What Are the Features of Peach Blossom Eyes? A 10-Second Self-Test
Peach blossom eyes, commonly known as “smiling eyes,” usually give an impression of gentleness and approachability. The main features are:
1. The eye shape resembles a peach blossom petal, and is relatively long
2. The upper eyelid has a large curve, with a clear double eyelid crease
3. The inner corner is slightly pointed and curves gently downward, and the outer corner is slender and tilts slightly upward
4. When you smile, aegyo sal appear and the eyes form a crescent shape
Here are 3 simple steps to tell whether you have peach blossom eyes:
1. Eye opening angle: Less than 45 degrees
2. Outer corner height: The outer corner is higher than the inner corner
3. Eye shape ratio: Eye length is less than twice the eye height
If you match the features above, you have standard peach blossom eyes. But don't worry if you don't match them all: aesthetic medicine can help you adjust and create charming peach blossom eyes!
Creating Peach Blossom Eyes: Double Eyelids
To get a clear double eyelid, you can have incisional or suture double eyelid surgery, combined with epicanthoplasty (inner corner opening) to adjust the eye shape ratio, making the double eyelid look more distinct, the contours deeper, and the eye shape more natural:
1. Incisional double eyelid surgery
- How it works
An arc-shaped incision is made on the upper eyelid, and an appropriate amount of excess orbital fat is removed, creating the double eyelid crease
- Suitable for
Drooping skin around the eyes, sunken eye sockets, and older patients
- Downtime
About 1-2 weeks (varies from person to person)
- Advantages
Adjusts the structure of the upper eyelid tissue and keeps the double eyelid crease permanently
- Disadvantages
Long recovery period, and a thin, long scar remains
2. Suture double eyelid surgery
- How it works
The double eyelid crease is created by suturing the eyelid skin to the tarsal plate
- Suitable for
People with thin eyelids, no puffy eyelid fat, and no loose eyelid skin
- Comparison of suture double eyelid methods
| Stapler-style double eyelid | Three-point double eyelid | Figure-8 suture double eyelid | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Procedure | A special long needle and suture are used to stitch the levator muscle and the eyelid skin together at the deep tarsal plate | Non-absorbable thread is used to suture the eyelid skin to the tarsal plate with a three-point technique, keeping the three suture points a fixed distance apart | A special thread is passed back and forth through small incisions to stitch the double eyelid in a sideways figure-8 pattern |
| Downtime | About 3-5 days | About 3-5 days | About 3-5 days |
| Advantages | Natural shape | Can be redone several times | Secure and not easy to come undone |
| Disadvantages | Shorter-lasting | Less natural | Higher technical difficulty |

Creating Peach Blossom Eyes: Aegyo Sal
Aegyo sal are a key feature of peach blossom eyes, giving an impression of liveliness and playfulness, and they can even make the eyes look bigger visually. The golden ratio for aegyo sal is about 0.3-0.4 times the size of the eye, and they can be created by injecting hyaluronic acid filler or with implant surgery:
| Hyaluronic acid filler | Aegyo sal surgery | |
|---|---|---|
| Method | Hyaluronic acid filler is injected to make the under-eye area plump up | A small incision is made at the outer corner of the eye, and aegyo sal are sculpted under the eye by implanting foreign tissue such as artificial dermis, autologous fat, or fascia, or by overlapping the eye muscle |
| Treatment time | About 15 minutes | About 1-2 hours |
| Duration | About 1 year | Permanent |
| Advantages | No surgery needed Short treatment time No wound afterward Lower price | Long-lasting results Fuller and firmer than hyaluronic acid filler |
| Disadvantages | Dose must be controlled to avoid an unnatural look Absorbed by the body, so regular top-ups are needed | Longer recovery Higher price Requires surgery |

Creating Peach Blossom Eyes: The Eye Area
Besides the eye shape itself, the condition of the skin around the eyes also affects how peach blossom eyes look. Fine lines around the eyes make you look tired and older. To improve aging around the eyes:
1. Thermage FLX + skin booster hydration
- How Thermage FLX works
Thermage FLX uses monopolar radiofrequency technology: wireless high-frequency radio waves that vibrate about 6 million times per second heat a wide area in “3D volumetric heating,” stimulating collagen and elastin regeneration and triggering the body's natural repair response, which removes wrinkles, fine lines, and laxity, leaving skin smooth, firm, plump, and full of elasticity
- The Thermage FLX Eye Tip
Each tip delivers 450 shots and treats the superficial skin around the eyes. Certified by the US FDA, it can effectively improve fine lines and laxity around the eyes. Treatment takes about 20-30 minutes. However, because the number of shots is low, we recommend using one tip on either the upper or the lower eyelid. If you want to treat both, you can combine it with full-face radiofrequency for even better results.
- Skin booster injections
Skin booster injections use patented negative-pressure injection technology to infuse skin essences rich in hyaluronic acid, botulinum toxin, collagen, and more into the dermis, hydrating the skin deeply and solving dryness at its root, and when combined with Thermage FLX eye-area treatment, they can deal with fine lines more effectively.

2. HydraFacial Perk eye-area care
HydraFacial uses a treatment essence designed for the skin around the eyes, with European horse chestnut seed extract and arnica extract, which repairs intensively deep in the skin, conditions, firms, and hydrates the eye area to restore a bouncy, radiant look
3. Botulinum toxin wrinkle treatment
Obvious wrinkles that appear under the eyes when you smile are dynamic lines around the eyes caused by muscle contraction. You can inject botulinum toxin to relax the muscles around the eyes, which eliminates lines around the eyes and leaves the skin there firm and smooth.
