Asymmetrical Eye Correction: Finding the Right Method for You

People often say that appearance is part of one's qualifications.

This doesn't refer to flashy, large eyes, a prominent nose, or upturned lips, but rather a neat, well-balanced, and bright impression that anyone would find appealing.

To cultivate an appearance that is a plus factor in employment and interpersonal relationships, people put in a lot of effort. If they have a flaw, they may plan to supplement or improve it with procedures or surgery.

One of the easiest areas to approach for creating a good impression is the eyes.

The eyes are also called ‘the windows to the soul’.

Because they can most significantly change a person's image, many people consider them the most preferred area for plastic surgery.

Since they greatly influence the overall facial image, careful consideration is necessary. Regardless of size, one must choose a shape that harmonizes with their nose, mouth, and face shape.

While different eye shapes on each side can be a charming point, they often cause stress.

Especially when asymmetrical eye correction is needed, one eye is often droopy or lacks a double eyelid, leading to an unbalanced or sleepy impression on others.

If you are considering asymmetrical eye correction to achieve a bright and clear image, it's essential to understand your current condition.

Cases requiring asymmetrical eye correction can involve differences in double eyelids or fat on each side, ptosis due to a difference in the strength of the muscles that open the eyes, or differences in eyelid sagging.

The correction method also varies depending on each symptom, individual skin thickness, and eye shape, leading to different results based on the medical team's discretion.

Even when asymmetrical eye correction is needed due to differences in double eyelids, various methods can be considered.

Broadly, incisional and non-incisional methods can be examined. Incisional methods have the advantage of creating a definite line but involve a longer recovery period and psychological burden from the incision.

While non-incisional double eyelid surgery has a relatively faster recovery, you should consider that the line might loosen, potentially requiring revision surgery.

For those who don't want an incision for asymmetrical eye correction but desire a clear line, we recommend the partial incision method.

The non-incisional method has the disadvantage that it cannot be performed if there is a lot of fat in the eyelid.

With a micro-incision of about 2-3mm, partial fat removal can naturally create a line, even without a complete incision, by removing an appropriate amount of fat.

Therefore, if fat removal is necessary but you are concerned about the line loosening with the non-incisional method, the partial incision method can be considered.

Asymmetrical eye correction is also needed when ptosis appears in one eye due to a difference in the strength of the muscles that open the eyes. Ptosis, in particular, can cover the eye, leading to vision loss or even blindness, so examination and surgery are recommended.

Furthermore, it can lead to the habit of opening the eyes with the forehead muscles instead of the eye muscles, causing forehead wrinkles.

Ptosis surgery is a method to create clear eyes by adjusting and strengthening the tension of the muscles that open the eyes and lifting the sagging eyelids.

It takes about 1 hour and is performed under local anesthesia.

Since problems such as the inability to close the eyes can occur after asymmetrical eye correction surgery, it is recommended to have it performed by a medical team with rich clinical experience.

Asymmetrical eye correction caused by differences in fat on both eyes can be resolved through fat removal from the eyelids, followed by double eyelid surgery to create clear eyes.

If the size of the eyes themselves differs, methods to improve the problem, such as eye shape correction and canthoplasty, can be explored.

Eye shape correction for asymmetrical eyes can also be divided into incisional and non-incisional methods.

If there is a lot of fat in the eyelids or severe sagging, an incisional method should be used to allow the eyes to open wider. If the amount of fat is not excessive, the eye-opening muscles can be shortened to strengthen their power and correct the eye shape.

Canthoplasty includes epicanthoplasty to remove the Mongolian fold at the inner corner of the eye, lateral canthoplasty to lengthen the horizontal dimension or improve the outer corner of the eye, and lower canthoplasty to change the lower eyelid line. When performed with double eyelid surgery, it makes the line more natural and creates the effect of larger eyes, which is why many people prefer it.

While other eye surgeries naturally require a doctor's skill, asymmetrical eye correction is a procedure that requires even more expertise because it involves harmonizing the shape of both sides.

If you choose a hospital based solely on cost, you might end up with even more asymmetrical lines instead of the desired harmony, leading to significant stress. Therefore, rather than worrying about a difference of ten or twenty, it is advisable to find a hospital with a more skilled medical team and a system that can provide excellent care.
