Myth vs Fact

Myth 1: “Bigger eyes always make you look younger.”

Fact:Studies show that eye shape and eyelid exposure influence youth perception, but overall facial proportion and symmetry play an equal role.A 2012 study in Vision Research found that the size of the visible iris and eyelid crease affects perceived youthfulness, but only when balanced with facial harmony.

Myth 2: “Double Eyelid Surgery creates unnatural results.”

Fact:Modern Double Eyelid Surgery in Korea focuses on creating a soft, natural crease that fits each person’s eye structure and ethnicity.Non-incisional techniques minimize downtime and preserve natural blinking and expressions.

Myth 3: “Eye surgery is purely cosmetic.”

Fact:In some cases, double eyelid or ptosis correction improves vision clarity and eyelid function, blending aesthetic and functional benefits.

The Science of Youth Perception

Psychological studies have shown that larger eyes, smoother skin, and rounder facial features are associated with youth in human cognition.However, balance matters more than size alone—overly enlarged eyes or deep creases can actually disrupt harmony and appear artificial.
