From a general aesthetic perspective, double eyelid surgery can usually enhance the beauty of the eyes, making them appear larger and more expressive, thereby improving overall facial appearance to some extent.

From the perspective of altering eye shape, double eyelid surgery can visually enlarge the eyes and increase their depth and three-dimensionality. For individuals with monolids or partial double eyelids and unclear eye contours, this procedure can remove excess skin and fat around the eyes, improving conditions such as droopy eyelids and puffy eyes. For example, in individuals with puffy eyes, removing an appropriate amount of fat during double eyelid surgery can make the eyes look more lively and radiant.

However, double eyelid surgery is not suitable for everyone. Each person's facial features and demeanor are different, so it is important to determine individually whether this surgery is appropriate. If the surgical design or execution is improper, it may result in unsatisfactory outcomes or complications, which could affect appearance and self-confidence.

Before deciding to undergo surgery, it is advisable to fully understand the associated risks and precautions, and to choose a reputable, professional medical facility to perform the procedure.
