Is This the Difference Between a Successful and Unsuccessful Double Eyelid Surgery?

Hello, this is iNique.

Among the methods that many people who decide to have plastic surgery try, one is double eyelid surgery.

What kind of eyes do you look at and think, "That double eyelid surgery turned out really well"?

It can vary depending on personal taste or preference, and some people may think a deep, clear double eyelid line is beautiful, while others may think a natural-looking, barely noticeable line is beautiful.

Then, from the hospital’s perspective, what kind of eyes count as a successful design?

Today, with iNique, we’ll take a closer look at the criteria the director uses and the characteristics of double eyelid surgery that make patients satisfied.

A successful double eyelid has four basic elements.

First, the height of the line.

If it is too high, it can look unnatural and sleepy, and if it is too low, the double eyelid effect may feel weak.

The most ideal height should vary depending on the strength of eyelid opening and the thickness of the skin.

Second, the shape and naturalness of the line. Depending on the type, double eyelids are classified in various ways: inline, in-out line, semi-out, and outline.

The more the double eyelid line fails to harmonize with the structure of a person’s eyes, the stronger the unnatural feeling can become.

Third, left-right symmetry. It is difficult for a person’s face to be perfectly symmetrical.

That is why, after surgery, the lines, height, and width on both sides of the eyes are designed to look similar so they create a stable impression.

Fourth, harmony with the eye shape. By considering all of these factors in a balanced way— the impression of the eye shape, the direction of the outer corners, the strength of eyelid opening, and the distance from the eyebrows— we design double eyelids that do not simply have a beautiful line, but also improve the overall impression.

Looking at people who have recently had surgery, preferences for double eyelid styles are clearly divided.

If they prefer a natural look, they tend to prefer a thin inline or in-out line. If they want a refreshing and glamorous look, they tend to prefer a clear outline.

As you can see, there are various types of double eyelids, but what matters is not the type, but choosing a double eyelid line that suits and matches your own eyes well. For example, if a person has a strong epicanthic fold, is close between the eyebrows and the eyes, or has thick skin, then doing an outline can look unnatural and excessive, so

when designing the surgery, it is essential to first precisely understand my eye structure, skin condition, and even the strength of eyelid opening, and then design the most harmonious double eyelid. In other words, in double eyelid surgery, the most important thing can be seen as not making it "pretty," but making it "harmonious."

That is why, before designing, a detailed examination should be carried out to accurately understand the distribution of eyelid fat, skin elasticity, and muscle movement before proceeding with surgery.

Don’t just think, "Double eyelid surgery only needs to make the line look pretty," but remember that finding the line that best suits the structure and impression of your own eyes is the key to the most successful and well-done double eyelid surgery!

So far, we have summarized the characteristics and differences between successful and unsuccessful double eyelids.
