The Difference Between Eyelid Surgery and Double Eyelid Surgery: What to Look for When Your Eyes Look Sleepy

Sleepy-looking eyes, is it just a shape issue?

 

These days, when I look in the mirror or take a selfie, Tired-looking eyes There are times when I worry.
If you have double eyelids but your eyes don't open clearly or you always look sleepy, it's more likely to be related to the strength (muscle) that opens your eyes rather than a simple line problem.

This condition is often Ptosis They say.

This is a common feature of Asian eyes, where the eyelids slightly cover the black pupils, reducing the amount of exposure.

So, you may come across as lethargic or emotionless.

 

 

 

Why Eyelid Muscles Are Important

 

If you have had double eyelid surgery but still feel that your eyes are stuffy, it is likely that the muscles that move your eyes have weakened.

 

In times like this Eye correction By strengthening the power to open your eyes through , your pupils will appear cooler and your facial expressions will become much more natural.

 

If you are someone who usually opens your eyes with your forehead, your eyebrows may be raised, your forehead may wrinkle, and your eyelids may look thick.

This is the compensatory mechanism of the muscles not being able to raise the eyes properly.

Eye correction plays a fundamental role in reducing this.

 

 

 

Incisional vs. Non-incisional Eyelid Surgery

 

Eye correction is broadly divided into incision and non-incision methods.
But this isn't something you choose based on 'fashion', it's something you decide based on the condition of your eyes.

 

Incisional double eyelid surgery

 

If your eyelids are thick or fatty

If ptosis is clearly present

Directly strengthening the muscles significantly improves eye opening power.
Pros: Adjustable line and thickness
Cons: Swelling and recovery takes some time.

 

 

Non-incision double eyelid surgery

 

If the eyelids are thin and have little fat

If you have mild sagging and want natural results

A method of supplementing muscles using thread
Advantages: Less scarring and swelling, quicker return to daily life
Cons: May not be suitable for eyes with structural sagging

Eye correction is not always necessary.

 

‼️The important thing is to see the exact cause.

When I tried using double eyelid tape or liquid
If the lines are natural and there is no discomfort
You may not necessarily need eye correction.

 

‼️On the contrary

Or if you put strength into your forehead
My eyebrows keep going up
If it's more comfortable to look down rather than straight ahead
It's most likely a muscle problem.

 

The eyes are a part where function and appearance are connected at the same time.
It’s not just “just get pretty double eyelids and you’re done”
The first priority is to check why my eyes are open like this.

 

 

To sum up

 

Sleepy-looking eyes may be caused by weak eye muscles.

If double eyelid surgery alone is not enough, eye correction surgery should also be considered.

Incision/non-incision is determined based on eyelid thickness, fat amount, and muscle condition.

The most important thing is to accurately understand the condition of your eyes!

 

If you are constantly concerned about your eyes looking stuffy or listless,

Just remember that it could be because of the way you open your eyes.
