"Double Eyelid Surgery and Ptosis Correction Must Apply Customized Solutions Based on Individual Eye Shapes"

[Segye Biz = Reporter Park Hye-sun] As wearing masks has heightened interest in the eye area, an increasing number of people are seeking double eyelid surgery to make their eyes clearer and more attractive. Double eyelid surgery creates a fold in the eyelid when opening the eyes, helping to make the eyes appear larger and more defined while improving a dull or heavy impression.

Double eyelid surgery requires an individualized surgical plan based on an accurate analysis of each person's eye condition. Medical professionals state that to increase satisfaction, it is essential to design the double eyelid line considering the current eye shape, skin condition, and overall facial impression, and then choose an appropriate surgical method accordingly.

The surgical methods are broadly divided into incisional and non-incisional double eyelid surgery, and the eyelid crease can be designed into an in-line, out-line, or in-out line depending on overall facial proportions. If the eyelids are heavy due to thick skin or excess muscle, the incisional method is suitable. Through an incision, stronger tissue adhesion is achieved, reducing the chance of the crease coming undone and creating a well-defined line.

The non-incisional method is suitable for those who desire natural-looking eyes without the burden of an incision. By making 5 to 7 minute punctures in the eyelid and tying the eyelid line with surgical thread, it leaves virtually no scars, appears less obvious than the incisional method, and creates a natural double eyelid fold.

Depending on an individual's eye condition, ptosis correction (eye shape correction) may also be required simultaneously. Ptosis correction is necessary when weak eye muscles cause the eyelids to cover the pupils, resulting in a sleepy appearance. Medical staff explain that if someone who requires ptosis correction undergoes only double eyelid surgery, there is a high likelihood of post-surgical dissatisfaction; therefore, an accurate diagnosis and tailored solution are critical.

Ptosis correction adjusts the tension of the levator palpebrae superioris and Müller's muscles to fix the muscle strength so that the eyes do not look sleepy. If too much of the pupil is exposed, it can look awkward as if the person is glaring, so correction must target the right point by taking into account each person's unique eye characteristics. Depending on the condition, either incisional ptosis correction (which adjusts the tension of both the levator and Müller's muscles) or non-incisional ptosis correction (which adjusts the eye-opening muscles without incisions) can be performed.

Dr. Kim Sung-hoon, Director of SH Plastic Surgery, said, "In eye plastic surgery, it is crucial to establish a personalized surgical plan through an accurate diagnosis tailored to individual eye conditions and execute the surgery without error. Patient satisfaction will be high when undergoing surgery at a clinic where experienced, board-certified plastic surgeons reside who can accurately analyze each person's eye shape and propose customized solutions."

He added, "Choosing a clinic where specialized medical staff provide close, one-on-one care from consultation to surgery, disinfection, treatment, and progress monitoring—along with thorough post-operative care—will greatly aid in both surgical outcomes and recovery."
