Our Approach Is Not to Create Artificially High Folds.
Intentionally creating a high and prominent double eyelid fold does not align with our surgical philosophy.
A double eyelid does not make the eyes larger simply because it is higher.
In fact, lowering an excessively high crease is often far more difficult than creating it in the first place.
This is why restraint at the initial decision stage matters.
Crease Height Should Match the Eye—Not a Trend.
While the double eyelid line should reflect a patient’s preferences, it must first be appropriate for the individual eye.
Eye size, globe position, eyelid thickness, and eye-opening strength all determine how much crease height the eye can realistically support.
Designing a crease without respecting these factors often leads to instability over time.
When Preference Overrides Function.
Requesting a large, celebrity-like crease in the presence of weak eye-opening function creates long-term problems.
When the eye-opening muscle cannot adequately support the chosen crease height, compensatory forces emerge.
Over time, this can result in thickened folds, heaviness, asymmetry, and ultimately the need for revision surgery.
These outcomes are not failures of technique.
They are failures of judgment.
Double Eyelid Surgery Is Not a Trend.
A double eyelid crease is not a fashion item.
Although aesthetic preferences may change with time, anatomy does not.
Sex, age, eye structure, eye-opening function, and overall facial balance must be considered together.
Ignoring these fundamentals in favor of temporary trends often leads to results that do not age well.
Our Goal.
At Ahnsungmin Plastic Surgery, our goal is not to follow trends or exaggerate features.
We aim to create eyelids that open naturally, remain stable over time, and harmonize with the face as a whole.
