Sleek Eyes

1. Ocular Length Aesthetically pleasing eyes are characterized by a slender, elongated shape that fits proportionately with the overall facial structure. This length enhances the face's dimension and natural allure.
2. Lateral Canthal Tilt The outer corner of the eye should sweep slightly upward, ideally at an angle of about 10 degrees relative to the horizontal plane. This lift is the defining feature of the "sleek" eye, imparting a bright and youthful look. Conversely, a downward slant creates a "droopy" appearance, often making the face look sorrowful or aged.

Beyond the general shape, determining the thickness of the eyelid crease is a critical component. We emphasize the following principles:

• The importance of proportion: The ideal crease height is not determined by a fixed number, such as 6 or 7 millimeters. Instead, it relies on a specific ratio balanced against the width and length of the individual's eye. Relying on arbitrary measurements without considering unique facial anatomy can lead to unnatural results.
• Assessment method: Finding the right proportion requires looking at the holistic picture. We simulate the outcome for the patient—often using a tool to create a temporary fold—to identify the crease height that blends most seamlessly and beautifully with their specific features.
