[Medi Consumer News] Naturally Improving the Shape of the Eyes

As options for managing outward appearance have become more diverse and standards for looks have risen, more men are taking steps to manage their appearance in order to improve how they are perceived.

In particular, male eye surgery is preferred because it places less burden on the body than other procedures while still producing clear changes in appearance and impression.

In line with this trend, interest in male double eyelid surgery is growing, and demand for consultations at plastic surgery clinics in Gangnam is also increasing.

While female eye surgery often focuses on a more defined line and making the eyes appear larger, men tend to prefer a natural-looking eye shape that is not overly done.

Accordingly, rather than a uniform double-eyelid design, the importance of customized planning that matches the structure of a man's eyes and his existing image is increasing.

The key to male eye surgery is to create a long, open impression horizontally, and if masculine features are not sufficiently considered during the design stage, it can lead to a look that feels unnatural or burdensome, requiring a careful approach.

Reflecting these preferences, non-incisional eye correction is commonly chosen among men because it can deliver subtle changes.

Compared with incisional eye correction, it has the advantage of a shorter recovery period and relatively less swelling and bruising, allowing a quicker return to daily life.

The procedure is performed by tying the skin and muscle along the set line, and stability is increased by applying double fixation.

Using the natural adhesion double-eyelid method, which induces natural attachment between the skin and muscle, surgical traces are not visible even when the eyes are closed.

Because it is possible to create a narrow, almost monolid-like double-eyelid line, the eyes can be improved into a natural shape that does not look surgically altered even when open.

Non-incisional eye correction is not limited to simply creating a double eyelid.

If the muscle used to open the eyes is weak and gives a sleepy or tired impression, it can also be expected to improve ptosis.

There is a high level of satisfaction because it can strengthen the ability to open the eyes and improve them into a clearer, more lively shape.

However, non-incisional eye correction is not suitable in all cases.

If the eyelid skin is thick, there is a lot of fat, or sagging is severe, it is difficult to achieve sufficient results with a non-incisional double-eyelid method alone.

In such cases, more stable results can be expected by using an incisional double-eyelid procedure to remove sagging skin and muscle and unnecessary fat while also performing structural correction.

In the case of incisional eye correction, there is more swelling than with non-incisional eye correction, so recovery is slower, but it has the advantage of making it easier to create the desired double-eyelid line, allowing lines tailored to individual needs, such as a natural in-out line or a narrow monolid-like double-eyelid line.

As the surgical method that can be effective differs depending on the condition of each person’s eyes, it is important to carefully decide, based on an accurate diagnosis, whether to use an incisional or non-incisional approach and whether eye correction should be performed in combination.

Dr. Son Ji-hwan of AB Plastic Surgery said, "Male eye surgery is not simply a procedure to make the eyes bigger; it is meaningful in that it completes a natural and open impression that suits the individual’s image," and added, "Male double-eyelid surgery should be designed as a subtle double eyelid that is not burdensome, taking into account the overall face shape and eye shape, and the choice between incisional and non-incisional methods should be made carefully depending on the skin thickness and degree of sagging."

He continued, "Precise surgery that considers not only aesthetic factors but also functional aspects is of utmost importance."

Male eye surgery is now expanding beyond simple cosmetic purposes into an area that comprehensively considers individuality, image, and functional improvement.

Among men who value naturalness, the popularity of non-incisional eye correction continues, but for satisfactory results, it is essential to choose the most suitable surgical method for the individual after consultation with a specialist and a precise diagnosis.
