Small Eye Surgery: Turning a Complex into Confidence!

Hello, this is Inique Plastic Surgery,

a clinic specializing in eye surgery.

"Whenever I take a photo, my eyes look smaller than the rest of my face."

"When I cover my face with a mask, I feel like I’m straining my eyes even more."

Have you ever had concerns like these in your daily life?

The eyes are the first feature people look at on the face,

and they play a key role in expressing emotions and forming impressions.

People read emotions through the eyes before words,

and they may also infer someone’s image or

personality from their eye shape.

However, when the eyes look small or give a cramped impression,

it is not uncommon for people to lose confidence in their appearance

or feel discouraged in social activities.

Especially these days, in a social atmosphere where appearance

has become one form of competitiveness,

many people visit Inique because they feel stressed

over their eyes looking small,

a stern impression, or a tired-looking appearance.

However, what matters is not simply

surgery to make the eyes bigger,

but an approach that improves them in harmony

with the structure of your eyes and the shape of your face.

For small eye surgery, customized design is essential,

taking into account each person’s anatomical features such as

the horizontal and vertical length of the eyes,

the presence or absence of double eyelids, eye-opening strength,

and skin thickness.

Also, rather than small eye surgery that simply makes the eyes bigger,

a design that matches the overall balance of the face

is more natural and tends to lead to higher satisfaction.

Today, together with Inique, which specializes in small eye surgery,

we will introduce in detail the various causes of small-looking eyes,

the types of small eye surgery methods, the recovery process,

and frequently asked questions.

The expression "small eyes"

does not simply refer to the horizontal and vertical length of the eyes.

Various structural factors

can create the impression of smaller eyes.

If the eyelids are thick or sagging,

the eyes may appear smaller because less of the eyeballs are visible.

Also, if the inner corner area commonly called the "epicanthal fold"

is covered,

it blocks the front of the eyes and makes them look narrower.

If the outer corners of the eyes are tilted upward,

the eyes can look sharp or fierce,

and the vertical length of the eyes may feel relatively shorter.

Lastly, in cases such as ptosis,

when the muscle strength for opening the eyes is weak and the eyelashes cover the eyes,

the eyes may give a small and tired impression.

Because the causes of eyes looking small

must be considered in combination,

it is very important to choose the surgical method you need

through a professional consultation and diagnosis with Inique.

So, what kinds of small eye surgery methods are there?

At Inique, we recommend various types of canthoplasty

as small eye surgery methods.

Canthoplasty opens up the cramped areas of the eyes

to make the eye shape look clearer and more refreshing.

The most representative procedures are

the inner corner incision and the upper corner incision,

which can clearly improve a cramped eye shape.

An inner corner incision is a method that trims the epicanthal fold

to make the front part of the eyes look more open.

When the epicanthal fold is positioned in the upper 45-degree direction,

it is called an upper corner incision.

This smooths and opens the front line of the double eyelid,

creating a clearer and more refreshed eye shape.

In addition, at Inique,

we have developed the "mini inner corner incision"

to supplement the shortcomings of a general inner corner incision,

and it has become popular with many people.

The mini inner corner incision only detaches the area where the epicanthal fold is located,

so the amount of opening is not large,

which means it can refine the inner corner of the eye with almost no visible scar.

In particular, it has the advantage of avoiding the side effect of exposing too much of the lacrimal caruncle

and preventing the eyes from looking too close together.

In addition, procedures such as double eyelid surgery or

ptosis correction can make the eyes look bigger and clearer.

So far, together with Inique,

we have looked at the causes of eyes appearing small

and various canthoplasty procedures to improve them.
