Some people chose 'eye surgery' to overcome a complex and gain open, bright eyes, only to feel down about a result different from what they imagined. With the new school term, there are even those who say they are afraid to go to school because their eyes look unnatural.
Ms. A (20, female), a college freshman who had double eyelid surgery right after her entrance exam, is one such case, and she is still troubled by her unnatural eyes several months after the operation. She had eye surgery so that she could start college life with confidence, but because her eyes look awkward she feels that the classmates she met at the entrance ceremony are whispering about her, and she has grown more withdrawn than before the surgery.
The trouble was that only a large double eyelid was created without considering her own narrow eye width. The proportions of her eyes do not match, so they look startled and overdone, and she still hears that she looks sleepy. The surgery she had in order to look prettier only brought another complex, and she is already considering eye revision surgery.
Dr. Yoosuk Chung, Director of TheLINE Plastic Surgery, says, "Because eye surgery is the most widely known procedure, some people take it lightly, but it is not like that at all." As with every plastic surgery procedure it calls for care, and it has to be carried out as a correction of the problems identified after assessing your own eye condition through a thorough consultation with a medical team specialized in eye surgery.
If the eyes look heavy because of a narrow width, combining canthoplasty rather than having double eyelid surgery alone helps improve them. Crystal Eye Surgery, which performs double eyelid surgery and epicanthoplasty at the same time, is a representative method that creates a natural double eyelid line as well as open, bright eyes.
If a drooping eyelid covers the pupil and leaves a sleepy look, the way forward is to be diagnosed for ptosis and have ptosis correction. Non-incisional ptosis correction has the advantage of less swelling and faster recovery than the incisional approach, and by creating a knot between the muscle that opens the eye and the double eyelid line it adjusts the strength and elasticity of the levator muscle as well, giving clearer, more defined eyes.
Dr. Junghwan Jeon, Director at the clinic, said, "Eye revision surgery must also put safety first, and since harmony with the individual's face is the key, the surgeon's procedural experience and know-how matter," adding, "It is good to choose a medical team specialized in eye revision that can create a natural double eyelid line while also checking the clear exposure of the pupil and the natural movement of the eye as it closes and opens."
