Blepharoplasty for a Natural Change in the Eye Line

When looking at a person’s face, the 기준 and perception of what is pretty and beautiful can differ from person to person.

Among those 기준 and perceptions, many people often point to a face with good left-right balance as an example,

and the same can be said for facial features, including face shape.

However, when the sizes of both eyes are clearly different,

it naturally becomes a concern.

For that reason, many people look into blepharoplasty and make every effort to achieve symmetry in both eyes.

In general, uneven eyes can be defined as a condition in which one eye has a double-eyelid line

or has a different shape.

Genetic reasons are likely a major factor, but changes in eye shape are also often observed

after having had eye surgery at least once in the past, or due to various other causes.

In such cases, it is necessary to restore balance through blepharoplasty.

These days, it is easy to find a variety of information, reviews,

and procedure cases related to blepharoplasty.

However, rather than proceeding unconditionally, it is important to work with medical staff who have a range of know-how and extensive knowledge in the field.

It is also necessary to see whether the clinic can establish a plan through 1:1 personalized consultation and use a differentiated design approach

that brings out each person’s individuality.

Here, appropriate alternatives were being sought according to each person’s different type.

Depending on each case, the cost of blepharoplasty can vary greatly,

and the method used also differs depending on various factors such as eye size and the degree of sagging.

Basically, the procedure was being applied in two categories: non-incision and incision, depending on the individual’s eye condition.

First, the former type of blepharoplasty works by tightening the ability to open the eyes without making an incision in the skin or the muscles that control eye-opening strength,

instead pulling them with sutures.

Candidates for this type of blepharoplasty may include people with thin eyelids and little fat.

Because it is performed by making tiny holes rather than an incision,

it has the advantage of resulting in less scarring, swelling, and bruising.

As a result, it can be especially favorable for modern people with busy daily lives.

However, if the eyelids are not thin and do not have little fat, this method may not be suitable.

Next, the latter type of blepharoplasty is, as the name suggests, the incision method.

It can be performed in cases such as ptosis, when there is a lot of fat in the upper eyelid or when sagging is severe,

and it involves incising the eyelid skin and, if necessary, removing a certain amount of fat, muscle, or skin,

directly adjusting the levator palpebrae superioris muscle, which opens the eye, to correct the condition.

Because the procedure involves an incision and removes some fat or skin as needed,

it has the advantage of allowing detailed correction,

so even when a person does not strictly fall into that category, the incision method may still be chosen.

These methods are not something that can be decided casually;

the key was to apply the appropriate method according to each person’s skin type and characteristics, amount of fat, muscle strength, degree of eyelid sagging, angle,

the appearance they seek, and their needs.

Naturally, among blepharoplasty methods, many people prefer the non-incision method over the incision method.

This is because the incision method has a longer downtime after surgery and a higher chance of side effects such as scarring compared to the non-incision method.

Of course, this method also depends on the skill of the medical staff,

but if the surgery goes well and post-operative care is given special attention, then after a recovery period of about 3 to 6 months,

a natural look that does not stand out can be achieved,

so there was no need for excessive concern.

Sometimes people worry that the non-incision method may easily loosen.

As mentioned earlier, this option can be performed for people with thin eyelid skin

and almost no fat, so it is good to understand that it is not something that easily comes undone at all.

Conversely, if someone who should undergo the incision method instead undergoes the non-incision method,

the problems mentioned above may occur.

For that reason, sufficient consultation with the medical staff beforehand was essential.

At this clinic, the medical staff had long clinical experience and extensive know-how,

and through various examinations and in-depth consultations for each individual’s different condition,

they were providing the proper treatment process.

It was not the same blepharoplasty for everyone; rather, the procedure was carried out according to each patient’s overall eye condition.

Because they had treated many cases, they were able to respond quickly even if an unexpected situation arose.

They were committed to providing only the care process truly necessary for each patient, without unnecessary extras,

and making every effort to keep the cost efficient as well.

After completing blepharoplasty, a systematic post-operative care process was also followed.

On the day of surgery, patients were advised to rest, and immediately after the surgery,

it was necessary to cool the area to help reduce swelling.

From that point onward, for at least about two weeks, smoking and alcohol—which can cause inflammation—should absolutely be avoided,

and to help reduce swelling as quickly as possible, it was recommended to practice opening the eyes straight ahead rather than raising the eyebrows.

After the surgery, there may be some itching,

but rubbing the eyes or touching the surgical area directly to stimulate it should be avoided.

For those who have weak natural eye-opening muscles and find it difficult to open their eyes wide;

those who want a clearer impression because their eyes appear sleepy or because the eyes open greatly vertically;

or those whose double-eyelid procedure loosened quickly or became weak,

it would be best to start improvement as soon as possible.
