How to transform fierce eyes into soft, gentle eyes, making your face look more approachable and friendly.

Many people worry about having harsh-looking eyes that make their face appear unfriendly, even with a sweet smile. Therefore, eye softening surgery is a popular solution. For those with harsh eyes, how can you make them look softer? Today, we have the answer: eye softening surgery and various techniques to help create a more gentle and appealing facial appearance. Let's explore some of these methods.

Characteristics that Make Your Eyes Look Fierce

Before we look at how to fix fierce-looking eyes, we need to understand what makes our eyes look fierce. There are many types of eye shapes that make a face look fierce, but the most common are deep-set eyes and hidden double eyelids. Let's look at the characteristics of each type.

Deep-set Eyes

Deep-set eyes are the characteristic that makes the eyes look the sharpest and fiercest. This is caused by a bone structure in the eye socket that is deeper than normal, or too little fat around the eyes, making the eyes appear sunken and creating dark shadows under the eyebrows. This results in a stern facial expression; even without intentionally expressing any emotion, it may be perceived as anger or displeasure. In addition, deep-set eyes can make the face look older than its age because the shadows make the face lack freshness.

Hidden Double Eyelids

Hidden double eyelids are another characteristic that makes the eyes look fierce because the hidden eyelid crease makes the eyes appear smaller. And there is often a dark shadow around the eyelids, making the eyes look sharp and fierce, especially when we unconsciously furrow our brows or stare at things. In addition, hooded eyelids can make makeup application more difficult because there is less area for eye makeup, making it hard to create a sweet look.

Surgical Techniquesto Make Eyes Look Sweeter

There are several surgical methods to correct a fierce-looking eye, each suitable for different problems. The doctor will consider and choose the appropriate method based on the individual's eye characteristics and needs.

Double Eyelid Surgery

Double eyelid surgery is a basic procedure that helps to soften the appearance of the eyes. The doctor will design a soft, curved eyelid crease, not too straight, to give the eyes a gentler look. In addition, the width of the eyelid crease can be adjusted to a suitable level, neither too narrow nor too wide, making the eyes appear rounder, more charming, and more natural.

Inner Corner Eye Opening

Inner corner eye opening is a technique that helps to make the eyes appear rounder and softer. It involves adjusting the area at the inner corner of the eye to create more space, reducing the sharpness and harshness of the eyes. This method is suitable for those with narrow or closely spaced inner corners of the eyes, making the eyes appear wider, brighter, and more lively. It also makes eye makeup application easier.

Pre-Surgery Preparation

Before undergoing surgery, it's important to prepare yourself for the best results. This includes stopping medications and supplements that affect blood clotting at least two weeks prior to surgery, quitting smoking and alcohol, and having a general health checkup to ensure your body is ready for the procedure. And importantly, get enough rest and avoid straining your eyes in the period before surgery to ensure your eyes are in the best possible condition.

Self-care after double eyelid surgery

Post-operative care is crucial for the outcome. Apply cold compresses to reduce swelling and bruising during the first 4 days. After that, apply warm compresses to promote faster healing. Sleep on your back with your head elevated on pillows to reduce swelling. Avoid rubbing your eyes or touching the surgical site. Clean the wound and use medication as prescribed by your doctor. Refrain from applying makeup around the eyes until the wound has completely healed.
