Appearance transformation is one of the New Year’s wishes many people dream of, from the MZ generation to middle-aged adults, regardless of age group. In particular, after seeing dramatic before-and-after photos of celebrities and influencers, many people inquire about clinics that are good at eye plastic surgery or famous plastic surgery clinics. Recently, one influencer drew attention by revealing information about the plastic surgery clinic where they had eye and nose surgery on SNS, saying that DMs asking about plastic surgery and double eyelid surgery information were flooding in.

According to explanations from board-certified plastic surgeons, a successful eye plastic surgery requires a precise understanding of the differences between double eyelid surgery, epicanthoplasty, canthoplasty, and ptosis correction, and choosing the eye surgery method that suits you best.

First, if you are planning natural adhesion double eyelid surgery, it is necessary to clearly understand the difference between buried double eyelid surgery and incision double eyelid surgery. The multi-point buried method creates a double eyelid by continuously tying the skin and muscle together, so it is less likely to loosen and lasts a long time. It is suitable when incision double eyelid surgery feels burdensome, when the eyelids are thin, or when a natural-looking double eyelid and a quick recovery from eye plastic surgery are desired.

The incision method is recommended for cases where the eyelids are thick and there is a lot of fat, where the eyelids are thin but severely droopy, or where the double eyelid line feels awkward after a first eye surgery. Depending on the preferred image, an in-line, out-line, or in-out line is selected for the incision, and after removing an appropriate amount of fat and eyelid tissue and then suturing, a more defined double eyelid line can be expected.

Next, if you have drooping eyes accompanied by ptosis, ptosis correction can help. If your eyes still look sleepy or tired even after double eyelid surgery, it is possible to improve small eyes so they look larger and more defined through ptosis correction. In this case, ptosis correction surgery should be performed in the most optimal customized way, taking into account eyelid thickness, degree of sagging, amount of black eye exposed, eye corner angle, distance between the eyes, and the strength of the eyelid-opening muscles.

Also, if you are not satisfied with the length of your eyes, the corners, or the overall eye shape, you may consider epicanthoplasty or canthoplasty. If the eyes are short or look cramped because they are covered by the epicanthal fold, then 'epicanthoplasty,' which opens up the inner corner of the eye to match the proportions and shape of the eyes, can be used. If the eye shape looks small and sharp and needs adjustment at the outer corners, then 'canthoplasty,' which widens the area at the outer corner of the eye in proportion to the face, can improve satisfaction with eye surgery.

Director Lee Bo-hyung of Note Plastic Surgery Clinic in Seoul explained, "Because even a slight change in the eyes can make the image look clearly different, eye plastic surgery is considered one of the most preferred procedures. However, there are also many unsatisfactory double eyelid surgery reviews and double eyelid surgery complications, so it must be decided carefully. Rather than relying only on information from the internet to look for a clinic that is good at double eyelid surgery, double eyelid surgery costs, or double eyelid surgery prices, I hope you will check whether the medical team carefully diagnoses and analyzes each person's eye condition, shape, proportions, eyelid thickness, and eye exposure, and then suggests a suitable eye plastic surgery method."
