Female Eye Shape

Eye shape does not simply refer to the double eyelid as commonly thought, but includes the overall shape
from the Inner Eye Corner to the outer corner, as well as detailed elements such as the angle, tilt, and form of the Inner Eye Corner and outer corner.

Generally, the upper crease of the eye has the highest point in the center, forming a so-called crescent shape, while the
lower crease runs in a nearly straight line from the inner corner to the outer corner.

When women apply makeup, they add shading to the Outer Eye Corner triangle zone to make the eyes appear
larger toward the back & downward direction, and apply makeup to make the lower crease appear as a straight line.

This is evidence that we subconsciously know what beautiful eyes look like.

Male Eye Shape

The eyes men desire are not much different from what women want.

The common traits of the ideal eye shape desired by both men and women are a horizontally long and refreshing eye shape,
a refined eye shape that does not look fierce, and a clear eye shape that does not look drowsy.

Many people commonly think, ’If I get Double Eyelid Surgery, my eyes will look pretty, right?’, ‘If I make the double eyelids big and glamorous
so the eyes themselves get bigger, they’ll look pretty, right?’ However, I would like to say
”No, that is not the case.”

80~90% of Koreans have Inner Eye Corners covered by Epicanthal Folds, with in-fold creases/Monolids,
and a parallelogram/triangle shape with upturned outer eye corners.

Ideal Eyes

No matter how much Double Eyelid Surgery is performed, it is difficult to achieve beautiful eyes because the shape itself does not change.

That is why the shape of the Inner Eye Corner and outer corner, and the shape of the double eyelid inner corner and outer corner must
be changed. Let us now look at this in detail.

• Case 1. After Failed Medial Epicanthoplasty: Hook-shaped Inner Corner, Excessive Lacrimal Lake Exposure,
  Depressed Scar(Epicanthoplasty Reconstruction)Click
• Case 2. Inner Corner Covered by the Epicanthal FoldClick

When patients are diagnosed as needing Epicanthoplasty Reconstruction surgery, they often express doubt.
’Isn’t that a surgery for people who failed Medial Epicanthoplasty or people whose eyes are too close together?’
This perception is ingrained because Epicanthoplasty Reconstruction became known to the public when celebrities appeared on TV
and talked about cases where they had to reverse their failed Medial Epicanthoplasty.

The characteristic of Korean eyes is that ① the Epicanthal Fold extends downward, making the
inner corner of the eye look like a hawk's talon or hook-shape. (Whether the cause is revision surgery or
primary surgery)

Therefore, by blocking the lower part of the bent Inner Eye Corner and moving it upward using
Epicanthoplasty Reconstruction surgery to straighten the inner corner of the eye, crescent eyes (the condition for
beautiful eyes described earlier) can be achieved.

As you can see in the photos, the Inner Eye Corner is covered by the Epicanthal Fold. In such
cases, not only do the eyes look stuffy, but since the double eyelid crease is covered, even if double eyelid surgery is performed,
the desired eye shape and crease cannot be achieved, so the Epicanthal Fold must be removed.

② When the Epicanthal Fold is removed, the lacrimal lake at the front of the eye becomes moderately exposed, the 45-degree
upward direction opens up, transforming into a round parabolic shape, and the double eyelid crease becomes visible,
allowing for an ideal shape.

In-fold, in-out fold, and out-fold creases are important choices when performing Double Eyelid Surgery. Many people think
that ‘just doing Double Eyelid Surgery is enough’ to create the desired crease.
The important factors that determine the double eyelid crease are 40% double eyelid surgery and 60% canthoplasty,
which shows how crucial the presence of the Epicanthal Fold is.

To change from an in-fold crease to an in-out or out-fold crease, the Epicanthal Fold must be removed through canthoplasty,
and to change from an out-fold to an in-out or in-fold crease, the shape of the Inner Eye Corner must be
changed through reconstruction. As such, ③ successful Double Eyelid Surgery is not simply a matter of the crease alone,
but the shape of the double eyelid crease is determined by the presence and shape of the Inner Eye Corner Epicanthal Fold.

When the Outer Eye Corner is blocked and upturned, it not only makes the eyes look smaller but can also give
a fierce impression.

In this case, ④ the shape and angle of the Outer Eye Corner can be improved through Lateral Canthoplasty and Lower Eyelid Surgery
that correct these issues.

When performing Lateral Canthoplasty and Lower Eyelid Surgery, rather than simply incising and suturing, the surgery must be performed
by fixating and pulling at the periosteum and fascia sheath area, so there is no worry of
reattachment or loosening.

As cases of lateral canthoplasty and lower eyelid surgery have increased, side effects from lateral canthoplasty have also become more common.

⑤ Lateral Canthoplasty side effects manifest as C-shaped deformity, conjunctiva exposure, unnatural appearance, etc.

To improve this, Lateral Canthoplasty Reconstruction surgery must be performed. The scar at the Outer Eye Corner and
the exposed mucosa are excised, and the lateral canthal ligament is pulled to the brow bone for fixation and then sutured. At this time,
Lower Eyelid Surgery is performed simultaneously to prevent the eyes from becoming smaller.

Double eyelids must look natural. Many people have the perception that the non-incisional method is natural
and the incisional method is unnatural. However, the surgical method alone
does not determine whether the double eyelid will look natural.

Double Eyelid Surgery must be performed considering each individual's face shape, skin condition, thickness, facial feature proportions, and all other factors
to achieve a natural-looking double eyelid.

What exactly is a natural-looking double eyelid, which may seem like an abstract concept? There are
5 important points for a natural double eyelid.

First, ⑥ A Double Eyelid That Is Not Too Thick. If the double eyelid is too high, the eyes themselves may
look glamorous, but when considering the overall image, it can look unnatural.

Second, excision of skin, muscle, and soft tissue must be minimized. Excessive tissue removal
not only makes the double eyelid crease look unnatural but also causes various problems such as awkward eye shape, lagophthalmos, eye irritation, and more.

Third, fixation must be done at the appropriate depth and strength. Even if the double eyelid crease height is designed to be the same,
depending on the depth, angle, and strength of fixation, the shape can look different when the eyes are open.

Fourth, normalization of fat volume and position is key. When fat was excessively removed during a previous surgery,
the eyelid becomes sunken, requiring more effort to open the eyes, or multiple creases form because the double eyelid cannot fold
stably. ⑨ Fat within the septum must be repositioned
to maintain stable double eyelids.

Lastly, ⑩ Correcting eye-opening strength is necessary. When eye-opening strength is weak, not only does the double eyelid
crease appear unclear making the eyes look drowsy, but also because the brow or forehead muscles are used to open the eyes,
secondary problems such as forehead wrinkles or obstructed vision can occur.

When surgery is performed considering these five factors, that is when a natural double eyelid is achieved.
Given the long history of double eyelid surgery, many people have had the procedure. As a result,
revision surgeries have been increasing recently. To address dissatisfaction with primary surgery and various problems,
it is necessary to understand your own eye condition, whether it is high double eyelid, Low Double Eyelid Crease, Multiple Eyelid Creases, Unnatural Double Eyelids, Droopy Eyes (Ptosis),
asymmetric double eyelid, loosened eyes, etc.

⑪ When the eyelid skin is thin with no sagging and not much fat, the natural adhesion
non-incisional method can be used. Conversely, when the skin is thick with significant sagging and excessive fat,
the incisional method is used. In cases of severe Ptosis, Ptosis Correction is
performed, and in cases of sunken eyelids, Orbital Fat Grafting is used to create ideal double eyelids.
