Recently, interest in first eyelid surgery and first nose surgery has been growing among those considering their first cosmetic procedure.
Compared with surgeries that place a relatively heavier burden on recovery, such as facial contouring surgery or liposuction, eyelid surgery and nose surgery are increasingly seen as procedures with faster recovery, leading more people to consider them as their first cosmetic surgery.
In particular, as more people plan changes to their appearance ahead of new beginnings such as the New Year, the new semester, or job-seeking season, cases of considering eyelid surgery and nose surgery together for their strong image-improvement effect are also on the rise.
The eyes and nose are the central parts of the face that draw attention first, and even small changes can greatly alter the overall impression.
Accordingly, there is also growing demand to choose first eyelid surgery as a first operation, or to combine it with first nose surgery at the same time to create a more harmonious impression.
Eyelid surgery can involve a combination of procedures depending on an individual's eye condition.
Typical examples include double eyelid surgery, ptosis correction, and canthoplasty,
and it is explained that the more this is a first operation, the more important it is to have a customized plan based on the eye structure rather than making drastic changes.
The most basic double eyelid surgery varies depending on the condition of the eyelid.
The incision method is used when the skin is thick or there is a lot of fat, and it is effective in creating a defined line.
On the other hand, the non-incision method is performed without cutting, so recovery is relatively fast and there is less concern about scarring, making it popular among office workers and students considering first eyelid surgery.
In addition, when the strength used to open the eyes is weak or the eyelids appear droopy, ptosis correction can be combined to consider both functional improvement and aesthetic effect.
It is also effective in creating a higher double eyelid line, such as an outer line, so it may be combined depending on the desired line height.
Rather than indiscriminate ptosis correction, if it is appropriately combined while considering the structure, tissue, and outcome of the eyes,
it is effective for creating a natural and attractive eye shape without overcorrection.
On the other hand, nose surgery is regarded as an important factor that determines the overall three-dimensional balance and harmony.
In particular, first nose surgery, performed as a first operation, is not simply about raising the bridge of the nose; the key is to design the bridge, tip, and columella line together while considering facial proportions and harmony.
Recent nose surgery trends are moving toward completing the three-dimensional look of the side profile and facial proportions by considering the harmony of the 'columella line' connecting the tip of the nose and the philtrum.
The columella line is a key factor in improving midface proportions and is evaluated as a standard for a natural nose shape,
and depending on the individual, a plan may also include nasolabial angle correction to precisely adjust the angle of the nasal tip.
In addition, because nose surgery often uses implants or autologous tissue, safety and a detailed surgical plan are essential.
Therefore, the more it is first nose surgery, the more important it is not to raise the bridge and tip too aggressively, but to choose the nose surgery method that suits the individual through sufficient consultation and to clearly set the scope of design that matches facial harmony.
AB Plastic Surgery Director Park Seong-hoon said, "Since first eyelid surgery and first nose surgery are important operations that determine the central image of the face, the design should be planned not by simply improving the eyes and nose separately, but within the overall harmony," and added, "The more this is the first surgery, the more important it is to find the balance that suits the individual best rather than making excessive changes, as that is the key to increasing satisfaction."
He continued, "Since eyelid surgery and nose surgery are complex processes that must consider both functional elements and aesthetic completeness, sufficient consultation should be conducted so that the individual's structure can be analyzed in detail and a customized plan can be established."
In this way, first eyelid surgery and first nose surgery are establishing themselves as processes that harmoniously improve the balance and impression of the entire face beyond simple changes in appearance.
For satisfying results, it is important to accurately diagnose your own condition and clearly set the necessary scope of surgery,
and the know-how of the medical staff based on experience with various cases and precise design capability are required.
Also, when planning your first cosmetic procedure, it is important to choose a clinic that can suggest the surgical direction that suits you,
and it is recommended to make the decision through sufficient consultation.
