Regardless of age or gender, people tend to prefer a bright, well-defined look over an impression that seems closed-off or timid. The facial feature that determines this is the eyes. Eyes with clearly visible irises can give a confident, self-assured impression, which is why many job seekers and brides- and grooms-to-be seek eye surgery.
 

Double eyelid surgery has now become a common procedure, and the number of people looking to have it during school breaks, holidays, or vacations has increased. This is because advances in medical technology have greatly reduced the time and cost involved in consultation, surgery, and recovery. Most patients hope for results that are clearly noticeable, yet with double eyelids that settle in naturally without looking overdone.
 

To achieve this, creating a well-defined eye line is important, but the surgical plan must be based on the double eyelid line and method best suited to each individual. Surgical stability and satisfaction improve only when various factors are considered together with the overall image, such as the fat in the upper eyelid, the existing line, the width and height of the eyes, and age.
 

One more thing to consider is that eye surgery methods differ between men and women, so the double eyelid design that suits each also differs.
 

First, for women, a relatively wide variety of lines can be created in eye surgery. There is a broad range of designs to choose from, such as in-line, in-out line, out-line, and semi-out line, depending on the individual's aesthetic preferences, face shape, and overall look. If there is a lot of fat in the upper eyelid, a procedure to remove some of it can be performed at the same time, and if there is ptosis, ptosis correction may also be needed simultaneously.

Men, on the other hand, often have thicker eyelid skin and prefer thin, natural double eyelids that are not too thick and where the line appears partly hidden, similar to an inner fold. If the line is set too thick, it can create an overdone, unnatural impression. In addition, men have thicker skin and somewhat more fat and muscle than women, and the rate of ptosis is also higher in men.

Ultimately, for a satisfying surgical result, one should choose medical staff who can take these various differences between men and women into account and recommend the most appropriate and natural eye line and surgical method.

 

Dr. Seung-jeh Lee of NANA Plastic Surgery said, "Double eyelid surgery can bring a clear change to the eye shape and overall impression, so it is a procedure that both men and women prefer and show interest in. The surgical method and the achievable line thickness vary by age and gender, so the surgeon must be able to perform customized surgery for each patient by comprehensively considering every factor, including the preferred eye shape and design, skin characteristics, and muscle."

He added, "What matters when choosing a clinic is not to be swayed by online reviews, low prices, or promotions, but to check whether medical staff with extensive clinical experience are on site, whether the clinic is equipped with advanced equipment and up-to-date systems, and whether it provides thorough aftercare."
