severe pain or abnormalities

Specific precautions tailored to your procedure will be explained individually after surgery.

Q1. Is it okay if I don’t speak Japanese? Can I consult beforehand while still in China?

Yes, that’s perfectly fine.
Our clinic offers online consultations utilizing the metaverse, allowing you to consult while still in China.
We use translation tools and materials to clearly explain the procedure details, risks, and downtime.
Confirming the treatment plan before your trip to Japan ensures a smooth procedure upon arrival.

Q2. Can I complete everything from consultation to procedure in one visit?

It depends on the procedure, but for suture-based methods and some eye treatments, completion in one visit is common.
For procedures involving incisions, follow-up visits may be necessary for progress checks or suture removal.
If you have limited time during your stay, please discuss your schedule during your initial consultation.

Q3. What is the difference between eye area procedures done in China and those done in Japan?

Japanese aesthetic medicine is a medical practice performed by doctors who conduct examinations and procedures. It is characterized by a focus on safety, natural results, and long-term stability.
At Flora Clinic Ikebukuro, we prioritize designs that emphasize harmony with your bone structure and facial expressions over drastically altering your appearance.

Q4. Will the results look unnatural?

Our eye design treatments emphasize a restrained approach.
We avoid excessively widening the double eyelid crease or making unnecessary incisions.
After the doctor assesses your bone structure and eye opening pattern, we aim for a natural, seamless result.

Q5. Which is more popular: the suture method or the incision method?

For first-time eye surgery patients, many tend to choose the buried suture method due to its shorter downtime.
On the other hand, the incision method may be more suitable for those with thicker eyelids or who prioritize long-term stability.
The doctor will determine which method is best suited during the consultation.

Q6. Can I go sightseeing or go out during the downtime?

Depending on the procedure, many patients who undergo the buried suture method, for example, can go out on the day of the procedure.
For procedures involving incisions, swelling and bruising may occur, so some patients wear sunglasses or hats when going out.
We will explain the estimated downtime in detail beforehand.

Q7. Is revision ever necessary?

In rare cases, revision may be needed due to asymmetry or changes in the line.
At our clinic, we monitor your post-operative progress and will guide you on appropriate actions if necessary.
We also explain the possibility and conditions for revision during the consultation.

Q8. What age groups typically undergo eye design treatments?

Patients across a wide age range, primarily in their 20s to 40s, receive treatment.
Younger individuals often seek treatments to “refine their overall impression,” while older individuals frequently aim for “adjustments to accommodate changes in their eyelids.”

Q9. Can this treatment be combined with other procedures?

Yes, it is possible.
Eye design treatments can be combined with other aesthetic medical procedures.
However, the order and timing of procedures are important, so our doctors will propose a plan considering safety.

Q10. I’m anxious because this is my first time receiving cosmetic medical treatment in Japan.

Please rest assured, even if it’s your first time.
At our clinic, doctors handle everything consistently, from online consultations before your arrival in Japan to explanations after the procedure.
We have a system in place to support those who wish to “receive natural-looking eye area enhancement safely in Japan.”

10. Finally|For Those Seeking Eye Design Treatments in Japan with Peace of Mind

Eye design treatments are not solely about creating double eyelids.
They are medical procedures that refine the eye area’s impression while considering the individual’s bone structure, facial expressions, and overall facial harmony.
However, incorrect choices in procedure selection or design judgment can lead to results like “looking unnatural” or “appearing overdone.”
This is precisely why the physician’s diagnostic skills and design expertise are crucial for this treatment.
At Flora Clinic Ikebukuro, a cosmetic surgery and dermatology clinic, we prioritize creating natural-looking, balanced eye designs by carefully combining only the necessary procedures from multiple options like double eyelid surgery, epicanthoplasty, and canthoplasty.
Additionally, for patients visiting from China, we offer online consultations before their trip to Japan, thoroughly explaining the principles of “safety,” “naturalness,” and “harmony” that Japanese cosmetic medicine emphasizes.
For those considering treatment during a short stay, those experiencing aesthetic medicine in Japan for the first time, or those seeking eye area enhancement after careful consideration, we provide a reassuring environment for consultation.
Not about “radical change,” but natural, beautiful, and seamless refinement.
If you wish to undergo eye area design treatment with confidence in Japan, we invite you to consult with Flora Clinic’s Ikebukuro Branch.
