According to a recent release from the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, one in five women in Korea has had plastic surgery, and among those procedures eye surgery accounted for the largest share. The analysis is that it reflects women's wish for bright, open eyes that are large and beautiful.
Eye surgery has a highly visible effect and is one of the areas that most influence a person's impression, and it has become fairly widespread. However, some people who rushed into double eyelid surgery after being drawn in by cheap promotional advertising do not get satisfying results, or are left with severe scarring, and end up considering eyelid revision surgery.
On this, Dr. Yoosuk Chung of TheLINE Plastic Surgery advised, "If you are considering eyelid revision or eye surgery, it is good to analyze exactly why the first surgery failed and choose the technique that suits you," adding, "Because the key to eye surgery is creating a line that harmonizes with the individual's face, it helps to choose a surgeon with practiced technique and a refined aesthetic sense."
Generally, the ideal eye proportion can be seen as the distance between the eyes being equal to the distance between the two nostril wings, with the innermost corner of the eye connecting vertically to the nostril wing. In addition, to reach the best result for you, planning the eye shape by weighing the harmony between the face shape and the features is one sensible approach.
In eyelid revision, the tissue is already damaged from the first surgery, which makes correction difficult, and the design must account for a new crease, so the technique is complex. The approach also varies depending on each person's eye shape, skin thickness, and amount of muscle or fat, so various detailed examinations are needed, including the scarring and degree of adhesion at the existing crease.
Depending on the condition of the eyelid and the amount of fat, double eyelid revision can be performed with the buried suture, incisional or partial incision method. Also, when there is an epicanthal fold and the eye is narrow both horizontally and vertically, epicanthoplasty and lateral canthoplasty may be used, and when the eye-opening muscle is weak, ptosis correction is used for eye shape correction, so various techniques are applied according to each individual's eye condition and characteristics.
Dr. Kirin Park of the clinic advised, "As with all surgery, safety must come first, and it is best to decide after a thorough consultation with a specialist," adding, "It is also good to compare and analyze in detail the techniques and know-how of medical teams specializing in eyelid revision before deciding."
