- July 18, 2019

Most people’s faces and eyes are asymmetrical. There are often differences in the size and shape of the two eyes, which are called asymmetric eyes.

And if you have asymmetric eyes, you can break the overall balance of the face, so it must be fix with right method.

If the double eyelid is naturally located only in one eye, or if the thickness of the double eyelid line is different, it can be improved by adjusting the symmetry through Incisional double eyelid surgery. Sometimes patient request one eyelid surgery due to the other side is satisfied. One eyelid surgery required high experienced skills to have both eyed balanced, so it is very important to have a surgery from an experienced surgeon.

If you use eyelashes or double-layer tapes for a long period of time, your eyes may become sagging. Another reason of asymmetric eyes are different power of eye elevator muscle. In those cases, it is recommended to adjust the force of both eyelid elevator muscles through a surgery called ‘Ptosis correction’ to have balanced eyes.

If you have double eyelid surgery but one line become loose, then you can correct it by revision surgery. Revision surgery should be performed after the injured tissue has recovered. For this reason, it is desirable to determine the method and timing of the reoperations after sufficient consultation with the specialist.

In Wonjin Plastic Surgery, “the cause of the double eyelid varies, and the surgical procedure varies depending on the cause. The eyelid surgery or ptosis correction will be performing different ways depending on the patient condition. Therefore, we should carefully select the appropriate surgical method after carefully examining various causes such as skin type and eyelid sagging level.. etc.”

Also, “Eye plastic surgery is popular, but reoperation rate is also high. In order to reduce the risk of side effects or re-operations, it is important to know whether the hospital has abundant experience and know-how, whether it can prepare for accidents that may arise in the past, and how post-surgery care is set.”
