Worried About Sleepy Eyes: Ideal Eye Design and Surgical Methods

Plastic Surgery > Sleepy Eyes in Double Eyelid Surgery

Explanation of the Symptoms of Sleepy Eyes

Sleepy eyes are a condition in which, when the eyes are open,

more than 80–90% of the black pupil is not visible,

and the pupil is partially covered.

As the eyelids sag, only part of the eyes is visible

when the eyes are open, creating a sleepy-looking impression.

Sleepy eyes are often accompanied by a habit of lifting the eyebrows,

which is a common symptom among Koreans

and may appear in a relatively milder form

than in Westerners.

Sleepy eyes are different from ptosis,

but external improvement is often needed.

Explanation of the Need for Surgery to Resolve the Issue

Sleepy eyes can cause eye fatigue and dissatisfaction with appearance.

If the pupil is not clearly visible, the face can give off a tired

and lethargic impression,

which is why surgery is needed to address this.

Correcting sleepy eyes can make the eyes appear larger,

creating a clearer and more lively eye shape.

Solution

Explanation of a Surgery Method Without Eyelash Elevation

A surgery method without eyelash elevation is

a way to create a double eyelid while naturally making the eyes look bigger.

This method corrects the sagging of the eyelids while

preventing the eyelashes from being lifted,

forming a natural eye shape.

It is an effective way to improve sleepy eyes

without raising the eyelids too much.

Explanation of Postoperative Care

After surgery, swelling and bruising may occur,

and these should be managed with cold compresses and medication.

It is important not to touch the surgical area frequently

and to avoid strenuous exercise for a certain period.

Use sunscreen to protect the skin around the eyes,

and avoid overusing your eyes for a period after surgery.

A Word from Director Ahn Byung-jun

After identifying the cause, the most important key

to resolving it with double eyelid surgery

Surgery for sleepy eyes requires delicate technique.

A specialized medical team accurately analyzes the degree of eyelid sagging

and the structure of the eyes,

then performs the surgery using the most appropriate method.

It creates a natural and harmonious eye shape,

prevents complications, and provides safe surgery.

Why Surgery Should Be Performed by Specialists

Sleepy eyes are characterized by the fact that,

when the eyes are open,

a smaller portion of the black pupil is visible,

and the eyelids sag downward,

covering the pupil.

If you frequently lift your eyebrows or

make an effort to open your eyes wider,

you may suspect sleepy eyes.

The difference from ptosis is that sleepy eyes

have only mild or temporary eyelid sagging.

Sleepy eyes cause the eyelids to droop and cover the pupil,

and to address this,

a natural double eyelid surgery without eyelash elevation

can make the eyes look clearer and more lively.

The Guide to Eye Plastic Surgery - Director Ahn Byung-jun

I have focused solely on eye plastic surgery

for 25 years.

Now that I feel I understand a little about plastic surgery,

I say that there is no doctor who is equally good at everything,

including eye surgery, nose surgery, and breast surgery.

To truly know one field throughout a lifetime,

experience must accumulate again and again over many years.
