Because the eyes are the first facial feature people tend to notice, the image conveyed by the eyes is an important factor that can determine how favorably someone is perceived in a short amount of time.
In practice, people with large, open-looking eyes often give a favorable impression, while those with small eyes can easily appear somewhat heavy or closed-off.
For this reason, people who are concerned about their small, heavy-looking eyes may consider medical services such as ptosis correction and canthoplasty as alternatives, making it possible to achieve either a gentle, puppy-like eye shape or a cat-like, alluring eye shape.
For large, open-looking eyes, the ideal eye size is generally considered to have a horizontal-to-vertical width ratio of about 1:0.45. However, it is generally difficult to have this ideal ratio, and the ideal proportion may differ from person to person, so it is recommended to decide on surgery after a thorough diagnosis by a board-certified plastic surgeon.
To achieve an ideal horizontal eye width, dual canthoplasty may be performed, combining epicanthoplasty, which opens the Mongolian fold covering the inner corner of the eye, with lateral canthoplasty, which involves making an incision at the outer corner of the eye and fixing the muscle toward the back.
To create an overall clearer eye shape, it can be helpful to perform ptosis correction together with this dual canthoplasty, regardless of whether double eyelids are present. This procedure removes the skin covering the pupil through a skin incision and fixes the lax muscle upward.
However, ptosis correction and canthoplasty are divided into incisional and non-incisional methods, so the appropriate surgical method should be decided through consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. This is because accurately diagnosing eyelid sagging, skin thickness, amount of fat, and muscle strength is necessary to achieve high satisfaction with the surgical results.
Incisional ptosis correction is generally applied when the eyes look sleepy or cannot open clearly. It is performed in cases such as thick skin with severe sagging, severe ptosis symptoms, or forehead wrinkles that appear when opening the eyes, and improvement to a clearer and softer eye shape can be expected.
Director Hwang Ho of Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery explained, “The surgery that produces the greatest change in the eyes is ptosis correction, which pulls the eye-opening muscle to make the eyes appear larger overall in an upward direction. In addition to improving ptosis, when performed on eyes that give an overall blurred impression, it can help create larger and clearer-looking eyes.”
He added, “Eyes with narrow inner corners can look sharp, so creating an eye shape that opens refreshingly from the inner corner can bring about a change in the overall impression. This is a small but significant point of change for patients who want a more open and softer image.”
He further noted, “High satisfaction with surgery can be expected only when the procedure is carried out after comprehensive consideration of each individual’s eye shape and function, as well as the desired postoperative image, through detailed consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon with sufficient experience and expertise.”
