Sausage eyes: Into sharp, clear, and natural-looking eyes!!

SH Plastic Surgery

Eyes play a very important role

in creating a person's image.

It is no exaggeration to say that the eyes

make up most of an impression,

playing a crucial role in defining that person's impression.

Especially in these times of COVID-19,

where wearing a mask has become routine,

the role played by the eyes inevitably becomes even greater.

That is why, if you do not have double eyelids,

or if you have double eyelids but have sausage eyes,

or if you simply do not like the shape of your eyes,

you may consider eye surgery.

Among eye surgeries, the most common

and frequently performed surgery is

the procedure of creating double eyelids.

Creating double eyelids is a process of making

the eyelid fold once when opening the eyes;

it makes the eyes look bigger and improves a dull or stuffy impression,

which leads to high satisfaction.

The recovery period is relatively short,

and since many people have been doing it for a long time,

plenty of reviews can be found,

making it one of the procedures

that is still actively performed today.

When creating double eyelids, various methods are used,

such as the incisional method, non-incisional method,

and partial incision method,

and the procedure is carried out using the appropriate method

depending on the eyelid's thickness, wrinkles, muscle volume, and other factors.

If it is performed non-incisionally,

after designing a double eyelid line of an appropriate height,

the incision window can be extended if necessary to remove fat, and

by stitching the skin and the tarsal plate with dedicated special thread,

it is a method that induces adhesion.

Without incising the eyelid skin,

by making small holes and inserting the thread under the skin,

it creates a natural look as if untouched,

allowing for the creation of an eye line,

which is why it is preferred by many people.

making it suitable for cases where the eyelids are thin and not sagging,

In cases where a double eyelid exists on only one side,

the double eyelid repeatedly appears and disappears,

or when a quick recovery after treatment is desired,

the non-incisional method can be applied; however,

if there are many wrinkles on the eyelid,

if the eyes are drooping due to weak levator palpebrae superioris muscles,

or if the eyes have a lot of muscle mass,

the line may look thick like "sausage eyes"

or wrinkles may overlap into 2 or 3 layers,

so it is recommended to make a decision through thorough consultation

before undergoing the improvement.

The non-incisional method, as a single procedure,

can bring clear and natural-looking eyes,

eyes that harmonize with the face,

and can transform them into larger and clearer-looking eyes,

changing your look into a favorable impression,

providing various effects.

The incisional method designs the height that suits the individual,

then incises the skin,

and removes unnecessary muscle, skin, and fat.

And meticulously, so that no scars remain,

This is a method of suturing the skin.

it is suitable for cases where the eyelids are thick with a lot of fat,

the eyelids are stretched and sagging,

When you want a clearer and firmer line,

it can be applied to almost any type of eye,

and it is a commonly performed method.

The incisional method can create clear and distinct double eyelids,

resulting in large double eyelids and well-defined eyes.

In addition, by removing skin muscle and fat,

it is effective in correcting ptosis,

and can create permanent eyes without worrying about them coming undone.

The partial incisional method is an intermediate form between

the incisional and non-incisional methods; through a small incision,

fat is removed, and fixation can be performed

while directly checking the dermis and fascia.

Compared to the non-incisional method, it has a lower chance of coming undone,

and compared to the incisional method, it causes less swelling and scarring.

When desiring double eyelids with stronger fixation than the buried method

fat or muscle in the eyelids,

due to fat or muscle in the eyelids,

If you want double eyelids,

when a full incision of the eyelid

feels burdensome,

or when the double eyelid came undone after using the buried method,

the partial incisional method can be applied.

The partial incisional method compensates for the shortcomings of

the incisional and non-incisional methods while combining only their advantages;

it can be seen as a method that reduces

swelling, scarring, and the overall burden.

Even though the process of creating double eyelids has been done for a long time

and many people receive it,

it is important to thoroughly check the skill level of the medical staff

before making a choice.

This is because if a procedure is carried out based on a flawed plan,

not only can scar tissue, asymmetrical lines, and unraveling occur,

but side effects such as lagophthalmos and "sausage eyes"

may also arise.

Scar tissue refers to a condition where swelling at the incision site

does not subside and remains,

or clumps together firmly, causing the skin surface

to become uneven or hardened;

in such forms,

from the perspective of a layperson rather than medical staff,

it is difficult to easily determine whether it is scar tissue

or typical swelling.

Lagophthalmos refers to a condition where the eyes cannot close completely

due to excessive skin excision,

and

"sausage eyes" refers to cases where, after creating a double eyelid,

the incision area swells or the line becomes excessively

thick;

not only does the swollen double eyelid line look

unnatural, but if the underlying cause of ptosis

remains unresolved, it can make one look sleepy

or, in severe cases, cause headaches.

When side effects such as scar tissue, lagophthalmos, and sausage eyes

occur like this,

you may have to go through this process all over again,

so when proceeding with this process for the first time,

it is best to carefully compare your options

before making a decision.

while directly visualizing the incision site with one's own eyes,

Minimizing tissue and nerve damage,
