Because the eyes are the first part of the face people look at, they greatly determine a person's first impression and have a considerable effect on the overall atmosphere of the face. For this reason eye surgery has long been counted as the most preferred plastic surgery.
Such eye surgery must be approached carefully in line with overall facial harmony and the characteristics of each person's eye structure, and if it is not, the balance can break and the result can look overdone. Shin Eun-a (female, 22), who decided on surgery after a long-standing complex about her eyes, admired a Hollywood star so much that she had large Western-style double eyelids created along with canthoplasty, but those around her say the surgery is obvious to anyone. Taken on their own her eyes are pretty, but she is stressed by the constant remark that as a whole they look overdone.
Joo Hyun-jung (female, 25) has the opposite concern - the surgery does not show 'enough.' She had the surgery because she wanted to look prettier, but since her eyes were so small to begin with, double eyelid surgery alone did not give her the open look she wanted, and because of the awkward double eyelid line her eyes actually look more closed. She even hears that she looks as sleepy and tired as before the surgery, and with satisfaction markedly low she feels upset.
Dr. Yoosuk Chung of TheLINE Plastic Surgery said, "If you had surgery for showy, wide-open eyes but the result is so overdone that anyone can tell, or if you had surgery and yet do not feel prettier or notice any satisfying change, you are bound to feel upset," adding, "Eye surgery today tends to favor methods that resolve multiple eye concerns at once to raise satisfaction as much as possible while still looking as natural as if it were original."
Double eyelid surgery, the commonly known eye procedure, can be performed with a variety of methods depending on the patient's eyelid thickness, degree of drooping, and fat volume. Among them, the natural adhesion technique, which leaves no concern about surgical scars because no incision is made, induces adhesion between the skin and the subcutaneous tissue to complete a line that looks as natural as if it were original, while being less likely to come loose than the buried suture technique, so it can be seen as an upgraded version of the conventional buried suture technique.
Crystal eye surgery, a form of this natural adhesion technique, combines epicanthoplasty or lateral canthoplasty of the necessary area with double eyelid surgery to create a more open look while still producing a line as natural as if it were inborn.
Non-incisional ptosis correction, which pairs well with buried-suture double eyelid surgery as well as with Crystal eye surgery, is often chosen by people like Joo Hyun-jung whose eye-opening muscles are weak, making them look slightly sleepy or their eyes uneven. By creating knots in the eye-opening muscle and the double eyelid line, it adjusts both the strength and the elasticity of the levator palpebrae muscle to produce more distinct, clearly defined eyes.
Dr. Jeonghwan Jeon said, "Choosing the method suited to you among the various eye procedures through consultation with an experienced specialist is the way to raise surgical satisfaction," adding, "You should choose the method - double eyelid surgery, canthoplasty, non-incisional ptosis correction - with overall facial harmony and your individual eye structure in mind, and for ptosis correction in particular it is important to first have an experienced eye surgery specialist accurately diagnose whether ptosis is present."
