Many Korean words carry various meanings depending on the context. The meaning changes based on the noun or object it modifies, allowing us to infer the intended sense of the same verb or adjective from the surrounding text. Similarly, the dictionary definition of ‘beautiful’ is used in diverse ways. It can be applied to a beautiful landscape, a beautiful building, or a person's beautiful appearance, carrying multiple connotations. If we apply the word ‘beautiful’ to ourselves, I believe it can be used for cosmetic purposes. The true purpose of beauty seems to be ‘to make myself beautiful.’ Plastic surgery can be considered the clearest method to achieve this, offering hope for significant changes in one's appearance and delivering precise results.

If there's a slight imperfection in the inherent beauty of one's facial features, where would it be? Many people immediately point to the eyes or nose. This is likely because even small changes can lead to significant improvements in overall image. Today, let's take some time to explore the different types of out-fold double eyelid surgery.

In-out line, semi-out line, and out-fold double eyelid surgery are always discussed as types of double eyelid surgery. Each method has unique characteristics and is suitable for individuals with specific surgical needs. Each method sets different heights and shapes for the double eyelid crease to induce changes in the eye shape.

1. In-Out Line

The in-out line starts with the front part of the double eyelid crease subtly hidden, gradually widening and becoming more visible towards the outer corner. This method is suitable for patients who desire a natural-looking double eyelid. Since the crease at the inner corner of the eye is subtly formed, it is more suitable for individuals with slightly thicker eyelids or an existing inner double eyelid, rather than those with naturally defined eyes.

‘One real-life case where an in-out line was applied involved a woman in her mid-20s who considered surgery because her makeup often smudged due to her inner double eyelids. She wanted a natural yet defined look rather than an overly dramatic change. After in-out line surgery, the inner corner started thin, giving a natural feel, while the outer part gradually widened to create a clear eye shape. As a result, the patient experienced significantly improved makeup longevity and a much more defined eye line, achieving satisfactory results.’

Advantages: Forms a natural and soft double eyelid crease, complements makeup well.
Disadvantages: Eye shape change may not be dramatic, leading to a perception of less effect.
Applicable cases: Individuals with inner double eyelids, those desiring a natural change.
2. Semi-Out Line

The semi-out line is a form where the outer crease is more distinctly visible than an in-out line, but not as fully exposed as a complete out-fold line. The front part of the double eyelid is slightly covered, and the crease becomes prominent from the middle. It is favored by many as it offers a natural yet emphasized eye shape.

‘A successful case of semi-out line involved a man in his early 30s who wanted to improve his sleepy-looking eyes. Due to the nature of his profession, he frequently interacted with people and desired a clear and trustworthy eye appearance. Through semi-out line surgery, the front part was designed to start subtly covered, while the crease became distinct from the middle. After the surgery, his eyes became more defined, and his sleepy impression improved, giving the patient more confidence in his social interactions.’

Advantages: Can emphasize the eye shape naturally yet clearly.
Disadvantages: In some cases, the impression may not be soft.
Indications: Desiring to improve sleepy-looking eyes, or wanting a moderate change.
3. Out Line

The out-fold line is a form where the double eyelid crease is clearly visible from the front of the eye, similar to Western double eyelids, with the crease prominent across the entire eye. It is suitable for individuals with thin eyelids or those without sagging skin, and it is a popular choice for those who desire a glamorous and defined eye shape.

‘In one case, a woman in her early 20s chose out-fold line surgery because she desired a bold image transformation. The patient had thin eyelids and almost no existing double eyelid, which allowed for maximum change in her eye shape. After out-fold line surgery, the patient achieved a clear and striking impression and was able to express her individuality better through a change in style.’

Advantages: Can create a clear and glamorous eye shape.
Disadvantages: May look unnatural if the eyelids are thick.
Indications: Thin eyelids, desiring a strong impression, or wanting to maximize makeup effects.

We've discussed out-fold double eyelid surgery based on actual cases. The choice between in-out line, semi-out line, and out-fold line should be determined based on the patient's eye shape, skin condition, and desired image. Since each type of eye surgery has distinct advantages and disadvantages, it is crucial to consult thoroughly with a specialist to select the appropriate method. Furthermore, optimizing results through post-operative recovery and aftercare is also an important factor for successful surgery.
