"What Steps Should I Take Regarding Having One Single and One Double Eyelid?"
Many people are unsure how to address having one single-lidded eye and one double-lidded eye, a common scenario that can be altered through the use of double eyelid stickers or surgery. Applying double eyelid stickers is a temporary solution that may also pose risks. For a permanent outcome, we recommend opting for incision double eyelid surgery or buried suture double eyelid surgery to achieve symmetry with the opposite eyelid.
Common Types of Double Eyelids
The various types of double eyelids are categorized as parallel, fan-shaped, crescent, and Western. The appearance of double eyelids varies among individuals in terms of width, depth, and length, primarily classified based on the shape of the fold. Here are the details:
- Parallel Type: Aligns roughly parallel to the upper eyelid margin, suitable for individuals with wider set eyes and larger eyeballs.
- Fan-shaped Type: Features an inner narrow and outer wide design, with the eye's horizontal axis forming an angle with the ground, resembling a "peach blossom" eye shape. This type is popular among women with medium eyebrow-eye spacing and slightly upturned eye corners.
- Crescent Type: Characterized by a fold line closer to the inner canthus, wider in the middle, and narrowing towards the outer canthus, creating an inner-wide-outer-narrow shape.
- Western Type: A combination of parallel and fan-shaped, featuring an inner wide and outer narrow design. This type requires a prominent brow bone and may not be ideal for Asian women.
When selecting a double eyelid type, a designer should consider the individual's specific circumstances, face shape, natural eye shape, and eyebrow shape. Additionally, personal traits and occupation should be factored in to create double eyelids that harmonize with one's personality and psychological needs.
