Did you think eye correction and double eyelid surgery were the same?

They told me I also needed eye correction for my double eyelid surgery. Aren’t those two the same?

They are different. People who are very interested in plastic surgery usually know this difference well, but students who have just become adults after the CSAT, or people preparing for their first double eyelid surgery, often do not know.

Eye correction and double eyelid surgery are similar, but different. It is important to know the difference accurately before proceeding.

When is double eyelid surgery needed?

There are medical cases such as eyelashes constantly poking the eyes, or cosmetic cases such as improving small, cramped-looking eyes and changing the overall impression.

Depending on each person’s skin and eye shape, various methods are applied to improve the issue.

When is eye correction needed?

A representative case is ptosis, where the eyes look sleepy because they are half-closed, and the person opens their eyes using forehead muscles. It is one of the most common surgical methods used to improve this condition.

Even if it is not necessarily ptosis, it is sometimes performed together with double eyelid surgery to create a sharper eye shape, make the eyes look larger, and form a natural double eyelid line.

If the goal is to improve a natural line or mild ptosis symptoms, there are also cases where only eye correction is performed, depending on the medical staff’s judgment.

I want a natural line without incision!

If you want to improve a natural line and mild ptosis problems, a non-incisional method can be enough to improve the issue with minimal swelling.

In addition, you can choose whether or not to have a double eyelid line, and because it uses threads only without incision, there is no scar and it does not artificially create a double eyelid, so it looks natural.

Eye correction and double eyelid surgery also differ in surgical methods and in results, so it is best to make the decision based on the medical staff’s opinion and an accurate diagnosis.

If you want the maximum effect with the correct surgical method, you need to analyze each person’s brow fat, eyelid weight, and muscle thickness, and perform a customized surgery suited to each individual case.
