Hello.
This is Iho Plastic Surgery, where you can once again experience EHan.
The eyes are an important area that determines a first impression in just 3 to 5 seconds, and depending on the shape of the eyes or the overall image, people can feel a sense of favor toward that person. If sunken eyes make you look tired or older, it is only natural to worry. That is why many people try eye surgery to correct eyes that look sleepy.
What are sunken eyes?
These are people whose orbital bones are developed and whose eyeballs sit deeply recessed relative to the orbital bone.



The important point here is that there is a distinction between actual sunken eyes and eyes that only appear sunken.


Characteristics of sunken eyes
The skin is thick.
The space between the eyes and eyebrows is narrow.
The eyebrow position is low.

Characteristics of eyes that appear sunken
The orbital bone is not severely developed, and the eyeball is not as deeply recessed as in sunken eyes.
The muscles and fat layer are thick.
If the eyebrows are low, they can look even heavier.

Sunken eyes
Eyes that appear sunken
Can both cases improve with surgery?

Whether you have sunken eyes or eyes that only appear sunken, surgery can be recommended because as the eyes become recessed, double creases can make you look older, and a heavy or sleepy-looking eye shape can make you want to appear more appealing to others. There can also be discomfort from feeling that opening the eyes is heavy, but after surgery, not only can opening the eyes feel easier, the appearance can also change to a clearer eye shape.

Even if the surgery is the same for both sunken eyes and eyes that appear sunken, the design and surgical plan should be applied differently.


If you attempt surgery to improve sunken eyes and eyes that appear sunken, not only can the result become aesthetically very appealing, but opening the eyes may also become easier functionally. Because the soft tissue and fat in the upper eyelid can be slightly removed and the anatomical structure can be adjusted, opening the eyes can actually feel more comfortable. Since both aesthetic and functional aspects can change, satisfaction can be high.

Is there a difference in the surgical method between the two cases?

The key when operating on sunken eyes is naturalness. Not only the design, but also when applying double-eyelid correction to strengthen the power of eye opening, overcorrection can make the result look like a buttonhole, so it is important to correct appropriately.




At our clinic, by performing surgery on sunken eyes naturally, the eyes can become appropriately more open and can be expressed with a deeper, more composed impression.

In the case of eyes that appear sunken, there can actually be a significant change. So a more striking eye shape can be created, and a dramatic result can be achieved.


The reason you may feel that surgery only improves sunken eyes
and does not make the eyes beautiful
is?

If you are not satisfied after surgery, there is a high chance that you were not fully informed in advance about how the surgical result would turn out. In the case of sunken eyes, the design itself cannot be made very striking, so it is wise to choose a medical team that can explain the postoperative result accurately in advance.



Especially among younger people, striking eyes are preferred, so the design and surgical method should be decided through sufficient consultation before surgery.

Even so, if you do not acknowledge that your own eyes are sunken and want a striking eye line, you will not be able to get the result you want after surgery, and disappointment can only be greater.

If your eyes are sunken, it is necessary to recognize that you cannot create a striking eye shape.

In cases of sunken eyes,
is there a high chance that buried-suture methods will come undone?

For people with sunken eyes, most cases are performed with incision methods. Of course, there are very rare cases where buried sutures are possible. However, that can be said to apply only to cases where the person wants a monolid or a subtle inner double eyelid.




The reason incision is used in most cases of sunken eyes is that the skin is often thick and there is often a lot of fat, so rather than buried sutures that form a double-eyelid line by knotting through tiny holes, incision is often performed, in which unnecessary tissue and fat are removed and then sutured.

Why can't buried sutures be used?

In most cases of sunken eyes, because the skin is thick and there is a structure where a lot of skin covers the area, if buried sutures are used, the double-eyelid line may loosen over time.

Among those who visit our clinic for eye surgery, there are people who want a natural change, but no one wants too little change. To meet the needs of patients who do not want a dramatic change but do want a natural change with eyes that look clearer and more defined, the incision method rather than the buried-suture method is more suitable for cases of sunken eyes.
