Shin Dong-yup, confession about eyelid surgery... When is it really necessary?

As the skin around the eyes becomes thinner and due to blinking and other reasons, the eyelids sag more with age.

There are surprisingly many people who consider double eyelid surgery because their eyelids droop like Shin Dong-yup. This is because, as they age, their eyelids sag differently than before, causing various discomforts. The area around the eyes is the part of facial skin that ages the fastest. The skin around the eyes is thin and has fewer sebaceous glands, making wrinkles more likely to form. Repeatedly blinking and moving the skin and muscles around the eyes in daily life also contribute to the loss of elasticity.

When the eyelids droop, it often gives a tired and depressed appearance. The natural double eyelid may disappear, making the eyes look smaller and more constricted. Excessive drooping of the upper eyelids can cover the pupils, potentially obstructing vision. It can also lead to skin conditions such as periorbital dermatitis.

If eyelids droop, they can cover the pupils and obstruct vision... Double eyelid surgery and ptosis correction can help.

To avoid various inconveniences, creating a new double eyelid like Shin Dong-yup can be helpful. The popular eyelid surgery, double eyelid surgery, involves connecting part of the eye muscles and skin to create a double eyelid line. Depending on the condition of the eyes, incision or suture methods can be applied. The incision method involves cutting the eyelid skin, removing some muscle and fat, and creating a new double eyelid. The suture method involves making small holes in the eyelid and tying them with thread to form the double eyelid line.

There is also a method of correction surgery called ptosis surgery, which involves pulling the levator muscle that lifts the eyelid, along with double eyelid surgery. This procedure strengthens the loosened and weakened levator muscle to correct the eye shape. It also removes eyelid fat to create a clearer eye appearance and reduce the heaviness of the eyes. Strengthening the levator muscle can also prevent forehead wrinkles. When the levator muscle is weak, the forehead muscles are naturally used when opening the eyes, leading to prominent forehead wrinkles.

There is a possibility that your expression may appear harsher after double eyelid surgery... thorough consultation about eyelid thickness and other factors before surgery is necessary.

Removing sagging eyelids and recreating double eyelids can alleviate the discomfort experienced so far, but there is a possibility that the expression may appear more severe after surgery. As one ages, drooping eyelids and eyebrows that sag together can create new double eyelids, which may affect the overall impression. In such cases, it may be necessary to make an incision above the eyebrows or on the forehead to lift the drooping eyebrows and make adjustments. The goal is to maintain the original distance between the eyes and eyebrows.

The thickness, elasticity, and fat of the eyelids vary from person to person, and the surgical method is also determined accordingly. Blepharoplasty may sometimes be performed together with ptosis correction. It is advisable to decide on the surgery after a thorough consultation about the condition of the eyes.

Meanwhile, if a double eyelid suddenly appears where there was none before, aging and dieting could be causes. As one ages naturally, the skin around the eyes loosens, creating a fold. Repeated skin folding can lead to the formation of a double eyelid. In relatively young individuals in their teens or twenties, extreme dieting or frequent use of double eyelid glue or tape can also cause double eyelids to form.
