Sleepy-looking eyes refer to a state in which the eyes have weak opening strength,
but in general, most people have thick double eyelids.
A thick double eyelid can interfere with opening the eyes clearly,
making it difficult to open them well.
If this kind of double eyelid is reduced significantly, the eyes can open more clearly.

A thick outer-line double eyelid makes the eyes look flashy and feminine, so
for men who want a clean monolid or a natural inner line,
it can feel a bit burdensome.
Even before surgery, the eyes did not look greasy or strange,
but after surgery, the subtle inner line that looks like a monolid
looks more natural than before surgery and, in fact, looks clearer than it did before.

If the double-eyelid line is pulled too far outward,
a revision epicanthoplasty is needed for the double-eyelid line to be corrected into an inner line,
but for double eyelids that were outer lines without a special epicanthoplasty,
a surgery that removes the double eyelid alone can usually make the line into an inner line
without a revision epicanthoplasty.

By also removing the third fold that had formed above the double-eyelid line before surgery,
the eyes were corrected into a smooth subtle inner line after surgery,
and the tired-looking impression caused by the wrinkles above the double-eyelid line
also disappeared after surgery, making the eyes much brighter and more natural.

Three months after surgery, the eyes were slightly less closed at the beginning,
but over time they gradually closed more normally,
and by three months they were closing well.
Because the eyes are less closed in the early stage after surgery, there may be some dryness or irritation,
along with dry-eye symptoms,
but once the eyes close properly, these issues naturally improve as well.
