Eye plastic surgery for students after college entrance exams: why sufficient preoperative consultation matters

Eye plastic surgery is often considered the most popular type of plastic surgery after college entrance exams. This is because improving one's image through eye or nose surgery is relatively simple and highly effective, rather than large-scale surgery such as contour surgery. In particular, eye plastic surgery for test takers can help with eye-related complexes, which were compensated for by double eyelid tape and double eyelid fluid during student days, by changing one's impression before entering wider society, and can also help improve one's appearance, which one was unable to pay attention to while concentrating on studying.

However, one must remember that eye surgery is by no means a simple or easy procedure. Since it is a widely performed surgery, one might make a decision without much thought, considering it easy, but creating the desired eyes and a suitable image requires consideration of many factors.

In order to achieve highly satisfactory eye plastic surgery results, it is necessary to look at the composition of the tissue surrounding the eye that forms the current eye shape, accurately diagnose the structure and proportions of the face, and find an appropriate surgical method. In addition to the method of creating double eyelids, such as buried-suture method, incision method, natural adhesion, or partial incision, additional surgery such as ptosis correction, canthotomy, or forehead lift, also known as eyebrow lift, may be necessary. Only by carefully considering this can you create the eye shape you want.

Therefore, if you are considering eye plastic surgery after college entrance exams, it is essential to have a thorough consultation with a specialist with extensive clinical experience and excellent aesthetic sense, rather than following a friend or being deceived by Internet advertisements.

Dr. Kang Hyungjoo (plastic surgery specialist), director of JAYJUN Plastic Surgery, advised, “If I would like to give you a tip before eye plastic surgery consultation, please look in the mirror and create virtual double eyelids on your own eyes. When you see a line you like, take a picture and bring it, or bring a picture of the eyes of a celebrity you like. It can be more helpful in understanding the patient’s needs.”
