Double Eyelid Surgery for Small Eyes - Surgery to Make Eyes Look Bigger

I’m not sure who started calling it kkomak eyes, but the name seems to fit the image perfectly. It probably compares short, small eyes to kkomak, one of the shellfish varieties that is still not very large. Calling them kkomak eyes instead of just “shellfish eyes” seems to sound similar to “small and tiny,” which may be why people use that term.

In fact, even a good phrase gets tiring after hearing it once or twice, and hearing “kkomak eyes” repeatedly can be quite stressful. So people try heavy eye makeup, colored contact lenses, or double eyelid tape to make their eyes look bigger, but those methods can also be hard to keep up with every day.

The first surgical consideration for addressing small eyes is double eyelid surgery. However, if you try to make small eyes look bigger with double eyelid surgery alone, without eye-opening correction, the crease may be made too large and turn into a sausage-like double eyelid, making the eyes look even smaller.

Because there are limitations to using double eyelid surgery alone for small eyes, such as the risk of a sausage-like side effect, it is important to make good use of eye-opening correction to strengthen the muscles used to open the eyes, as well as procedures that widen the eyes. Since eye-opening correction improves the strength of eye opening, eyes that have had this procedure tend to look sharper and more refreshed overall. Double eyelid surgery that includes eye-opening correction can be an essential first step in correcting small eyes.

If eye-opening correction improves the basic ability to open the eyes and makes them a little bigger vertically, then the next step is to make them larger horizontally and vertically with inner corner or outer corner surgery. In fact, unless the epicanthic fold is very severe, making the eyes longer with inner corner surgery can only extend them toward the inner side, which may create imbalance, so outer corner surgery is essential for extending the length of the eyes. The three surgeries that can enlarge small eyes are collectively called the “big-eye surgery.”

The key to big-eye surgery is eye-opening correction, but the finishing touch is outer corner surgery. Outer corner surgery expands the outer corners of the eyes, increasing both eye length and vertical openness, so it can create a synergistic effect together with eye-opening correction in big-eye surgery.

However, even with big-eye surgery, if the reason for small eyes is the size of the eye socket—that is, the skeleton structure of the eyes is small—then even the three-surgery big-eye procedure may have limitations. To understand these limitations, do not forget that you need to visit a plastic surgery specialist who focuses on big-eye surgery and receive an in-depth consultation in person!

For people with a small eye-socket skeletal structure, the effect of big-eye surgery may not be large.
