[Lari Plastic Surgery] Eyelid Correction Surgery and Upper Canthoplasty: Experiencing the Maximum Effect of Non-Double-Eyelid Eyelid Correction Without Medial Drooping

The eyes are a small part of the face, but they are an important factor that determines the impression of the face.

However, in some cases where the muscles are congenitally weak and it is difficult to open the eyes,

or where the eyelids are thick or the skin covers too much of the eyes, the eyes can look sleepy and heavy.

In such cases, they may not give a very good impression,

so it is helpful to create clearer and more natural-looking eyes through eyelid correction surgery.

As you can see in the preoperative photo, this patient

1. has eyes that feel heavy when opening them,
2. has an uneven eye appearance due to excess skin and drooping,
3. has the pupils largely covered by the upper eyelids, and
4. has several irregular overlapping folds.

Even when the eyes are closed, there are several folds on the upper eyelids.

In this condition, eyelid correction surgery to strengthen the ability to open the eyes,

skin removal to correct excess skin and drooping,

and upper canthoplasty to prevent the front part of the eyelid from drooping after surgery are needed.

In the early stage after surgery, swelling, mild bruising, and redness are common.

During this period, the area around the eyes may look very swollen, but it gradually subsides over time.

One week after surgery,

even though swelling is still present, you can clearly see that the eyes are larger and more distinct than before surgery.

We can confirm the effect of surgery by the amount of pupil that was hidden before surgery and is now visible.

Because the patient is male, non-double-eyelid eyelid correction was performed so that the double-eyelid line would not become too thick.

At this point, the line still appears somewhat thick, and there is a difference between the two eyes,

but there is no need to worry too much about that right now.

This is a photo taken three months after surgery.

As the swelling and bruising gradually disappear, the eyes are settling into place well.

Unlike the one-week post-op state, when a line was noticeably visible despite having non-double-eyelid eyelid correction,

the double-eyelid line has become very natural, almost close to a non-double-eyelid look,

and you can see that the eyes have become clearer without an artificial feeling.

The difference in size between the two eyes has also been corrected to be nearly the same.

*** A point that must be addressed here ***

If you look at the eyes on day 7 after surgery, the upper eyelid is turned outward,

and you can see mucosal exposure.

This is one of the symptoms that commonly appears in people who undergo non-double-eyelid surgery to remove the double eyelid,

or in people who undergo eyelid correction,

and it occurs as the necessary structures for clearer eye opening are created during surgery.

This symptom is severe at first in the early postoperative period,

but it gradually improves over time.

However, until it improves, the eyes may feel uncomfortable in various ways, so

after using artificial tears or eye drops as needed,

you should take proper care while being careful not to rub or irritate your eyes.

After eyelid correction, patients may think that surgery will naturally make their eyes larger and clearer,

but in reality, the patient’s cooperation is very important.

Even after eyelid correction surgery,

the patient must develop the habit of opening the eyes clearly with their own effort in daily life;

otherwise, no matter how much surgery is performed, it is difficult to achieve good results.

That is why people who use their forehead a lot when opening their eyes

should get help from forehead Botox to control unconscious forehead muscle use.

When the eyes are closed after surgery, an incision scar is naturally visible like this.

In the beginning, some people avoid surgery and feel burdened because of the severe-looking scar,

but as everyone knows, bruising, swelling, and scars improve and fade over time.

Comparing the three-month photo with the earlier one, the bruising and swelling have almost completely gone,

and the red-looking incision line has improved a lot.

At that time, I also thought it had improved a lot and looked natural,

but when I actually saw the six-month photo, it finally felt complete.

Because surgery was performed, there cannot be absolutely no scar on the skin,

but compared to the early stage after surgery, the current scar has become light and natural.

There are people who come in having heard the false rumor that eyelid correction prevents the eyes from closing,

and they insist that they would never do eyelid correction even though they cannot open their eyes well,

but as you can see from the photos, the eyes close well even after eyelid correction.

Of course, outcomes differ from person to person, so there are also cases where the eyes do not close as well.

In the very early postoperative period, the eyes may not close fully because of the anesthetic medication,

and later, swelling or structural reasons may also cause incomplete closure.

Although the exact duration cannot be predicted in advance,

incomplete eye closure gradually improves during recovery and most people return to a normal state with proper closure.

(Excluding those who already had incomplete eye closure before surgery)

In addition to eyelid correction that helps open eyes that cannot open properly,

eyelid correction is also performed in various cases, such as to fine-tune slight differences in pupil exposure, or to match differences in double-eyelid line thickness.

However, as in the case of the patient above,

people who originally have difficulty opening their eyes, or who have too much excess skin,

often see such dramatic changes from eyelid correction surgery.

Depending on the shape and condition of the eyes, upper canthoplasty may also be necessary,

so to achieve major change with maximum effect,

you should обязательно come in for a consultation and undergo the surgery that suits your eyes.
