Lowering Upturned Outer Corners, Barbie Doll Lower Eye Widening

In the era of one-person media such as SNS and YouTube, it is common to upload before-and-after makeup photos or videos. What stands out here is the eye area. The image of the eyes can even be seen as expressing the atmosphere and emotions of the person speaking in the video.

Especially, the change before and after eye makeup is so striking that the number of makeup tools and cosmetics needed for eye makeup is much greater than for other areas, which shows how important the eye image is. As a joke, there is another thing that shows the importance of eye images on SNS. If you change the English word for SNS into Korean, it becomes “eyes.”

An upturned outer corner can somehow look angry unless you are smiling, and it may even seem a little untrustworthy. Eyes in other photos or videos may somehow look kinder and gentler. You may try to make the outer corner look lower with makeup, but makeup can only cover it for so long.

One of the surgeries for lowering the outer corner of the eye, aside from outer corner surgery, is lower eye widening. Lower eye widening is done not only to make the eyes look bigger, but also to create the effect of the under-eye lower line curving downward so the outer corner appears drooped. Among celebrities, if someone has large, deer-like eyes, the area under the eyes is slightly lowered as if they had undergone lower eye widening. For that reason, people sometimes mistake celebrities for having had lower eye widening surgery.

Lower eye widening should be performed separately from outer corner surgery that lowers the outer corner. This is because if the outer corner lowering is properly anchored to the periosteum, it becomes difficult to turn the eye area inside out and perform lower eye widening. It is much more effective to do lower eye widening after outer corner surgery that lowers the outer corner.

Usually, lower eye widening is thought of as simple because the recovery period is about one week, so some people go ahead with the procedure casually. However, depending on how much widening is done, the recovery period may end up being longer than expected, so it is best to decide whether to have the surgery only after sufficient consultation.
