Is eyelid surgery really a "never-to-be-done" procedure? Distinguishing between the necessary and unnecessary.

Eyelid surgery is one of the surgeries that is always controversial in communities and videos.

It is also common to see claims that “you should never get eye correction surgery.”

 

But the crux of the matter is not the surgery itself, but the question of who needs it.

 

1️⃣ Why is eye correction so controversial?

We need to start by defining eye correction.

Eye correction is discussed in two main contexts.

• Ptosis surgery (disease)
  When the eyelids cover the pupil due to insufficient strength in the muscles that open the eyes, causing visual impairment
  → Diagnose the disease and perform surgery for treatment purposes

• Eye correction for cosmetic purposes
  When you want bigger eyes and a clearer impression, but it is not a disease
  An approach that uses the eye-opening structure to make the eyes look bigger
  → Rather than “treatment” Aesthetic choice Close to

2️⃣ When do you think eye correction is necessary?

The most intuitive criteria presented by doctors

When deciding whether to recommend eye surgery, some of the most common criteria doctors consider are:

 

Black pupil exposure

• The pupils If it appears to be less than 80%

• If you only get double eyelid surgery, You may look more sleepy

• The ideal exposure range is About 80~90%

If you don't meet this standard, your eyes may not look clear even if you only make double eyelids.

 

3️⃣ There are definitely cases where eye correction is not necessary.

In the case of pseudoptosis

The ability to open your eyes is normal. If the skin is sagging and covering the eyes This is called pseudoptosis.

 

In this case

• Just fix the sagging skin

• In many cases, the pupils are fully exposed

• Eye correction may not be necessary

In other words, “I avoid hospitals that recommend eye correction.” Distrust that arises when you recommend something to an eye that doesn't need it This is a claim that comes from .

 

4️⃣ Ultimately, the criteria for selection is 'expectations regarding eye size'

What is important in the counseling process is The patient's desired final eye size no see.

 

Doctors usually offer the following options:

• Choice A
  Just corrects sagging skin → Eyes look slightly clearer than they are now

• • If you are satisfied with A → No need for eye correction

• Choice B
  A choice to make the eyes appear larger by increasing the exposure of the pupils.

• If you want B → you can consider eye correction

There is no single correct answer; it depends on the desired outcome.

 

 

5️⃣ Non-incision double eyelid surgery isn't for everyone.

Principle of non-incision method

• A method of double eyelid surgery in which threads are placed on the muscles that open the eyes, causing them to exert slightly more strength.

• The power to open your eyes If it's just a little bit lacking Considered only for

When application is limited

• If you have a severe lack of strength to open your eyes

• If there is left-right asymmetry

• If your eyes have a lot of volume

In this situation, non-incision double eyelid surgery is It may not be effective or suitable.

Therefore, the choice of surgical method is the doctor's judgment, not the patient's.

 

6️⃣ How should we view the claim that “don’t get eye correction”?

The statement that you should never get eye correction surgery is not a one-size-fits-all answer that can be applied in all cases.

• If you recommend it to eyes that don't need it, it becomes a problem.

• If you don't do it when necessary
  Double eyelids alone may not produce the desired impression.

Eyelid surgery can be problematic when done excessively, but it can also be a valuable option when necessary.

 

 

7️⃣ To summarize

Eye correction

• Not a cure for the disease Beauty Selection and

• Pupil exposure and desired eye size According to
  It depends on whether you need it or not.

What's important is

• It's not "You absolutely must do it / You absolutely must not do it"

• Accurately distinguish between your own eye condition and your expectations no see.
