Double eyelids have long been favored by beauty enthusiasts, as they enhance facial attractiveness and charm. Large eyes remain universally captivating. Eyelid surgery can help achieve this desired look. So, what are the advantages of eyelid surgery? Let's hear from an expert on the benefits of this procedure.
Double eyelid and canthoplasty can adjust and alter the structural layers of the upper eyelid, addressing various complex eyelid issues such as sagging upper eyelid skin, inverted eyelashes, puffy upper eyelids, orbital fat prolapse, lax orbital septum, and prominent outer upper orbital rim.The resulting double eyelid is stable and long-lasting, with deep creases and a three-dimensional appearance.The drawback lies in the procedure's complexity, requiring thorough familiarity with eyelid anatomy and a solid foundation in plastic surgery techniques. Following double eyelid and canthoplasty surgery, scarring along the incision line remains noticeable for 3-6 months but gradually fades over time. Swelling is typically observable for about a month post-surgery, though results often appear natural by 2 months or longer.
Double eyelid surgery and epicanthoplasty work because the levator aponeurosis, besides attaching to the upper edge of the tarsal plate, also has fibrous strands that pass through the orbital septum and orbicularis oculi muscle. These strands attach to the upper eyelid skin at the double eyelid crease.Thus, when the levator muscle contracts to elevate the tarsal plate during eye opening, a double eyelid crease forms at the skin fold where the levator muscle attaches.
Advantages of epicanthoplasty:
1. Thinner eyelids create a more agile, bright-eyed appearance;In contrast, monolids often appear puffy and heavy, conveying a tired or sleepy look.
2. Long, dense eyelashes that stand upright or curl upward create a beautiful, captivating appearance; monolids typically have short, sparse lashes that droop downward, resulting in a flat, lifeless look.
3. A wide, elongated palpebral fissure aligns with aesthetic proportions, whereas the narrow fissure of monolids appears unattractive.
4. Enhances an energetic, alert impression, whereas monolids often convey a lack of vitality.
3. Wider, longer palpebral fissures align with aesthetic proportions, whereas monolids have narrower, less attractive fissures.
4. Conveys an energetic, alert impression, while monolids often feature drooping upper eyelid skin, giving a listless appearance.
