Busan Eye Surgery: Which Method is Right for Me?

As interest in eye surgery to improve one's image grows, many people wonder which of the various surgical methods is right for them. While referring to others' surgical cases can be helpful, the most important thing is to have a thorough consultation at a medical institution to find the surgical method that suits you.

The key to successful Busan eye surgery is an accurate diagnosis of your eye condition. Sometimes, patients visit a plastic surgery clinic with a celebrity's photo, hoping for a similar or identical double eyelid shape. In such cases, it's advisable not to blindly follow a celebrity's eye shape, but rather to accurately assess your current eye condition and proceed with a surgical method that suits your eyes. For a natural and harmonious eye shape, it's crucial to consider not only the eyes but also the overall facial balance and harmony.

This is because Busan eye surgery aims to create natural results by considering the overall facial harmony, not just the specific area.

No matter how much you desire a particular double eyelid line, if it doesn't suit your eyes or face, your satisfaction with the surgical outcome will inevitably be significantly lower. Therefore, it's essential to make a surgical decision and proceed with it after a precise diagnosis based on the extensive know-how of experienced medical staff in eye surgery.

There are several types of double eyelid lines in Busan eye surgery. The most common and natural double eyelid line is the ‘in-line’, which starts from the inner corner of the eye, with a relatively small line height and length. The in-line, similar to a hidden double eyelid, is highly preferred by men because it makes the eyes look clear despite appearing monolid.

The ‘in-out line’ gradually becomes larger from the inner corner to the outer corner of the eye and is highly preferred by women. The ‘out-line’ is commonly seen in Westerners, creating a refreshing and glamorous look, suitable for those with a greater distance between their eyebrows and eyes. Lastly, the ‘semi-out line’ has become popular recently. It's a combination of the in-line and out-line, offering a more natural look than the larger out-line, making it highly preferred nowadays. The double eyelid starting from the inner corner of the eye is not attached but slightly lifted and extends outwards.

Let's explore the methods of Busan eye surgery. The representative double eyelid surgery methods are the incisional method and the natural adhesion method. The incisional method involves incising the eyelid to create a double eyelid and removing unnecessary fat, muscle, and skin. The natural adhesion method creates tiny holes, removes fat through them, induces adhesion between the skin and the levator palpebrae superioris muscle, and then connects the inner and outer parts of the eyelid with a thread through the holes to naturally create a double eyelid line.

Incisional double eyelid surgery is recommended for those with ample skin and thick eyelids due to excess fat, while the non-incisional (buried suture) method is suitable for those with less eyelid fat and minimal skin sagging. The non-incisional method has the advantage of leaving no visible scars after surgery but carries a higher risk of the double eyelid line loosening. The incisional method can create a refreshing eye shape with minimal concern about loosening, but it requires a longer recovery period and may leave a visible scar when the eyes are closed. It is advisable to compare the pros and cons of each surgery and choose the method that suits your eye condition.

When undergoing Busan eye surgery, ptosis correction can be performed simultaneously. This is recommended for individuals with ptosis. Ptosis refers to a condition where the eyelid does not lift well due to weak muscles that open the eye, causing the skin to significantly cover the pupil.

In such cases, ptosis correction surgery can be performed concurrently to improve ptosis. By shortening the length of the muscles that lift the eyelid, the eyes can open more widely, increasing pupil exposure and making the eyes appear clearer. In addition to double eyelid surgery, eye-widening surgeries can further enhance the eye shape. There are various surgical methods, including epicanthoplasty (front canthoplasty), lateral canthoplasty (back canthoplasty), and lower canthoplasty. Epicanthoplasty can improve a stuffy eye shape caused by Mongolian folds by opening the inner corner of the eye to reveal the medial canthus, thereby increasing the horizontal length of the eye for a more refreshing look. Lateral and lower canthoplasty involves extending the outer corner of the eye downwards, which can soften an upward-slanted eye tail to create a gentler impression. Lower canthoplasty widens the eye by opening the lower eyelid, and it's advisable to determine whether to proceed with the surgery after checking the amount of pupil exposure.

There are various reasons for wanting double eyelid surgery. While those without double eyelids desire them, some people have double eyelids that are covered by skin and not visible, or their eyes appear sleepy and dull, or their eyelids are sunken, making them look tired. In these cases, double eyelid surgery can improve the eye shape. Often, ptosis correction surgery is performed concurrently with double eyelid surgery, and it's best to decide this through consultation with medical staff. Besides ptosis correction, if there isn't much fat in the eyelids, there's a high possibility of developing multiple folds, so fat repositioning or fat grafting may also be performed. Medical staff can make this judgment.

For highly satisfying surgical results, it's advisable to check whether 1:1 customized eye surgery is performed, and if the procedure minimizes scars and creates natural lines.

If you are considering double eyelid surgery, it is advisable to consult with medical staff who have extensive experience in accurately understanding each individual's eye structure and issues, and then choose the appropriate surgical method to decide whether to proceed with the surgery.
