Introduction

In general, eyes can appear larger through makeup techniques, adjusting sleep patterns, double eyelid surgery, epicanthoplasty, or lower blepharoplasty. It is recommended to undergo such procedures under the guidance of a qualified medical professional to ensure safety and proper standards. Additionally, maintaining good daily habits, keeping the eyes clean, ensuring adequate rest, and avoiding prolonged熬夜 and excessive eye strain are important for eye health.

In general, the eyes can appear larger through makeup techniques, adjusting sleep habits, double eyelid surgery, epicanthoplasty (inner corner eye opening), and lower eyelid repositioning surgery. It is recommended to perform these procedures under the guidance of a qualified medical professional to ensure safety and proper standards. Specific details are as follows:

1. Makeup Techniques

Using cosmetics such as eyeliner, mascara, and eyeshadow, one can make the eyes appear larger and more vibrant by drawing eyeliner, applying false lashes, or highlighting the area beneath the eyes.

2. Adjusting Sleep Habits

Maintaining sufficient sleep and avoiding late nights and excessive eye strain can reduce eye puffiness and dark circles, making the eyes appear larger and more alert.

3. Double Eyelid Surgery

This procedure involves making an incision in the upper eyelid to remove excess skin or fat tissue, followed by suturing to create a double eyelid fold, thereby increasing the vertical size of the eyes. The typical reference cost for double eyelid surgery ranges from 8,000 to 15,000 yuan per session. Noticeable improvements usually appear within 1–2 months, although potential side effects may include infection, bleeding, or scar hypertrophy.

4. Epicanthoplasty (Opening the Eye Corners)

This surgical procedure corrects and enlarges the inner or outer corners of the eyes to increase the horizontal length of the eye. The typical reference cost is between 6,000 and 9,000 yuan per session. Improvements are generally visible within 1–2 weeks, but possible adverse reactions include infection, bleeding, or asymmetrical eye corners.

5. Lower Eyelid Repositioning Surgery

This surgery adjusts the position of the lower eyelid downward to expose more of the lower edge of the cornea, creating a visually larger eye appearance. The typical reference cost ranges from 3,000 to 10,000 yuan per session. Results usually become apparent within 1–3 weeks, though risks may include infection and bleeding.

Maintaining healthy lifestyle habits, keeping the eyes clean, ensuring adequate rest, and avoiding prolonged熬夜 and overuse of the eyes are beneficial for maintaining overall eye health.

Is Sjögren's syndrome a death sentence?

Most patients experience a slow disease progression, presenting only with localized glandular symptoms such as dry mouth and dry eyes. With standardized interventions and long-term management, symptoms can be effectively controlled, disease progression delayed, and normal life expectancy and quality of life preserved. A minority of patients may develop internal organ involvement or severe systemic complications. However, early detection, precise treatment, and regular monitoring can effectively control disease progression.
