As September arrived with its cool breezes, office worker A (33, female) began again to consider whether to have surgery on her widely spaced monolid eyes. Her complex and discomfort about her eyes had been growing, but because of her summer vacation schedule she missed the chance for a plastic surgery consultation, so she wants to have a professional consultation and proceed during the Chuseok holiday.
B, who has small eyes without double eyelids, spends a long time at the vanity during busy mornings because of eyes that show little change no matter how heavily she draws her eyeliner. What is more, the eyeliner she draws tends to smudge badly as the day goes on. Having to check the mirror and touch up her makeup again and again has also become exhausting.
What B worries about even more is her steadily drooping eyelids. She thinks that is why she often hears she looks tired, as if sleepy. Because she strains to keep her eyes wide open, wrinkles have even begun to appear on her forehead, so she decided to get a consultation with specialists during the holiday.
According to Dr. Yoosuk Chung of TheLINE Plastic Surgery, in eye surgery it is important to choose the procedure best suited to you with the harmony of the whole face in mind. We sometimes see people who want their eyes shaped exactly like a particular celebrity's, but only by considering harmony with the overall features, including the nose and face shape, can you obtain eyes as natural as if they were inborn.
The commonly known eye procedure is double eyelid surgery. The buried suture technique, suited to eyelids that are thin with little fat, is characterized by a method simple enough to be described as 'pinching,' and because it sutures with thread through tiny openings without an incision, swelling is markedly reduced. The natural adhesion technique, which can be seen as an upgraded version of the conventional buried suture technique, induces adhesion between the skin and the subcutaneous tissue to complete a line as natural as if it were original, while being less likely to come loose than the buried suture technique.
If you want clearer, more defined eyes at this point, you can consider Crystal eye surgery, a form of the natural adhesion technique. By combining epicanthoplasty or lateral canthoplasty of the necessary area with double eyelid surgery, larger, more open eyes can be created, and by closely assessing line changes according to eye movement and reflecting them in the surgery, an even more natural line can be obtained.
If drooping eyelids cover much of the pupil, or if you often hear that you look sleepy, consider ptosis, which can also cause forehead wrinkles, uneven eyes, and astigmatism. In this case, simple double eyelid surgery can look awkward, so non-incisional ptosis correction, which creates knots in the eye-opening muscle and the double eyelid line, can produce distinct, clearly defined eyes and also improve the various discomforts caused by ptosis.
Dr. Jeonghwan Jeon of TheLINE Plastic Surgery advised, "Eye surgery must apply a method suited to the patient's eyelid thickness, degree of drooping, and eye structure," adding, "Non-incisional ptosis correction in particular requires a diagnosis of whether ptosis is present, through one-on-one customized consultation with specialists."
