1. Drooping eyelids

As we age or as the body changes, the upper eyelid skin starts to sag, making it look as if the eyes are closing. This makes the face look older than it really is and may affect vision if the drooping eyelid skin blocks part of your field of view.

2. Hidden double eyelid crease

Sometimes double eyelid surgery can result in a crease that isn’t clearly defined or that hides away, making it look as if there’s no crease at all. This makes the result look unnatural, or can sometimes make you feel self-conscious when you look in the mirror.

3. Single eyelids (monolids)

People with single eyelids often feel worried about their look, because single eyelids can make the eyes look small and less striking than double eyelids. Double eyelid surgery can help the eyes look bigger and brighter.

4. Eyes that won’t open fully

Some people may find that their eyes don’t feel fully open, or can’t open completely. This may be because the eye muscles aren’t strong enough, which in some cases requires treatment or surgery.

5. Weak eyelid muscles (ptosis)

Weak eyelid muscles can make the eyes look sad and the face look tired even when you’ve had enough rest. They can also make it hard to open your eyes or difficult to open them fully.

6. Closed inner corners lacking dimension

Closed inner eye corners lacking dimension may be caused by the inner corners not opening wide enough, making the face look less bright and flat. Eye surgery can help the inner corners look more open, adding brightness and giving the eyes more dimension.

7. Downturned outer corners

Downturned outer corners can make the eyes look dull and the whole face look gloomy. Lifting the outer corners surgically can help add brightness and give the eyes a naturally lifted look.

8. Multiple overlapping eyelid creases

Some people may have several overlapping creases, which makes a double eyelid result look unattractive. If there are too many creases, a revision may be needed so the eyes look balanced and natural.

9. Excess eyelid skin

Too much eyelid skin can make the eyes look closed or heavy, causing eye discomfort and making the face look older than it really is. In some cases surgery may be needed to remove the excess eyelid skin so the eyes look brighter and no longer feel heavy.

All of the eye problems mentioned here can be corrected with the right surgical technique, especially by consulting an experienced specialist to choose the method that suits you best. Don’t let these eye problems bother you any longer, because correcting them doesn’t just make you look better.

What Is Eye Surgery?

Eye surgery is surgery to improve the eye area, whether that’s double eyelid surgery, lifting the outer corners of the eyes, or correcting other eye problems such as dull-looking eyes, downturned outer corners or sagging eyelids. Eye surgery helps the eyes look brighter and the face look more balanced. The technique is chosen to suit each person’s problem for natural, beautiful results.

 

How Many Eye Surgery Techniques Are There?

Eye surgery isn’t limited to double eyelids! There are many techniques to choose from to solve various problems or enhance the beauty of your eyes, and each technique suits different problems. Whether it’s lifting the outer corners, making the eyes look bigger, or correcting sagging eyelids, every technique can help your eyes look brighter and better. Let’s look at what each technique involves and which one suits you best.

 

Double eyelid surgery: short incision technique 

This technique is one of the earliest methods of double eyelid surgery. The surgeon makes a small incision of about 1-2 centimetres in the upper eyelid skin, then uses a small laser to remove the excess skin while cauterising to stop bleeding at the same time, and then neatly stitches the incision closed. The advantages of this method are a small scar that is easy to hide and fast recovery. It suits people who want soft, sweet double eyelids.

 

Double eyelid surgery: long incision technique 

The long incision double eyelid technique is similar to the short incision technique, but the incision along the eyelid is longer, about 2-3 centimetres, before a laser is used to remove the excess skin and the incision is stitched neatly. The strength of this method is that it can create double eyelids that look more natural and more defined than the short incision. The limitations are slower recovery and a scar that may be clearly visible. It suits people who want big, round, sharply defined eyes with a Western-style look.

 

Double eyelid surgery: 3-point stitch technique 

The 3-point stitch technique stitches the eyelid skin at 3 points: the outer corner, the middle of the eyelid and the inner corner, without removing any skin. The advantages are no obvious scar, fast recovery and natural-looking results. The limitation is that the results may not be permanent, because the threads may loosen or come undone in the future. This method suits people who want sweet, natural-looking double eyelids and big, round eyes.

 

Weak eyelid muscle (ptosis) correction surgery

Surgery to correct weak eyelid muscles improves how the eye muscles work, so you can open your eyes better. It helps correct eyes that don’t open fully or look tired. The operation focuses on strengthening the eye muscles.

 

Inner and outer eye corner opening surgery

This technique helps open the eyes so they look bigger and brighter by reshaping the inner and outer corners for better balance, giving the eyes dimension so they don’t look closed and making the face look fresh and lively.

 

Under-eye fat bag removal surgery

Under-eye fat bag surgery helps reduce puffiness and under-eye bags that make the eyes look dull or older. This method helps the under-eye area look smoother and brighter by removing excess fat that has accumulated there.

 

Fat removal surgery

This technique suits people with fat accumulated in various areas of the face. Fat removal helps the face look slimmer and reduces puffiness in areas that may make the face look unbalanced.

 

Fat repositioning surgery

Fat repositioning surgery takes fat from one part of the area around the eyes and moves it to a new position to fill areas lacking volume, such as under the eyes or the cheekbones, making the face look smoother and more defined.

 

Foxy Eyes Originals ™ surgery

The Foxy Eyes technique lifts the outer corners of the eyes into an upward slant and opens the eyes so they look bigger, similar to creating a fox-eye look, which is popular for making the eyes look sexier and more striking.

 

Black Swan Surgery ™

Black Swan Surgery™ is a technique designed to create a lifted eye look while adding definition and balance to the face. It is often used to lift the outer corners and reshape the eyes for an elegant look.

 

However, the choice of surgical technique depends on an assessment by a specialist ophthalmologist, to achieve the most suitable and safest results for each person’s problem.
