[Pupil Cosmetic Surgery Eye Ring] Worried about Sanbaek-an or Sabaek-an?

Worried about Sanbaek-an or Sabaek-an? Pupil cosmetic surgery, Eye Ring surgery!

Hello. This is Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic😊

You've probably heard terms like ‘sanbaek-an’ and ‘sabaek-an’ a lot.

What do ‘sanbaek-an’ and ‘sabaek-an’ mean?

What is Sanbaek-an?

Sanbaek-an is not strictly a medical term.

Literally, in Chinese characters, sanbaek = 三白 = three whites.

This refers to the condition where the whites of the eyes are visible in three parts of the eye.

Then, sabaek-an would mean a eye shape where the whites are visible in all four places.

In cases of sabaek-an and sanbaek-an, it usually occurs when the pupil is smaller than average, or when the eye itself is larger than the pupil.

While many cases are congenital,

recently, many cases are acquired.

Reasons for acquired Sanbaek-an and Sabaek-an

The first reason for acquired sanbaek-an is aging.

This is a case where it naturally occurs as the eyelids droop downwards due to aging.

The second reason is side effects from cosmetic surgery.

These are side effects from lateral canthoplasty, epicanthoplasty, and double eyelid surgery performed for eye shape correction.

Finally, a pathological reason is hyperthyroidism.

This is a case where the eyeball protrudes due to an abnormality in the thyroid, causing a change in the eye shape.

(In cases of illness, an examination after visiting the clinic is absolutely necessary.)

Sanbaek-an and sabaek-an caused by these reasons have long been perceived as unfavorable in physiognomy and are often depicted as scary characters, so many people seem to be stressed by them.

How to correct Sanbaek-an and Sabaek-an?

The method many people choose for sanbaek-an correction is circle lenses.

Generally, circle lenses have the advantage of good accessibility, but when worn for a long time, oxygen supply to the cornea is not smooth, increasing the likelihood of various eye diseases.

Also, if new blood vessels grow and penetrate into the area called the iris, a phenomenon may occur where the iris appears smaller.

Eye Ring surgery, like wearing circle lenses for life

Eye Ring surgery is a cosmetic procedure that involves inserting a circular ring into the subconjunctival space around the cornea to enlarge the size of the pupil.

The silicone used in the surgery is medical implant grade, harmless to the human body, and the principle is similar to putting a ring around the eye, just as you would put a ring on your finger.

Since an ocular implant approved by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety is used, the surgery can be performed safely. If cosmetic issues such as color or thickness arise, the Eye Ring can be safely removed or replaced at any time after the surgery.

Our Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic prioritizes safety and transparency by performing surgery tailored to each individual's eyes through accurate examination and consultation, so please visit us with confidence at any time😊

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Sanbaek-an and Sabaek-an?

Sanbaek-an refers to a condition where the white part of the eye is visible in three areas, while Sabaek-an describes an eye shape where the whites are visible in all four areas. This often occurs when the pupil is smaller than average or the eye itself is larger relative to the pupil.

Why do Sanbaek-an and Sabaek-an occur?

Sanbaek-an and Sabaek-an can be congenital, but they can also occur later in life due to aging-related eyelid sagging, side effects of cosmetic surgeries such as lateral canthoplasty, epicanthoplasty, or double eyelid surgery, and diseases like hyperthyroidism. In cases of disease, an examination is absolutely necessary.

Are circle lenses a good method for correcting Sanbaek-an?

No, it is not a good long-term method. While circle lenses are easily accessible, prolonged wear can hinder oxygen supply to the cornea, increasing the likelihood of various eye diseases. Additionally, neovascularization can occur, making the black pupil appear even smaller.

What kind of surgery is I-Ring surgery?

I-Ring surgery is a cosmetic procedure that involves inserting a circular ring into the subconjunctival space around the cornea to enlarge the appearance of the pupil. Similar to wearing a ring on a finger, it helps the pupil appear larger and more defined.

Is I-Ring surgery safe?

Yes, the surgery can be performed safely. The silicone used in the surgery is medical-grade for implantation and is harmless to the human body, using FDA-approved ocular implants. Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic prioritizes safety through precise examinations and consultations.

Can the I-Ring be removed or replaced after surgery?

Yes, it can. If cosmetic issues such as color or thickness arise, the I-Ring can be safely removed or replaced at any time after the surgery. This is an advantage that increases patient satisfaction and prepares for any potential discomfort.
