Tips from Director Park Si-hyun on Avoiding “Sausage Eyes” After Double Eyelid Surgery, Revealed!

Avoiding “sausage eyes” after double eyelid surgery

Tips from Director Park Si-hyun, Revealed!

Hello.

This is Objet Plastic Surgery.

After double eyelid surgery, when the line ends up looking thick and bulky, people often call it “sausage eyes.”

It is one of the words that comes up often among people considering double eyelid surgery.

Even with the same double eyelid procedure, some people develop a natural-looking result,

while for others, the line appears fuller and more prominent.

The factors that create that difference are not simply explained by the so-called “height” of the line alone.

Because depending on the eye structure, skin thickness, and facial proportions, the same design can appear completely different.

So today, we’ll go through what you should look at before double eyelid surgery,

and how these criteria are connected to avoiding “sausage eyes” after surgery.

If you read to the end, you’ll have a clear checklist of the points that should be reviewed before surgery.

Don’t decide based on the line’s “height” alone

Many people think the reason for sausage eyes is simply that the line was made too high.

But the real cause is a little different.

The problem is not the height itself, but rather when a line that does not match your eye structure is created, which makes the result look bulky.

For example,

if the height is set at 6 mm for two different people, one person may heal into a natural-looking line,

while another person may end up with a line that looks thick.

Here’s why this difference happens.

For someone with thin skin, less of the line is covered, so even at the same height, it can look much more prominent.

On the other hand, for someone with thicker skin, even if the line is made higher, it may be covered by the skin and look blurred instead.

People with shorter eye length are also more likely to have a line that ends up bulky without a smooth curve, which can leave a sausage-like impression.

So when people ask, “What mm looks good?” there is actually no single correct answer.

Even with the same number, the way the line settles can vary completely depending on eye size, skin thickness, the strength of eyelid opening, the presence of epicanthal folds, and eye length.

In the end, “sausage eyes” after double eyelid surgery are not just a matter of “height,”

but a result that appears when the line is drawn without reflecting your eye structure.

Natural-looking, refined double eyelids? The key is the “OO” with the entire face

When designing the line, there is one more important criterion to consider.

That is harmony with the entire face. Double eyelids are not a feature that only affects the eyes.

The shape of the face and the height of the nose, the position of the cheekbones, the width of the forehead, and even the height of the eyebrows all interact with the eye shape.

If you separate the eyes alone and decide, “This line looks pretty, so let’s do it,”

it can easily lead to a result where only the eyes stand out on the face.

These days, because semi-outfold lines are trendy, there are cases where people apply a flashy line that does not match their face shape.

If you put an overly prominent line on a youthful-looking face, the eyes may appear too mature and stand out, making the overall impression feel awkward.

There is one criterion that is helpful to remember here.

That is the “natural double eyelid line.”

Even people without double eyelids have a faint original fold line that appears when they close their eyes and slowly open them.

This line is the spot where your eye structure folds relatively naturally,

so if you design based on this line, you can create a result that is not excessive and blends softly into the face.

If you want to avoid sausage eyes after surgery, you need to look at how the line settles within your face

and how your eyes originally fold.

Change this one thing during consultation

If you’ve read this far, you probably have a better sense of how important pre-surgery consultation is.

So we recommend changing just one thing about how you approach the consultation.

Many people in the consultation room say, “Please make it xx mm,” or “Please make it like this celebrity,”

and bring up a specific number or image first.

Instead of asking that, try saying, “Please find a line that suits my eye structure and face.” That changes the direction of the design itself.

How long are my eyes? Is the skin thin or thick? Which direction does the strength move when I open my eyes? How does the epicanthal fold pull on the line?

After carefully reviewing each of these factors, there should be enough time to simulate the line.

If you refine the starting point of the line, the flow of the curve, the front angle, and the finishing shape at the back,

then even with the same double eyelid surgery, you can complete a line that does not end up bulky, but instead blends smoothly into the eye shape.

“Sausage eyes” after double eyelid surgery are a result that changes depending on the design process.

If you keep this in mind, the direction of the questions you ask during consultation will become much clearer.

Today, we looked at why sausage eyes happen after double eyelid surgery, and what criteria should be used to design the line in order to avoid that result.

To summarize, there are three points.

Even at the same height, the line can settle very differently depending on eye structure; The line must harmonize with the entire face;

and in consultation, you should first look for the direction that suits your eyes and face, rather than a number.

When Director Park Si-hyun of Objet Plastic Surgery designs double eyelid surgery,

he looks at skin thickness and eye length, the strength used to open the eyes and the condition of the epicanthal fold, and the overall facial proportions in a three-dimensional way,

and then draws the line based on the “natural double eyelid line.”

Rather than simply matching the line height, he adjusts the starting point of the front, the curve, and the natural finish at the back,

to ensure that the eyes and the face do not look disconnected, and to blend the line into the face.

If you are considering double eyelid surgery, rather than relying on a fixed number or image, we recommend getting a consultation that first looks at what kind of line suits your eye structure.
