Double Eyelid Surgery Side Effects: You Can Avoid Them If You Only Know These Three Things!

Double eyelid surgery side effects,

You can avoid them if you only know these three things!

Hello,

This is Objet Plastic Surgery.

"Double eyelid surgery?

Isn't that something everyone gets these days?"

Many people probably think that way, right?

In fact, double eyelid surgery is something you can easily encounter around you,

and because recovery is fast,

many people tend to make the decision relatively easily.

But there is something surprising.

Among the plastic surgery side effect reports submitted to the Korea Consumer Agency,

double eyelid side effects account for the highest proportion.

Of course, among the side effects mentioned here, there are many cases of dissatisfaction with the results, such as turning out differently from what was expected, rather than serious medical problems.

But what is clear is that there are also quite a few cases where the surgery was not done properly and

revision surgery becomes necessary.

The phenomenon of double eyelid side effects happening like this is

mostly due to three reasons.

So today, I would like to look at the key causes one by one.

If you are considering double eyelid surgery, please make sure to read this article before your consultation.

1. When getting double eyelid surgery, is it better to bring a celebrity photo?

In actual double eyelid surgery consultations, there are many people who show celebrity photos saved on their phones.

Of course, it can be helpful in understanding the style the patient wants.

But there is an important fact we need to point out here.

That is that everyone's eye structure is completely different.

If my eye structure and a celebrity's eye structure are different, what happens if the exact same design is applied?

For example, let's say we apply the same double eyelid line to the eyes of a person with long eyes and a person with short eyes.

If the eyes are short and you create a wide line, the line will fill all the way to both ends of the eyes.

Then the eyes can look cramped and unnatural.

On the other hand, if the eyes are long but a narrow line is created, it can feel somehow flat and lacking.

Therefore, it is important to design a line that harmonizes with the length of the eyes.

A line that does not fit may instead create an awkward impression.

Also, the amount of fat in the eyelids should be checked.

For people with a lot of fat in the eyelids, the double eyelid line can easily become hidden.

Fat is a tissue with volume, and if it sits on top of the line, the line gets pressed down and becomes hard to see.

That can make the eyes look swollen and heavy.

On the other hand, if there is little fat but the line is made too large, problems can also arise.

Fat acts like a cushion that fills the eyelids with some thickness.

But if there is too little of that cushion, the area above the eyes can appear sunken.

Then a dark shadow forms in the hollow area, creating a tired and older-looking impression.

That is why, rather than insisting on the eye shape of a particular celebrity,

it is the first key to successful surgery to understand the characteristics of your own eyes with the medical team and find the optimal line that suits them.

2. Incisional vs. non-incisional, which is better?

During consultations, there are also people who already decide whether they want an incisional or non-incisional procedure before coming in.

There are broadly two types of double eyelid surgery:

non-incisional method and

incisional method.

Many people think,

non-incisional method = natural and good

incisional method = unnatural and bad

But this is a completely wrong perception.

First, the non-incisional method refers to a method that does not cut the skin and instead fixes it with thread.

Inside the eyelid, there is a "lifting muscle" that pulls the eyelid every time we open our eyes.

The non-incisional method connects this muscle and the outer skin with thread.

Then, every time you open your eyes, the skin naturally follows the lifting muscle and moves upward, creating a double eyelid line.

The advantage of this method is that recovery is fast and there is no scar.

However, because it is fixed only with thread, the thread can loosen over time.

In particular, if there is a lot of fat in the eyelids, the weight may prevent the thread from holding, making it more likely for the line to come undone.

On the other hand, the incisional method creates the line by making an incision in the skin, removing sagging skin or fat.

After making an incision along the area where the double eyelid will form, sagging skin or excess fat is removed.

Then the lifting muscle and skin are firmly sutured together to create the line.

Because this method directly sutures the skin and muscle, problems with the thread loosening are rare.

In addition, unnecessary fat and skin are removed, so there is less concern that the line will be hidden or pressed down.

Of course, the recovery period is a little longer, and a fine incision line may remain.

So over time, it is important to design the incision line so that it becomes concealed by the double eyelid line.

Then what 기준 should be used for selection?

The key is "the condition of my own eyes."

In summary,

rather than deciding the surgery method in advance and going in,

the second key is to receive an accurate diagnosis from a specialist and choose the method that suits your own eyes.

3. The double eyelid line is pretty, but why does it look awkward?

There are cases where the double eyelid line itself is made well, but the overall result is unsatisfactory due to other issues.

First is ptosis.

Ptosis refers to a condition where the eyelid does not lift properly because the strength to open the eyes is weak.

People with ptosis have weak strength in the lifting muscle described earlier.

So when they open their eyes, the eyelids do not rise enough and end up covering part of the eyeball.

If a double eyelid is created when the strength to open the eyes is insufficient, the eyes may look smaller and sleepier.

In such cases, eyelid correction should be performed together.

Eyelid correction is a surgery that strengthens the ability to open the eyes by re-fixing the weakened lifting muscle firmly again.

Doing this allows the eyelids to lift sufficiently, so the eyeballs are clearly visible and the double eyelid line can do its job properly.

The next issue is the epicanthic fold.

The epicanthic fold is a skin fold that covers the inner corner of the eye.

It is the shape in which the skin between the nose and the eyes comes down and covers the white part at the inner corner of the eye.

For people with a severe epicanthic fold, the double eyelid line appears pinched or blocked on the inner side.

This is not simply because skin is covering it, but because of the strong tension of the epicanthic fold.

The double eyelid line should naturally fold upward,

but the epicanthic fold is holding it tightly down in front of the eyes, so the line has no choice but to be pressed down and look distorted.

At this time, performing an inner corner incision releases the strong tension of the epicanthic fold.

Then the interfering force disappears, and the line can connect much more naturally and cleanly.

In the end, the third key is not to look only at the double eyelid,

but to comprehensively understand the condition of the entire eye and perform the necessary correction together.

Today, we looked at the three key reasons why double eyelid surgery fails.

At Objet Plastic Surgery, based on the three key points mentioned today,

we do not look only at the double eyelid, but carefully and precisely diagnose the patient's overall eye structure.

Above all, double eyelid surgery should be entrusted to an experienced medical team who can properly read a person's eye condition

and receive the necessary procedure.

Double eyelid surgery is not simply the work of creating a line,

but a process of closely analyzing the structure of the eyes and finding the method that suits them.

Please remember that the right surgical plan creates satisfactory double eyelids.
