Before Your First Double Eyelid Surgery, Let’s Find Out the Causes and Solutions for Asymmetrical Eyes! 😀

Hello,

This is VN Plastic Surgery :)

The asymmetrical eyes that keep catching your attention when you look in the mirror!

They stand out even more on days when you take photos.

In fact, many patients visit us to correct asymmetrical eyes with

double eyelid surgery.

Most of them do not feel discomfort in everyday life,

but they are stressed because the face in photos looks different from

their reflection in the mirror,

or they want to improve asymmetrical eyes through their first double eyelid surgery for various reasons.

Today, let’s take a look at asymmetry correction for first-eye surgery

with Dr. Kim Tae-hoon of VN Plastic Surgery!

Did you know that there are different types of asymmetrical eyes?

Types of eye asymmetry

When there is a difference in the height and shape of the double eyelids

When only one side has a double eyelid

This is one of the types of asymmetrical eyes that many people are familiar with.

In this case, symmetry can be achieved by creating a double eyelid on the other side.

Sometimes only the side without a double eyelid is treated,

and sometimes both eyes are operated on

to match the symmetry more precisely.

When the height and shape of the double eyelids are different

If the height or shape of the double eyelids is different, the double eyelid line can be raised to match the higher eye or lowered to match the lower eye.

Sometimes it is adjusted to fall somewhere between the two eyelid lines.

However, the surgical method for raising the line and the method for lowering it may be different.

When the line needs to be raised during double eyelid surgery, a non-incisional method is usually performed, and when the line needs to be lowered, an incisional method is used.

However, depending on the individual characteristics of the eyes, additional procedures such as double-line formation or skin excision may be necessary.

When the eyebrow positions are different

The second case is when the eyebrow positions are different.

In such cases, a representative cause is a difference in the strength of the forehead muscles that lift the eyebrows.

Because of the asymmetry caused by the difference in lifting strength,

one eye may look larger or the other may look smaller.

Over time, this type can appear not only as a difference in eye size

but also as overall facial asymmetry.

In this case, Botox or brow lift surgery can be used

to balance the strength of the eyebrows,

and the first double eyelid surgery line can be changed in a more harmonious way.

When there is a difference in the fullness of the eyelids

A difference in the fullness of the eyelids can make the eyes look asymmetrical.

Some people have the same strength when opening their eyes, and the double eyelid line is not significantly different when their eyes are closed, but when they open their eyes, the size looks different and it causes discomfort.

In such cases, the cause may be a difference in the amount of fat or muscle in the eyelids.

By removing part of the area with more fat or muscle,

a symmetrically balanced result can be achieved and asymmetry can be corrected during the first double eyelid surgery.

In addition, if the difference is not due to excess fat,

the difference may be caused by hollowing of the eyelids due to sunken eyelid fat.

In such cases, instead of fat removal, upper eyelid fat repositioning or fat grafting can be used to replenish the lacking eyelid volume and correct the asymmetry.

When there is a difference in the strength of opening the eyes

There are also cases where there is a difference in the strength of opening the eyes, just like with the eyebrows.

In such cases, eye-opening correction can be enough to improve the issue.

Many people think of it as an additional procedure when getting their first double eyelid surgery,

but in some cases, eye-opening correction is even more important than creating the double eyelid itself.

Even if the line is made beautifully,

if the strength for opening the eyes is weak, it can still lead to what is commonly called "sausage eyes."

Asymmetry correction that you thought could be solved simply by making a double eyelid

Did you realize that it is important to identify the complex causes before your first double eyelid surgery, perhaps more than expected?!

Cases where double eyelid surgery is difficult

However, there are also cases where it is difficult to proceed with the first double eyelid surgery.

This is said to be due to differences in the skeletal structure on both sides.

In other words, it refers to cases where the cheekbones, eye sockets, and eye size are different,

making the perspective look different.

In such cases, even if you meet a highly skilled specialist,

perfect correction is said to be difficult.

Above all, asymmetrical eyes occur for many complex reasons.

So what should come first is finding a doctor with plenty of experience who understands the ideal line you want.

Please talk with several places,

and after 충분한 고민 끝에, we hope you can go ahead with your first double eyelid surgery and become even more beautiful :)
