About the Height of Double Eyelid Surgery Outline

When you look at Western eyes, the eyes are deep-set and the brow bone protrudes relatively more, so even a thick and large double eyelid does not look awkward. In addition, there is little fat in the upper eyelid area and almost no epicanthic fold in front of the eye, so the double eyelid line is usually an outline. Westerners almost always have eyes with a double eyelid, so double eyelid surgery is not necessary.

Most East Asians do not have a double eyelid and have an epicanthic fold. That is why the eyes look small and slanted. To make small eyes look larger, people have double eyelid surgery and epicanthoplasty, and recently canthoplasty at the outer corners has also become popular. When doing double eyelid surgery, the line shape can be divided into inline, outline, and in-out line depending on the shape of the double eyelid line, and among these, the shape closest to Western eyes is the outline.

#In outline double eyelid surgery, height is important. In eyes with an epicanthic fold, if you want to create an outline without epicanthoplasty, you need to set the line high. If the double eyelid height is set too low, the line at the front of the eye will fold into the epicanthic fold and end up taking on an inline shape. If you want an outline even when setting the double eyelid height somewhat lower, you must do epicanthoplasty together to remove the epicanthic fold so that the line does not fold inward into an inline shape.

In the case of deep-set eyes with thick eyelid skin, if you insist too much on an outline shape and set the double eyelid height too high, it can become an unnatural sausage-like double eyelid, so caution is needed. For such eyes, it is better to combine epicanthoplasty appropriately and avoid setting the double eyelid too high, settling for an in-out line 정도, which results in a more visually pleasing double eyelid height.
