Busan Eye Surgery: How to Find the Right Procedure for Your Eyes

When considering eye surgery, the first thought that often comes to mind is,

‘Which method will suit me best?’

You might feel overwhelmed wondering if the non-incisional method will look natural,

if the incisional method is necessary for a defined line,

or if additional procedures like epicanthoplasty or ptosis correction are needed.

Since everyone has different skin thickness, fat volume, and muscle strength in their eyes,

you should not choose a surgical method based solely on other people’s reviews or current trends.

To find the optimal eye surgery method for you,

you need to carefully consider several key factors.

Among those who come for consultations,

some ask, ‘Please use the non-incisional method no matter what,’ or

‘I heard the incisional method is good because it never loosens, is that true?’

However, the non-incisional method is not always the answer,

nor is the incisional method the only perfect solution.

The most important prerequisite is

to accurately and objectively analyze your eye structure.

If you insist on a specific surgical method without considering the unique biological and structural characteristics of your eyes,

there is a high risk of the line loosening or requiring revision surgery.

The first point in determining the surgical method is

‘eyelid skin thickness’ and ‘fat volume.’

If your skin is thin and you have less eyelid fat,

the non-incisional method can create a natural line with less scarring,

without the need for an incision.

On the other hand, if your skin is thick or you have a lot of fat,

the incisional method is more suitable.

This is because the incisional method allows for the removal of unnecessary fat and adhesive tissues,

ensuring the line remains stable and doesn't disappear or loosen over a long period.

The second point is ‘the strength of the muscles that open the eye.’

If your eyes usually look sleepy,

or if you use your forehead muscles to open your eyes,

causing forehead wrinkles to form easily,

you might suspect ‘ptosis.’

Ptosis refers to a condition where the muscles that open the eye are weak,

preventing the eyelid from lifting properly and significantly covering the pupil.

In such cases, simply performing double eyelid surgery will not improve the sleepy appearance of the eyes,

so it is necessary to combine it with ptosis correction, which lifts the eye-opening muscles.

This increases the exposure of the pupil,

creating a much clearer and more vibrant eye shape.

The third point is ‘design (type of line).’

Double eyelid lines are broadly categorized into:

In-line, which starts from the inner corner of the eye with a subtle line;

In-out line, where the line gradually becomes more prominent from the inner corner to the outer;

Semi-out line, which is slightly detached from the inner corner, giving a sophisticated look;

And the glamorous out-line, similar to Westerners’ eyes.

It is important to note here that your ‘desired line’ and ‘possible line’

may differ.

Only by comprehensively considering factors such as the presence of epicanthal folds, eyelid thickness, and eye structure

can you achieve a natural line that is not artificial and harmonizes with your facial features.

As such, even for the same double eyelid surgery,

there are various factors to consider, such as individual eyelid thickness, fat volume, eye-opening strength, and epicanthal folds.

Therefore, for successful eye surgery,

it is crucial not just to create a line, but to consider all these complex factors together

and choose the surgical method that is right for you.
