As summer vacation approaches, interest and inquiries from students about plastic surgery are increasing. In particular, double eyelid surgery is highly preferred regardless of age group. This is because even small differences in the eyes can result in large image changes depending on the size or height of the double eyelids, changes in the double eyelid line, etc. Also, because it recovers relatively quickly, it is suitable for having sufficient recovery time during the vacation period.Double eyelid surgery, which is the most popular plastic surgery and has maintained a steady demand as a cosmetic surgery during vacation, is largely divided into non-incision and incision methods.
The non-incision method is called by various names such as natural adhesion and buried-suture method depending on the surgical method. It is a method of creating a fine groove in the eyelid and fixing it with sutures to induce natural adhesion. This surgery is suitable for those with thin eyelids and little fat. There is less swelling or scarring after the surgery and the recovery speed is fast.
On the other hand, the incision method involves making an incision in the eyelid to remove unnecessary fat and then forming a line, making it suitable for people with thick eyelids or a lot of fat. Because it involves an incision, the recovery period may feel longer than with the non-incision method, but it has the advantage of creating clearer, clearer lines.
Although eye plastic surgery, including double eyelid surgery, is popular and is receiving attention as a convenient plastic surgery option during vacation, it should be noted that the appropriate method may vary depending on each person's eye condition or natural eye shape. In particular, neither the non-incision method nor the incision method is necessarily better, and it is most important to tailor the surgical method according to the individual's eye size and shape, amount of eyelid fat, desired image, etc.
In addition, there are many concerns about inflammation or side effects due to the hot and humid weather during the summer, but if you pay enough attention to post-surgery care, summer vacation can be a good time to get enough rest. It is necessary to decide on the surgical method that is right for you through careful consultation with the medical staff and consider the time and environment required for recovery.
Director Kang Hyungjoo of JAYJUN Plastic Surgery emphasized, "For most students, plastic surgery is their first surgery during vacation. Recommendations from people around you or information on the Internet are useful, but a more careful approach is needed when it comes to design and surgical method. Careful design decisions tailored to the individual and accurate diagnosis determine satisfaction with the surgical results."
