Uneven eye correction to improve image, important to have a systematic surgery plan

 

Everyone has different eye shape and size, however there are some with uneven eyes which left and right are not balanced and asymmetric. Accordingly, people concerned with difference of eye size and shape considers to undergo uneven eye correction procedure.

 

Uneven eye correction is evening out the symmetry of both eyes by combining ptosis correction, double eyelid surgery and canthoplasty, and usually done to patients with difference in their opening power of the eye or double eyelid is present in only one eye. Rather than matching the ratio and size of one eye, it is important to evenly match both side of the eyes.

 

First, ptosis correction is reducing the length of muscle that opens the eye. There are incisional method and non-incisional method, but recently non-incisional method is preferred as it produce less scarring yet natural and also has faster recovery period.

 

Double eyelid surgery that is conducted together, is a surgery that results line on the eyelid, and this too has incisional method and non-incisional method. Canthoplasty is a surgery that increases the upper/lower and inner/outer length of the eyes, which gives balance to uneven eyes, and also helps in giving a wider and fresher looking eyes.

 

Conducting uneven eye correction in conjunction with canthoplasty not only corrects uneven eyes, but also improves overall image. This procedure is suitable for people with short horizontal eye length, outer corner of the eyes that is elevated, and wanting to have a fresher looking eyes.

 

Each individual has different degree of asymmetry and causes, therefore determining the cause should be prioritized. Also sufficient consultation with healthcare providers on the condition of the present eyes and desired eyes should be done.

 

Not only that, patient’s skin condition, muscle formation, eye shape, and degree of scarring should be examined first, and consider the whole harmony of the face and eye shape that matches the patient, and conduct the surgery afterwards.

 

Therefore, uneven eye correction requires a detailed and systematic surgery plan however, if patients choose hospitals through internet advertisements and reviews, surgery may give an unnatural result that does not match the harmony of the face and may have an unwanted side effect. 

 

Because each individual has different eye shape and size on both eyes, ptosis correction is a detailed complex surgery. When only double eyelid surgery is conducted, result may be weak, therefore planning for a surgery that improves the main cause should be prioritized.

 

Therefore, planning a surgery with experienced and knowledgeable plastic surgeon that can give a personalized surgery to the patient will minimize side effects and give a high satisfaction to the surgery result.
