[Etone TV] If You're 고민 about Eye Surgery, Something You Should Think About at Least Once

Many people worry about

'eye cosmetic surgery'

In particular, before deciding on surgery,

what points should be considered

We would like to present

a guide for making a wise choice.

☑️ Overall factors to consider when deciding on eye surgery

☑️ The pitfalls of information on the internet and the role of experts

☑️ Why doctors have different opinions and how to choose the right doctor for you

☑️ The balance between objective beauty and subjective preference

☑️ Key questions to think about yourself before surgery!

We will clearly answer your questions

about eye surgery.

When people think about eye surgery, they usually

first think of double eyelid surgery.

But the eye

does not simply mean the double eyelid line.

In fact, the eye is a concept that includes the entire surrounding area.

So if you only operate on the eyes,

the result may be unsatisfactory.

You need to consider harmony across the entire area around the eyes.

There are also many different types of eye surgery.

Even for double eyelid surgery,

the techniques I mainly use number four or five.

Depending on the patient's anatomical structure, facial features,

and desired shape, the possible surgical methods are endless.

But these days,

there is so much information online

that patients often

come in after researching surgical methods themselves.

Many people study online and visit multiple clinics

trying to find the method that suits them best,

but in this field, the information asymmetry is so severe

that it is really difficult for an ordinary person to make the best decision

based only on information from the internet.

In simple terms,

the knowledge gap between experts and the general public is too large.

Doctors continuously study through academic society activities, papers, seminars, and more,

while accumulating extensive surgical experience.

But ordinary people cannot match that level of expertise

just by looking at a few internet resources

and meeting a few doctors.

Among the information aimed at the general public,

there is a considerable amount of marketing material.

There are many materials created to attract your attention,

so it is better not to trust them blindly.

To see proper information,

you need to look for English-language papers,

and even then, you have to pay to access them.

It is not easy for ordinary people to approach.

So in the end, leaving it to an expert

is probably the wisest choice!

But when people visit clinics,

many also say they feel confused because

each doctor says something different.

Some doctors say incision is necessary,

while others say it is not.

However,

there are reasons why

doctors have different opinions.

The treatment environment, training background, philosophy of care,

and even subjective standards for what is considered 'beautiful'

all have an influence.

Doctors also have their own

'aesthetic standards.'

Some doctors may prefer

a clearly beautiful eye created through incision,

while others may pursue a subtle, natural-looking result.

This is not a matter of who is better or worse.

What matters is

finding the doctor who is right for you!

For example,

I want natural-looking eyes with no visible sign of surgery,

but if

the doctor I meet prefers flashy, large eyes,

then that does not suit me, right?

In that case,

you should go to a doctor whose approach matches what you are looking for.

It is important that the patient's preferences and the doctor's aesthetic philosophy

are aligned.

However,

there may also be cases where the shape the patient wants

looks odd from an objective standpoint.

If someone says, "I'll take responsibility, so please just do it," then

carefully discussing and considering it before deciding

is understandable.

But as a doctor,

I do not think it is right to ignore objective factors or biological risks

and simply do everything exactly as the patient wants.

Sometimes, because of a desire for 'what I don't have,'

people want an excessive operation.

For example, someone with horizontally long eyes may want round eyes,

or conversely, someone with short horizontal length

may want vertically long eyes.

Of course, it may look better if the balance is adjusted,

but if you try to force yourself to have what you do not have,

the result is more likely to become unnatural or regrettable.

Then what should you do

to achieve the most satisfying result?

The most important thing is

to maximize your strengths as much as possible

and design in a way that covers your weaknesses.

If you try to forcibly insert something you do not have,

it may end up looking awkward.

In the end,

finding the beauty that suits you is what matters.

But many people also complain that

"I don't really know what looks beautiful for me."

What should people like this do?

Take time to think for yourself.

While looking at the faces of people around you,

say to yourself, "Ah, that eye shape is pretty," or "I like that kind of look,"

and choose what appeals to you.

Some people choose things all over the place,

but as you do that, your own preferences will begin to show.

In other words, effort is needed to discover your subjective preferences.

I consider both objective and

subjective factors.

The objective part means, biologically,

matching the anatomical structure suitable for this eye

and the basic style.

I make a plan by reflecting as much as possible the

'subjective preferences' that the patient has communicated to me sufficiently.

Lastly,

for those considering eye surgery,

the things you should definitely think about before surgery

can be summarized as follows:

there are three major things you should think about for yourself.

✅ What you want

✅ Concerns about recovery time

✅ Concerns about cost

Whether you want a larger double eyelid,

whether you want bigger eyes,

whether you want something flashy even if it looks operated on,

or whether you want a natural look with no obvious signs

Whether you need to recover within a month,

whether you have an important event coming up,

How much you are willing to pay

for the surgery

Please compare what you want to gain and what you must accept

(cost, time, risk)

and decide accordingly.

Think carefully about these three things,

and find a doctor who can address them.

And as for the detailed surgical method,

it is best to leave that to the expert.

With a wise choice,

I hope everyone will achieve satisfying results.

Thank you🙏
