Eye procedures such as double-eyelid surgery, ptosis correction, and lower-eyelid fat surgery have truly become mainstream cosmetic procedures. As the eyes largely determine a person's first impression, a growing number of people — from university students and job seekers to working professionals — are considering eye surgery.
The most important thing in eye surgery is harmony with one's own face. However, when people overreach and insist on eyes that are simply large and eye-catching, the result fails to harmonize and ends up looking unnatural. Eye surgery should be performed only after analyzing the overall structure of the face and the proportions best suited to one's own eyes.
In addition, many people consider revision eye surgery when, after the procedure, the double-eyelid line is too thick or has multiple folds, when the fold comes undone, or when severe scarring or an artificial-looking eyelid line develops. To avoid side effects, a careful approach that weighs various factors is essential when deciding on eye surgery.
On this point, Dr. Hwang Ho, director of Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery (board-certified plastic surgeon), said, "For natural eye surgery, the most important thing is to identify the eyes that suit you best. You must examine the overall elements of the face and consider individual factors such as the appropriate size and angle of the eyes for each person."
Dr. Hwang added, "In the case of revision eye surgery in particular, the procedure must be tailored to the individual's condition," and continued, "Scarring should be minimized so that no trace of the revision remains, while the characteristics of the patient's own skin and tissue are analyzed to pinpoint the exact cause of what was lacking in the previous surgery and to choose the revision method that best suits the individual."
