In the pursuit of beauty, many people consider double eyelid surgery or stitching to enhance the appearance of their eyes. However, not everyone is suited for these procedures. While these surgeries can address many issues related to double eyelids, there are certain specific situations where these two methods alone may not achieve the desired results.
Firstly, if someone previously had double eyelids but suddenly develops multiple eyelids or triple eyelids, this may be due to skin laxity. For example, the relaxation of the skin around the eyes can affect the original double eyelid structure, making it appear unnatural. Additionally, insufficient muscle strength in the eye area can lead to problems such as multiple eyelids. In such cases, relying solely on double eyelid surgery will not provide a comprehensive solution; it is essential to investigate and improve the underlying causes, such as through tissue cleanup and muscle strengthening, or by considering various non-invasive techniques for improvement.
Moreover, swollen eyes are also a common issue. Double eyelid surgery primarily addresses skin problems, but if the fat tissue inside the eye socket is not handled properly, it may result in an unnatural surgical effect. Particularly for individuals with thicker skin at the outer corners of the eyes or those prone to water retention, it is important to have a thorough discussion with the doctor about potential risks before undergoing surgery.
For individuals with hollow eye sockets, both double eyelid surgery and stitching may fail to achieve the expected results. Such cases require addressing the underlying causes of the hollowness. For instance, issues related to insufficient fat can be remedied through fat grafting, while adjustments to bone structure may require more specialized surgical interventions. Additionally, if hollowness has resulted in scarring and adhesions, these issues need to be carefully managed in order to create a fuller appearance of the eye socket.
The distance between the eyebrows and the eyes is also a factor that should not be overlooked. If the double eyelids are too high relative to the height of the eyebrows, it can create an overall uncoordinated appearance. In such cases, eyebrow lifting surgery may be considered to achieve a more suitable proportion.
It is worth mentioning that for those who wish to achieve the effect of double eyelids, sometimes using double eyelid tape or glue can yield satisfactory results. However, long-term reliance on these products may lead to skin laxity. If the skin laxity is not severe, opting for stitching double eyelids can produce good outcomes, whereas individuals with noticeable skin laxity may need to consider double eyelid surgery to address the issue.
Similarly, in cases of eye asymmetry, such as having one single and one double eyelid, surgical adjustments can be made to the eyelid height to achieve balance. Doctors will assess the thickness and laxity of the eyelids to determine the most suitable surgical plan.
Whether opting for double eyelid surgery or stitching, there are specific requirements and risks involved, making the selection of the appropriate surgical method crucial.
