Hello.

I’m Lim Jin-young, the chief director of Piap Clinic.

Eye surgery has become such a common procedure that it’s easy to find people around you who have had it.

Especially if you are in your 20s or 30s, many of you may be thinking about it as graduation or job hunting approaches.

"I wish I had double eyelids..."

"I wish my eyes were a little bigger..."

Many people probably have these thoughts every time they look in the mirror.

For that reason, you may have been searching for a "good clinic for eye surgery."

But when you actually look for information, you may feel unsure about what to choose.

Even with double eyelid surgery alone, there are so many methods, such as incision, non-incision, and partial incision.

So finding the surgical method that suits you is more important than anything else.

Otherwise, just like wearing clothes that do not fit,

unwanted results called side effects can occur.

Today, with the hope that no one will face such results, I prepared this post.

I’ll talk in detail about "how to choose eye surgery that suits you" and "the side effects you should watch out for."

Please read to the end, and I hope it helps.

A good clinic for eye surgery, how can you find the method that suits you?

First, ask yourself, "What kind of surgery do I need?"

At this point, simply thinking that you want double eyelids is not enough.

It is important to first understand your own condition.

"What shape are my eyes?" "Are the outer corners of my eyes turned up or down?"

"Is the reason my eyes look heavy due to skin, or is it due to muscle?"

The appropriate method can change depending on these factors.

For example, if you do not have double eyelids at all and your eyes look heavy,

non-incision or incision methods may be worth considering.

If the skin is thin and there is little sagging,

non-incision is recommended.

If the eyelids are thick or the skin sagging is severe,

an incision method may be more suitable.

Do you want to know why?

Let me explain with an easy analogy.

The non-incision method is like lightly stitching the inside of a thin silk fabric.

From the outside, it is barely noticeable.

On the other hand, the incision method is like cutting thick fabric and sewing it back together.

It is effective when you want to clearly remove sagging skin.

If you want to make an existing double eyelid line more defined, however,

partial incision or a method that enhances the line may be considered.

This is similar to making slight adjustments to the fit of well-fitting clothes.

In this way, the most suitable method can differ depending on each person’s condition.

Just like choosing different alteration methods depending on the characteristics of the fabric.

But this is only a basic guideline.

The most important thing is "harmony."

No matter which method you choose, it will look natural only if it suits your face well.

For example, if the horizontal length of the eyes is short but you create a large double eyelid,

it may look awkward.

In such cases, it is better to consider inner corner surgery or outer corner surgery as well.

Then you can expect a much more natural result.

In the end, when thinking about eye surgery,

rather than following trends,

it is important to find a style that harmonizes with your own face.

The same goes when choosing a good clinic for eye surgery.

Ask yourself,

"Which method would look the most natural on me?"

As you find the answer, you will be able to meet the method and clinic that are the best fit for you.

A good clinic for eye surgery, do side effects also happen?

If you are considering cosmetic surgery, your expectations for change may be high,

but you may also worry about possible side effects.

In fact, cosmetic surgery is a bit like wearing a new pair of shoes.

Even if the design is beautiful, it may feel a little uncomfortable at first.

Unexpected problems can also arise.

That is why it is important to choose carefully while fully considering these points as well.

I will now explain in detail the side effects that can appear after eye surgery.

  1. Scars and red marks

After surgery, scars may remain for a while even after the stitches are removed.

Extra caution is needed especially if you have sensitive skin or a constitution that scars easily.

The incision area may look red or become slightly uneven.

At this time, it is good to apply scar ointment consistently and protect the area from UV rays.

Then, over time, it will gradually fade.

  1. Asymmetry

Almost no one’s eyes are perfectly symmetrical to begin with.

However, after surgery, differences in size or shape may appear more noticeable.

In particular, if one double eyelid line is higher and the other is lower, it is bound to be bothersome.

In most cases, as the swelling goes down, it naturally evens out.

In rare cases, additional correction may be needed.

Therefore, if this happens, please monitor the progress and

consult with the medical staff.

  1. Inability to fully close the eyes

After double eyelid surgery or ptosis correction, there may be cases where the eyes do not close completely.

This is due to swelling or muscle tension.

In most cases, this naturally recovers over time.

However, if the skin or muscles are pulled too tightly, it can become a problem.

Just like a door that is not fully closed, the eyes may remain slightly open.

Then they can easily become dry, and corneal irritation may become severe.

In such cases, additional corrective surgery may be necessary.

In the end, the most important thing is 충분한 상담 with the medical staff.

Through this, it is important to find a design that suits your face and avoid unnecessary surgery.

These days, because there is so much information online, many people decide after hearing things like "I heard this surgery is good."

In reality, it may not be the right fit for you.

I hope you keep in mind that cosmetic surgery is not simply about changing your appearance,

but a process of regaining self-esteem and satisfaction with life.

An overly forced choice can instead become a source of stress.

So I hope you make a careful decision after 충분한 상담.

That way, you will be able to make a choice without regret.

I’m Lim Jin-young, the chief director of Piap Clinic.

Thank you.
