The 2025 CSAT is just around the corner. With the College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT) just around the corner, expectations are growing among those who want to achieve things on their bucket list or improve their appearance after the CSAT is over.Every year, before and after the College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT), inquiries about plastic surgery increase rapidly, especially among college entrance exam takers and first-year college students. This is to use the long period of winter break to get plastic surgery and gain a more confident appearance before entering college or entering working life.
In particular, eye plastic surgery is so popular that it is often called the representative plastic surgery for students. Compared to other areas, recovery can be achieved relatively quickly, and even slight changes such as eye length or the presence of double eyelids can significantly change one's appearance. Furthermore, recent plastic surgery trends emphasize natural beauty and facial harmony, so the demand for eye plastic surgery that can subtly change appearance is expected to increase further.
There are many different types of eye plastic surgery depending on the area and surgical method. Among them, double eyelid surgery is a general term for cosmetic and therapeutic surgery to correct ptosis, etc. in cases where double eyelids are congenitally absent or only on one side.
Even for double eyelid surgery, the methods are divided into buried-suture method, incision method, and partial incision, and there are various surgical methods that can be performed in parallel, such as ptosis correction and canthoplasty, so it is a good idea to thoroughly consult with a specialist about the desired change in appearance.
Especially, if you are considering eye surgery as your first plastic surgery in life, you need to be even more cautious to achieve results that harmonize well with your facial features and image. Although eye surgery has become popular and is often perceived as simple, it is essential to apply the appropriate surgical method after fully considering the individual's conditions and characteristics.
When choosing a hospital, rather than being deceived by excessively low prices, flashy reviews, or limited-time promotions for entrance-exam takers, it is better to check whether the hospital has experienced medical staff who can find the appropriate surgical method for you and whether they provide thorough and systematic follow-up care.
Kang Hyungjoo, director of Yeoksam JAYJUN Plastic Surgery, said, “Eye plastic surgery is less burdensome and simpler than other areas, but if individual characteristics are not taken into consideration, there are concerns that it may lead to side effects or unsatisfactory appearance, leading to reoperation. Therefore, please choose a trustworthy hospital that provides thorough personalized analysis, consultation, and diagnosis, and where medical staff with extensive experience and aesthetic sense perform surgery on that basis.”
