Can there be a noticeable difference before and after eye-opening surgery???
Many people feel self-conscious about having small eyes.
Today, we would like to talk about this for those patients.
Some patients proceed with double-eyelid surgery expecting that it alone can transform small eyes into larger, clearer-looking eyes,
but when the results fall short of expectations, they may feel disappointed,
and begin looking into before-and-after results of eye-opening surgery.
Eye-opening surgery places relatively little burden on patients and the return to daily life tends to be quick,
so as more people have recently been seeking subtle changes,
canthoplasty procedures, with recovery periods that tend to be relatively short, have become very popular.
With eye-opening surgery, even a small adjustment can make one’s impression look different,
which is why many people are showing interest in it.
It is a surgery that opens the upper, lower, inner, and outer areas of the eyes to increase both horizontal width and vertical height.
Eye-opening surgery can be expected to create changes in the eye shape,
and it is categorized into procedures such as epicanthoplasty, upper canthoplasty, and lateral canthoplasty.
First, let’s look at lower canthoplasty.
Lower canthoplasty at Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery targets the lower eyelid around the outer third of the lower eyelid margin, below the outer part of the iris,
and gently lowers the lower eyelid, aiming for a softer eye shape.
Depending on the individual condition of the eyes, it can increase the horizontal length of the eyes and lower the outer corners,
making the eye slant gentler, with a softer, kinder impression as the aim.
Cases where lower canthoplasty may be needed
- When the outer corners of the eyes are raised, making the eyes look sharp
- When the vertical width above and below the pupil is short
- When the horizontal width of the eyes is narrow, making them look closed or stuffy
- When satisfaction is still lacking after epicanthoplasty or lateral canthoplasty
- When the eyes look too close together after epicanthoplasty
Lower canthoplasty is a procedure that increases the vertical height of the eyes to make them appear larger, aiming to turn eyes that look closed or blocked
into wide, large, and clear-looking eyes, while increasing pupil exposure,
and a softer image can be expected.
Let’s look at lateral canthoplasty.
Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery’s adhesion-prevention lateral canthoplasty is performed when the horizontal eye length is short and the outer corners are slightly raised.
This canthoplasty opens the blocked-looking outer eye corners through an incision and fixes them to the outer periosteum,
aiming to extend the horizontal length of the eyes.
By using absorbable sutures to close the inside of the eyelid,
it also aims to make the return to daily life less of a burden.
Cases where adhesion-prevention lateral canthoplasty may be needed
- Eyes that appear to be gathered inward toward the center
- When the outer corners of the eyes are raised, making the impression look strong
- When previous lateral canthoplasty has reattached
- When the horizontal width of the eyes is narrow, making them look closed or stuffy
- When larger, more open-looking eyes are desired
When the outer corners of the eyes turn upward and make the impression look sharp, opening the outer corners aims for a gentler look
and a kind, soft impression. Because it extends the outer corners of the eyes outward,
the horizontal length of the eyes also appears longer, with long, open-looking eyes as the aim.
Let’s learn about dual canthoplasty.
Dual canthoplasty at Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery increases both the horizontal and vertical dimensions of the eyes at the same time, creating larger, more open-looking eyes.
As an eye surgery meant to give a sharp and intense eye shape a gentler impression, this canthoplasty procedure
aims for a softer and more refreshed appearance.
Who Is Dual Canthoplasty For?
- When the eyes appear too close together because the space between the eyebrows is narrow
- When the horizontal width of the eyes is narrow, making the eyes look closed-in
- When epicanthoplasty is not possible because the eyes are close together
- When previous epicanthoplasty did not produce the desired effect
- When the outer corners of the eyes are raised, making the eyes look sharp
Let’s learn about epicanthoplasty designed to reduce the scar burden.
Epicanthoplasty at Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery differs from conventional epicanthoplasty by using an inner incision, making scars
less of a burden. In addition, it involves a minimal incision of the upper eyelid and releases the Mongolian fold, widening not only the horizontal
but also the vertical dimension, aiming for larger, more open-looking eyes.
With relatively little swelling and scar burden, returning to daily life tends to be less of a burden, and a closed-in, sharp impression
can be expected to take on a refreshed and softer appearance.
When Epicanthoplasty Designed to Reduce the Scar Burden Is Needed
- When the horizontal width of the eyes is narrow
- When the space between the eyes appears wide due to Mongolian folds
- When the front part of the eyes slopes sharply downward, making the impression look sharp
- When you want a more open-looking eye shape by combining it with double-eyelid surgery
- When you want epicanthoplasty with a reduced scar burden
This surgical method is meant to make up for the scar burden of conventional epicanthoplasty by making an incision on the inner side at the front of the eye
and suturing from the inside, reducing the scar burden while lengthening the horizontal dimension of the eyes.
A refreshed, soft eye shape and impression can be expected.
Because many people seek eye canthoplasty,
it is important to visit a clinic skilled in eye canthoplasty that is suitable for you and have the procedure performed by experienced medical professionals.
In addition, after a one-on-one customized consultation with medical staff highly experienced in eye surgery,
factors such as the structure and shape of your eyes and their proportions with your face should be considered
when planning your canthoplasty.
If you are looking into canthoplasty while viewing before-and-after photos,
consult Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery to receive detailed guidance on the recovery-care process.
We invite you to come in for a consultation.
