Eye Contour and Gaze Planning

The correct assessment guide for tired, harsh, or shadowed gazes.

Main ideas in this chapter

  • Complaints about the eye area do not originate from a single region.
  • In gaze planning, the skin, facial expressions, mid-face support, and eyebrow relationship are read together.
  • The best result is to look rested, not surprised or dull.

Why is the eye area a special area?

Because it is one of the thinnest-skinned, most mobile, and most expressive areas of the face. Therefore, even small touches can make a big difference; wrong plans also stand out just as quickly.

Under-eye shadows, crow's feet, drooping eyebrows, upper eyelid fatigue, and mid-face support are not independent of each other.

How is the correct gaze plan established?

Even if the patient only points to the under-eye area, the physician reads the gaze as a whole. In some cases, it may be more appropriate to support the mid-face instead of filling the under-eye area, and in some cases, to prioritize skin quality.

Botox can also be evaluated here not only to erase lines but also to balance the harshness in the gaze or unnecessary muscle pressure.

  • Under-eye support
  • Expression lines
  • Eyebrow-eye relationship
  • Skin quality and fine tissue management

Natural gaze:A good result is for the person to look more rested; but for the character of the gaze not to be lost.

Decision filter for the patient

It is especially important not to make hasty decisions in the eye area. Because this area is sensitive both aesthetically and in terms of safety.

Experienced physician evaluation can be even more decisive here than product selection.
