Careful attention should first be paid to the cause of three-white-eye correction image 1

Hello. I am An Byung-jun, the chief director of An Byung-jun Plastic Surgery Clinic.

During consultations, there are people who ask, “Do I have three-white eyes?”

They say they worry because their eyes look sharper in photos.

When you keep hearing that you look intense, it can make you feel self-conscious.

What is needed in situations like this is not simply adjusting the eye line, but a careful diagnosis.

That is because three-white-eye correction is a process of finding the cause and improving it properly.

What kind of eyes are called three-white eyes?

Usually, a state in which the whites of the eyes are visible in two areas is called two-white eyes.

This refers to cases where the white is visible on either the upper or lower side of the black pupil.

By contrast, when the whites are visible in three areas—above, below, and to the side—it is called three-white eyes.

This impression appears when the pupil looks relatively shifted upward or downward.

However, not all three-white eyes are caused by the same reason.

It may be a problem with the structure of the eyes themselves, or it may be related to the strength used to open the eyes.

That is why three-white-eye correction is approached differently depending on the cause.

Why do three-white eyes occur?

In some cases, the pupil is positioned higher from birth.

However, during consultations, there are more cases caused by sagging skin or mild ptosis.

If the strength to open the eyes is weak, people instinctively use the forehead and eyebrows more.

In this process, the pupil is pulled upward and the lower white becomes more visible.

Outwardly, it may seem as if the eyes simply look bigger, but in reality, it is a tense state.

When opening the eyes, unnecessary force is used, which can also make the expression look awkward.

In such cases, three-white-eye correction cannot be improved with a solution that only adjusts the line.

Before surgery

The key to correction is design

If sagging skin is the cause, the loose skin must be refined.

If ptosis is also present, eye-opening correction should be used to adjust the strength used to open the eyes.

When everything is corrected in this way, eyebrows that had been excessively raised naturally come down.

As a result, the appearance of excessive white showing is also reduced.

Three-white-eye correction is the process of balancing the eyes so they can be opened comfortably.

An eye that has been properly designed looks soft yet clear.

As the overall facial expression becomes more stable, the impression also changes.

After surgery

Comfort along with natural-looking eyes

When opening the eyes becomes natural, the muscles of the entire face also relax.

As the tense expression eases, the impression becomes softer.

If you are considering three-white-eye correction, you should first check why your eyes appear that way.

The direction differs depending on whether it is a congenital structure, sagging skin, or ptosis.

That is why, according to each individual’s condition, sagging skin should be improved and eye correction should be performed.

Excessive correction can leave behind another kind of unnaturalness.

The goal of three-white-eye correction is to strengthen aesthetics while allowing the eyes to open comfortably.

This is why the method must be found after comprehensively examining the overall facial structure.

The eyes are the area that determines a person’s impression.

Even a small difference can greatly change the mood.

It lasts because it is designed by a plastic surgery specialist with abundant know-how suited to each person’s body structure.

A natural and stable eye line begins with a careful diagnosis.
