The examinee must have 1:1 customized surgery after sufficient consultation with an eye surgery or plastic surgeon

As the 2026 University Math Proficiency Test has been completed, students from all over the country are preparing for a new start without being burdened for a long time.

In particular, there is a noticeable increase in the number of people looking for plastic surgeons to solve long-standing concerns. After the end of the training, it is a relatively relaxed period, and it is easy to secure a recovery period using winter vacation, making it the best season for plastic surgery for the first time in life.

Among them, double eyelid surgery, which greatly changes the impression of a face, is relatively low in burden and has a large range of changes, and has become the most popular surgery among test takers. If you are planning an examinee's eye surgery, such as double eyelid surgery after SAT, you should perform 1:1 customized surgery that takes into account individual facial harmony rather than excessive changes. Appropriate methods and designs for eye surgery vary greatly depending on the individual's eye structure, features, and face shape. Since eyelid thickness and fat mass, eye opening muscle strength, and skin elasticity vary widely from person to person, it is important to proceed with an appropriate solution based on an accurate diagnosis from an experienced and skilled plastic surgeon.

Also, avoid places that simply present one-sided surgical methods and designs during consultations. It is recommended to perform surgery in a place that accurately diagnoses the anatomical elements of the eye and designs a customized surgical method and design according to eye condition and structure, and it is necessary to confirm that individual needs are fully reflected. Even with the same line design, the angle and depth of the line vary depending on the ratio of the face and the structure around the eyes, so it's a good idea to check if the doctor can make detailed adjustments to this.

One way to create a natural double eyelid line without removing surgical teeth is the double eyelid burial method (natural adhesion). This is a method of removing eyelid fat and muscle by making several small holes in the eyelids, and connecting and fixing the skin muscles with the inner muscles. There is almost no need to worry about scarring, and there is little swelling, so you can recover quickly. It is an appropriate method for when eyelid skin is thin or sagging is small, and the double eyelid line and surgical method that suits the individual can be applied. The shape of the double eyelids can be selected as in-line, outline, or in-outline according to the shape of the eyes. Inline is a common Asian double eyelid shape, and can create natural eyes without tearing. The outline forms clear and colorful lines, giving an image that is both Western and elegant. In-outline is an intermediate form between inline and outline, and is considered the most suitable shape for Korean eyes. You can create natural, cool, and clear eyes.

However, even if a specific line is preferred, the appropriate design may vary depending on the individual's eyes. More harmonious results can be achieved by fine-tuning the line design according to eye and eyelid skin thickness, and amount of fat.

Hong Su-sung, CEO of Dress Plastic Surgery, said, “When SAT is over, the demand for plastic surgery consultations increases significantly due to the double eyelid surgery craze during the vacation period,” and advised, “Since SAT is a time to prepare for a new beginning beyond simply changing appearance, it is helpful to perform surgery where a plastic surgeon is responsible for the entire process from consultation to design, surgery, and post-operative management rather than simply a low price or event.”
