With deep medical insight cultivated as an internal medicine specialist, I bridge aesthetic surgery, dermatology, and internal medicine. Having spent my childhood in China, I communicate fluently in Japanese, Chinese, English, and Korean. Possessing an international perspective—evidenced by invitations to present at overseas conferences—I actively promote techniques as a Key Opinion Leader (KOL) for GOURI and REJURAN®. My specialty procedures include double eyelid surgery, skin-nurturing boosters, and body hyaluronic acid treatments. My approach leverages the holistic understanding of the body cultivated through internal medicine to guide patients toward natural, healthy beauty.

Hello, everyone.

I am Senki Akashi, also known as Hime-sensei, of BIANCA CLINIC.

 

Do you ever feel like your eyes look small? Or that even double eyelid surgery doesn't change your appearance?

The reason eyes appear small isn't just due to the shape of the eyelids or the width of the double eyelid crease; it's related to the structure of the eye itself, including bone structure, muscles, and fat distribution.

This time, from an anatomical perspective, "Why do eyes appear small?" andApproaches to make things appear larger naturallyWe will explain.

 

 

The reason eyes appear small lies in the structure of the eye socket.

First, I want you to focus on the space that surrounds the eye, known as the “orbital cavity.”

The eye socket is the bony cavity behind the eye. It houses the eyeball, fat, and muscles.

For those who originally had a small space,There are limits to how much you can widen your eyes (both vertically and horizontally).There is one.

Therefore, when considering surgery, it is important to have a simulation done beforehand to determine "how large it can be made."

 

 

Balancing Vertical and Horizontal Dimensions for Those with Smaller Eyes

To dramatically change the impression of your eyes,Both vertical and horizontal approachesThat's the key point.

 

Vertical expansion surgery

  • Double Eyelid Surgery (Suture Method / Incision Method)Supports eye opening and defines the eyelid line.

  • Ptosis SurgeryStrengthen the function of the muscles that lift the eyelids to increase the exposure of the iris.

  • Glamorous Line FormationLower the under-eye line and naturally widen the vertical dimension.

 

Lateral expansion surgery

  • craniotomyAn incision is made on the inner side of the eye to widen the eye width. The distance between the eyes narrows, making the eye area appear more defined.

  • incision at the outer corner of the eye:Widen outward to emphasize the eye's width. For a soft, large impression.

 

Since fat and muscle also exist beneath the skin,Simply cutting the skin alone will not produce sufficient results.

It's important to carefully process while considering the balance of the skeleton and tissues.

 

 

For those with small eyes, the balance between the double eyelid width and the eye width is also important.

For those with narrow eye width (the distance from the inner corner to the outer corner of the eye),If you make the double eyelid crease too wide, it tends to look unnatural.There is a tendency.

By setting the optimal double eyelid width while considering the shape of the eyes and their balance with the entire face, a natural and attractive impression can be achieved.

At Bianca Clinic's counseling sessions,Eye opening method, bone structure, and double eyelid line curveWe will carefully review these and other details to determine the optimal design.

 

 

For those concerned about surgery ― Simulation via injection is also possible

For those who feel "cutting is scary" or "want to try a change first,"Trying out a simulation with Botox injectionsis also an option.

The kind of change you get from procedures like epicanthoplasty or glamorous line formation,Temporarily reproducedcan do.

Compared to surgery, the downtime is shorter, and the natural changes can be seen immediately afterward, which is a major advantage.

Summary|Small Eyes Can Be Changed Through "Structure" × "Design"

Procedures to make eyes appear larger are not limited to simply "creating double eyelids" or "incision surgery."

What matters is,Design the final goal with an understanding of the relationship between the skeleton, muscles, fat, and skin.

If you're unsure which treatment is right for you, start with a consultation.

Choose the treatment that suits your eyes and achieve a natural, striking eye area.

Counseling sessions alone are also available anytime.
