[Lari Plastic Surgery] Is double eyelid surgery okay, but surgery to remove double eyelids not okay?

"Double eyelid surgery is okay, but surgery to remove double eyelids is not?"

These days, double eyelid surgery is so common that there may be almost no one who has not had their first surgery yet.

At the same time, many people are thinking about single eyelid surgery to remove double eyelids.

For doctors who primarily perform double eyelid surgery,

surgery to remove double eyelids may be relatively unfamiliar, and single eyelid surgery may feel new. Also, if you search online for surgery to remove double eyelids,

you will see people talking about various side effects and describing it as a surgery that should absolutely not be done. But it is not a surgery that should not be done to the extent that it is being seriously portrayed.

Double eyelid surgery was first performed in Europe in the 1800s for the purpose of correcting ptosis, then began in Japan in the 1890s for cosmetic purposes, reflecting Western standards of beauty. It was gradually introduced to Korea from the 1950s onward, and over time, cosmetic surgery became more common.

Because it has been performed from long ago to the present,

the trial-and-error process led to many changes in surgical styles and methods,

and desired results also went through a process of diversification. Double eyelid surgery is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic surgeries for the purpose of improving appearance. However, not all surgeries always produce satisfying results.

There are many different people who consider double eyelid removal surgery.

I did not get the double eyelid shape I wanted from double eyelid surgery. The asymmetry of the double eyelids, or a thick and excessive line, feels burdensome. I have felt tired and heavy-eyed since childhood because of my deep double eyelids. I feel stressed when people say I look sleepy. I want to go back to a more natural eye shape.

In this way, it is not just about cosmetic purposes, but also about issues related to self-esteem, comfort, and daily life. When you search for surgery to remove double eyelids, there are many concerns about side effects. There are countless stories, from "you should never get it" to "this is what happened to the eyes," and so on. Since single eyelid surgery is still surgery performed on my own body, side effects cannot be ignored.

Single eyelid surgery involves removing excess skin during the operation,

so the biggest side effect is incomplete eye closure.

This is something that has been discussed many times in blog posts,

and it is a part that people consider important and even serious.

To give the conclusion first, incomplete eye closure is not caused by skin removal,

and unlike what is exaggerated online, it gradually improves over a certain period of time.

Because of stories saying that eye incompletely closes due to skin removal,

patients sometimes say during consultations that they do not want skin removal and will never agree to it. Please read the post above carefully so there is no misunderstanding..

Other side effects, such as recurrence of the double eyelid or discomfort in the eyes, may occur,

but just as with double eyelid surgery, where the line can loosen and the eyes may feel uncomfortable after surgery,

these are things that can happen sufficiently with any cosmetic procedure performed on the eyes.

So they are far from enough to be used as grounds for saying that surgery to remove double eyelids should not be done.

Double eyelid removal surgery is not simply about erasing the double eyelid line.

It can be seen as a delicate restoration process that takes into account scars, adhesions, and excess skin created by the previous surgery.

It is in the same context as restoring or reconstructing after front canthoplasty or lateral canthoplasty if the scars or shape are unsatisfactory.

Because it is such a high-difficulty surgery, sufficient preoperative consultation, an accurate diagnosis, and a plan for recovery are essential.

One of the negative views of single eyelid surgery is,

why remove a double eyelid that was surgically created in the first place?

Of course, some double eyelids are surgically created and some are natural,

but as people age, their faces change, and within that, their tastes and the image they pursue can also change.

Therefore, this surgery may be a process of finding a look that suits me better now.

If you no longer want to be stressed by an unsatisfactory double eyelid,

and want to find a natural look that suits you,

don't hesitate to consult Lari Plastic Surgery^^
