Achieving a Harmonious Impression with Simultaneous Eye and Nose Surgery: Surgical Process and Precautions

Natural Impression Changes Created by the Harmony of the Eyes and Nose

The eyes and nose are the most essential features that determine facial impression. Since even the slightest difference in angle or line can significantly alter your overall image, an increasing number of people are opting for combined eye and nose surgery to achieve overall facial balance.

Beyond simply making a specific feature look pretty, let's take a closer look at why a customized approach considering the harmony of facial features is important, and what you need to check for a safe surgery.

Expected Effects of Simultaneous Eye and Nose Surgery

Performing eye and nose surgeries together makes it easier to find the golden ratio of the face compared to doing them separately. This is because the depth of the eyes can be adjusted to match the height of the nose, or the sharpness of the nose can be designed to complement the size of the eyes.

• Overall Balance: A single surgery allows for a customized design that considers the correlation between the eyes and the nose.
• Shortened Recovery Period: Since the surgery and recovery process are undergone at once, it is highly time-efficient for returning to daily life.
• Consistent Design: A single skilled surgeon comprehensively designs the overall facial image, reducing any sense of awkwardness.

Step-by-Step Surgical Process and Anesthesia System

When performing simultaneous eye and nose surgery, a step-by-step anesthesia and surgical plan is established for patient safety and precise results. Generally, eyelid surgery is performed first, followed by rhinoplasty.

1. Eyelid Surgery Stage (Local/Sedation Anesthesia)

During eyelid surgery, the surgeon must finely adjust the double eyelid line while checking the shape of the patient's eyes opening and closing in real-time. Therefore, local anesthesia with light sedation is primarily used, allowing for communication or keeping the patient in a light sleep state.

2. Rhinoplasty Stage (Deep Sedation Anesthesia)

The subsequent rhinoplasty requires surgery in a more stable state, such as for implant insertion or cartilage grafting. Thus, it is safely performed under a deeper state of sedation with monitoring by a board-certified anesthesiologist.

Customized Eyelid Surgery

Various methods are applied to eyelid surgery depending on the individual's eye shape and skin thickness.

• Double Eyelid Surgery: The appropriate method is selected between the non-incisional (suture) method and the incisional method.
• Ptosis Correction: If there are symptoms of ptosis (drooping eyelids) and the muscle power to open the eyes is weak, this is performed concurrently to ensure clear pupil exposure.
• Canthoplasty: This improves the horizontal length of the eyes or a stuffy inner corner to create a refreshing and open impression.

Customized Rhinoplasty

Since the nose is responsible for the three-dimensional volume of the face, the materials and angles used are crucial. A design tailored to the individual's nasal bone structure and septal condition must be established using autologous cartilage or proven safe implants.

Medical Environment Checklist for Safe Surgery

Safety is just as important as the surgical results. Since combined eye and nose surgery involves anesthesia, you must check whether the following systems are in place.

• In-house Board-Certified Anesthesiologist: The patient's vital signs must be monitored in real-time throughout the entire surgical process.
• Emergency Safety System: Ensure that university hospital-level emergency rescue equipment and a rapid response system are prepared.
• Precision Diagnostic Equipment: The internal structure of the nose and the condition of the cartilage must be accurately assessed before surgery using 3D CT scans and other tools.
