Thanks for the question. Bilateral simply refers to the surgery being performed on both eyes.The upper eyelids can be treated for with an eyelid tuck, a living of drooping eyelid, or contouring of the fat in the eyelidsthe lower eyelids can be treated with these as wellThe saggy lower eyelids that are pulled away from the eyes can be treated if they are rolling outward or pulled downward with gravity (ectropion and/or retraction) Hope this helps Best Wishes
Bilateral means "both sides," where unilateral means "one side."Eyelid surgery can refer to the upper or lower eyelids. Eyelid surgery is also called eyelid lift or blepharoplasty. This is a surgery that removes the extra, hanging skin either above or below the eye. Sometimes the upper eyelid surgery can be covered by insurance if certain tests are performed that meet insurance criteria.
Bilateral eyelid surgery just refers to both eyes being performed. Patients can undergo both upper eyelid surgery, or both lower eye lid surgery. In most cases, both eyelids are usually performed together to keep them balanced and adjust any asymmetries.
Bilateral eyelid surgery means operating on both eyes. Bilateral upper eyelid surgery involves operating on both upper eyelids, bilateral lower eyelid surgery involves operating on both lower eyelids,and bilateral upper and lower eyelid surgery obviously involves operating on both upper and lower eyelids. Blepharoplasty (eyelid tuck or eyelid surgery) is one of my favorite procedures that usually gives excellent results with minimal discomfort and a quick recovery.
In medicine, bilateral mean both sides. There are four eyelids. Two upper eyelids and two lower eyelids. Bilateral eyelid surgery just means that both sides are having surgery at the same time. A person could have upper eyelid surgery, lower eyelid surgery or both.
Eyelid surgery can be performed under local anesthesia. It is not a painful procedure. Most patients do not require pain medication postoperatively. Be sure to have your surgery performed by a board certified surgeon with expertise in eyelid surgery.

The short answer to your question is yes. Howevedr, you need to see an Oculoplastic surgeon to determine whether this is the best solution for you. There may be better solutions.
Stitch marks on the eyelids generally fade over time. Overall, the eyelid heals exceptionally well, but you have to give it time. In general, we like to say that it takes about a full year for an incision or cut to heal. If you had debris in there that wasn't cleaned out fully, that might leave...
From the limited photograph, it appears that there is ptosis present which is a weakness of the Eyelid muscles that hold the upper eyelid open. Ptosis repairs usually performed by ocular plastic surgeon. Cosmetic eyelid surgery will be of no benefit.
You would probably benefit from an in person consultation with a plastic surgeon in Gangnam. Before consenting to surgery, you might consider fillers to try to make your eyelids look better (more Asian).
