Eye surgery, which accounts for the largest demand among plastic surgery procedures in Korea, is simpler than facial contouring that shaves bone and has a shorter recovery period, but as with every plastic surgery procedure it must never be decided lightly.
Getting an accurate diagnosis of your own eye condition through a thorough consultation with a specialized medical team and correcting the problem is the way to raise satisfaction with the surgery. Without such a customized diagnosis, blindly copying a particular celebrity's eyes can lead to side effects and to considering eye revision surgery.
Cases that lead to eye revision surgery usually include a double eyelid line that does not suit the person's eyes and leaves an overdone impression, eyes that look even smaller after double eyelid surgery, a sleepy look because ptosis was left uncorrected, and a surgical scar that remains visible.
According to Dr. Yoosuk Chung, Director of TheLINE Plastic Surgery, since there are many kinds of eye surgery besides the widely known double eyelid procedure, such as canthoplasty on the areas that need it and ptosis correction, choosing the method that suits you while considering the overall balance of the face and the shape of the eyes matters more than anything.
With double eyelid surgery, it is necessary to create a natural double eyelid line while also carefully checking the clear exposure of the pupil and the natural movement of the eye as it closes and opens. If the eyelid is on the thin side, the natural adhesion method, an upgrade on the conventional non-incisional technique, can induce adhesion between the skin and the tissue beneath it without an incision, creating a double eyelid line without a scar.
If the eye is narrow in width so that a double eyelid still does not look open enough, canthoplasty on the areas that need it can create larger, clearer eyes. Crystal Eye Surgery, a form of the natural adhesion method, creates a natural double eyelid line while allowing customized canthoplasty that takes the facial line and overall balance into account.
If there are symptoms of ptosis, ptosis correction is a way to improve the various inconveniences and the dull look of the eyes. If the eyelid is thin and the drooping is not severe, non-incisional ptosis correction, which creates a knot between the muscle that opens the eye and the double eyelid line without an incision, can produce a more natural look, and it can be applied to eye revision surgery as well.
Dr. Junghwan Jeon, Director at the clinic, said, "Eye revision surgery has to put safety first, and since harmony with the individual's face is the key, it is necessary to choose a specialist in eye revision with rich procedural experience and know-how," adding, "Ptosis correction in particular is a more difficult procedure than ordinary double eyelid surgery, so it is better performed by a medical team with extensive experience."
