Interest in appearance has been steadily increasing compared to the past. Previously, it was mainly young women in their 20s who were most interested in their looks, and beyond that, only people in certain professions such as celebrities and models made efforts to improve their appearance.

 

Recently, however, not only women but men, not only people in their 20s but the middle-aged, and not only certain professions but people across the board are striving to improve their appearance in the ideal direction they want. To achieve this, they do not shy away from medical methods such as surgery.

 

Among surgical methods, the eyes are one of the most commonly treated areas. The eyes are an area where even a small improvement can have a big effect, and they play an important role in determining appearance and first impressions. Even people with the same nose, mouth shape, and face shape can show a big change simply through a different eye size, eye line, or shape.

 

The preferred methods for this surgery also differ between women and men. Many women prefer large, bright, doll-like eyes. The line can be divided into in-line and out-line: with an in-line, the starting point of the double eyelid line coincides with the inner corner of the eye, whereas an out-line is positioned above the inner corner, forming a thick double eyelid from the very start. It is helpful to make a plan that considers these detailed concepts along with various factors such as the individual's image and overall balance.

 

Men, on the other hand, prefer a natural inner double eyelid where only the outer end of the line is slightly visible rather than a visible line. A thick line can create an overdone, unnatural impression, so it is helpful to plan with this in mind.

 

The characteristics of skin and fat distribution in men and women also need to be considered. Men have thicker skin than women, while women have more fat than men. If the plan takes these factors into account, along with each individual's unique characteristics beyond gender, the surgery can be safe and satisfying.
