[Lari Plastic Surgery] Before-and-After Photos of Eye Surgery to Remove a Natural Double Eyelid and Create a Monolid

Regardless of age or gender, monolids without a double eyelid have been trending lately because they look natural.

Patients come to the hospital to undergo surgery to undo and remove a previously received double-eyelid surgery.

Some people who had a double eyelid created through surgery may think of it as a procedure to return to their original eyes. But not only those people, even those who were born with a natural double eyelid or have a natural double-eyelid line may come to the hospital wanting to remove it.

Rather than coming in for a consultation with a simple, blind desire of “I just want to get rid of my double eyelids!”, there are of course cases where they simply do not like eyes with a double eyelid. But there are also reasons such as “my double eyelid is too high and gives off a heavy or overdone impression,” or “I really hate it when the double-eyelid line shows when I look downward.” In other words, people choose surgery based on various reasons and their subjective judgment about those reasons.

Put simply, it is not that they dislike the double eyelid itself, but that they dislike something else caused by the double eyelid much more, so they undergo surgery to improve that part.

In this person’s case, they disliked the double eyelid, but they also hated the deep line that appeared when looking downward. So, while accepting the possibility that the eyes might not fully close for a while, they underwent surgery to remove the double eyelid and create a complete monolid.

For people with severe dry eyes or generally weak eyes, after surgery to remove the double eyelid, the eyes may not close fully for a period of time, causing much more discomfort than before for a certain period. In such cases, it is better to have surgery that creates an inner double eyelid line that is closer to a monolid rather than a complete monolid. However, if you absolutely cannot stand a visible double-eyelid line when looking downward, you have to accept the inconvenience mentioned above and have surgery for a complete monolid.

Depending on what result you want from the surgery, there are things you cannot do even if you want to, and things you have to do even if you do not want to.

Looking at the before-and-after photos, the thick double-eyelid line that extended outward has been successfully removed into a complete monolid. However, this person likely also felt a lot of discomfort in the early stage of recovery because the eyes could not fully close. As such, to achieve the desired result, you may have to endure unwanted discomfort in the eyes. So before having surgery, it is a good idea to check how much discomfort you can realistically tolerate for the sake of the result.

[PS]

Usually, when surgery is performed to create a complete monolid like this, the eyes can look a little tight and smaller, so eye correction surgery is done together. But this patient said they did not want their eyes to look too sharp, so only the double eyelid was removed with almost no eye correction.

Depending on the shape and condition of the eyes, even if the double eyelid is removed, it is possible to perform surgery so the eyes open well and look clear. So there is no need to worry or feel disappointed just by looking at the result above^^
