The eyes can be considered the facial feature that plays the largest role in determining a person’s first impression. Depending on the various shapes of the eyes, the depth of the eyeballs, size, and proportions, the eyes may create a tired or sleepy impression, while they may also appear sharp or gentle.

In particular, if the muscles that open the eyes are weak, whether congenitally or acquired, the upper eyelids may droop or cover the pupils when the eyes are open, creating an indistinct eye shape that can make the person look tired and heavy-eyed. If left untreated, this can also cause forehead wrinkles and, in severe cases, may lead to decreased vision or astigmatism.

Therefore, those who want a more natural impression and clearer, more beautiful eyes may consider eye surgery options such as eye shape correction, double-eyelid surgery, and canthoplasty.

Incisional eye shape correction can be applied to all eye cases. Because it involves a direct incision in the eyelid, the recovery period may be somewhat longer than non-incisional eye shape correction depending on the individual. However, because it removes the skin covering the eyes and tightens the stretched muscles, most patients can expect a clear corrective effect on the eye shape.

Non-incisional eye shape correction is performed in cases where the degree of ptosis is mild, the eyelid skin is thin, or there is little fat in the eyelids. Since it adjusts muscle strength through tiny openings without an incision, a relatively faster recovery can be expected compared with incisional eye shape correction.

Then, can clear and open-looking eyes be achieved with eye shape correction alone? Some people do see results with eye shape correction alone, but eye shape correction is, as the term suggests, a corrective procedure that treats factors obstructing the field of vision. If larger, more open-looking eyes are desired, it may also be considered to combine double-eyelid surgery to make the eyes appear larger with canthoplasty procedures, such as epicanthoplasty to remove the Mongolian fold or lateral canthoplasty, which widens the horizontal length of the eyes by incising the skin at the outer corners or fixing the muscles backward.

Of course, even if the basic surgical methods may be the same, positive results can be achieved only when a surgical plan is tailored to each case based on the surgeon’s experience and know-how.

Director Hwang Ho of Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery Clinic emphasized, “Satisfaction can be improved through various eye surgery cases, including Perfect Big Eye Surgery, which combines eye shape correction, double-eyelid surgery, and canthoplasty,” adding, “Perfect Big Eye is not simply an eye shape correction procedure that tightens only the skin and muscles. It is a customized surgery that considers each person’s different eye depth, skin condition, muscle strength, eye shape, and proportions, allowing improvement toward clear and beautiful eyes that suit the individual.”

Director Hwang further explained, “Eye surgery is often perceived as relatively simple, but even subtle differences can change the outcome, so delicate and precise surgery is required,” adding, “To expect results without side effects or revision surgery, it should be performed using an appropriate surgical method suited to the individual’s eye condition after sufficient consultation with board-certified plastic surgery medical staff who have extensive clinical experience and know-how.”
