Lateral canthoplasty before and after: what to know in advance.
These days, since people started wearing masks, many have become more focused on the eyes.
Because masks cover the face, when we see someone for the first time, we tend to look at their eyes first.
Because of this, people who have had concerns about their eyes, those considering double eyelid surgery,
and those who want their eyes to look bigger are looking into before-and-after results of lateral canthoplasty
and showing greater interest in their appearance.
In an era when many people take care of their appearance because they want to change their image,
as times continue to change, the face that the public pursues is also gradually changing and evolving.
Everyone knows that simply creating double eyelids does not necessarily complete the look of large eyes, right?
Rather than focusing only on pretty eyes or large eyes, it is important to improve the eyes
in a way that suits you best.
Today, we have prepared helpful information for those whose eyes still do not look bigger after double eyelid surgery
or who have been upset because of small-looking eyes!!!
Among eye surgeries, double eyelid surgery and canthoplasty procedures involve relatively less surgical burden
and the return to daily life tends to be quick, so they are popular among those
who want subtle changes.
Canthoplasty is a procedure that opens the eyes vertically and horizontally, increasing the horizontal width and vertical length,
and it can be expected to bring about changes in the eye shape.
It is divided into medial canthoplasty, upper canthoplasty, lateral canthoplasty, and others.
Among people looking up before-and-after results of lateral canthoplasty,
the reason lateral lower canthoplasty is so popular is that even small differences in the eye shape, size, and length before and after surgery
can be expected to improve the overall image.
Then, let’s take a look at the different types of canthoplasty.
1. Lower canthoplasty
Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery’s lower canthoplasty is a procedure performed around the outer part of the iris at the lower eyelid margin, about one-third from the outer edge,
by lowering the lower eyelid, aiming for a softer eye shape.
Depending on each person’s eye condition, it increases the horizontal length of the eyes and lowers the outer corners to reduce the upward slant,
aiming for a softer and more gentle-looking eye shape.
- Cases where lower canthoplasty may be needed
1. When the outer corners of the eyes are raised, making the impression look sharp
2. When the vertical width above and below the iris is short
3. When the horizontal width of the eyes is narrow, making the eyes look closed-in
4. When you are not satisfied even after medial or lateral canthoplasty
5. When the eyes look too close together after medial canthoplasty
This procedure enlarges the eyes by increasing their vertical length,
aiming to turn a closed-in, stuffy-looking eye shape into open, large, and clear-looking eyes,
increasing pupil exposure, and a softer image can be expected.
2. Adhesion-prevention 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,
and it is a canthoplasty procedure that opens the closed-looking outer corner of the eye through an incision.
This procedure fixes the outer tissue to the periosteum, aiming to extend the horizontal length of the eyes.
By using dissolvable sutures to stitch the inside of the eyelid, it also aims to make the return to daily life less of a burden.
- When adhesion-prevention lateral canthoplasty is needed
1. Eyes that appear to be set too close together toward the center
2. When the outer corners of the eyes are upturned, making the impression look strong
3. When a previous lateral canthoplasty has reattached
4. When the horizontal width of the eyes is narrow, making the eyes look constricted
5. When you want larger, more open-looking eyes
When upturned outer eye corners make the impression look sharp, opening the outer corners aims for a more
gentle, kind, and soft-looking impression.
Because the eyes are extended outward at the outer corners, the horizontal length of the eyes can also appear longer,
so a longer, more open-looking eye shape can be expected.
3. Dual Canthoplasty
Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery’s dual canthoplasty increases both the horizontal and vertical width of the eyes, creating larger,
clearer-looking eyes, and as an eye surgery it aims to give a sharp, intense eye shape a gentler impression.
Through canthoplasty, it aims for a softer and more open-looking appearance.
- When dual canthoplasty is needed
1. When the space between the eyebrows is narrow, making the eyes look close together
2. When the horizontal width of the eyes is narrow, making them look constricted
3. When the eyes are close together, making epicanthoplasty unsuitable
4. When epicanthoplasty did not produce the desired effect
5. When the outer corners of the eyes are upturned, making the impression look fierce
4. Epicanthoplasty Designed to Reduce the Scar Burden
Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery’s epicanthoplasty differs from conventional epicanthoplasty
by using an inner incision to reduce the scar burden.
In addition, it involves a minimal incision on the upper eyelid and releases the Mongolian fold,
thereby widening not only the horizontal width but also the vertical width,
aiming to create large, open-looking eyes.
Because swelling and the scar burden are relatively low, returning to daily life tends to be less of a burden, and a constricted,
sharp impression
can be expected to become clearer and softer.
- When epicanthoplasty designed to reduce the scar burden is needed
1. When the horizontal width of the eyes is narrow
2. When the Mongolian fold makes the space between the eyes look wide
3. When the front eye shape points downward sharply, making the impression look sharp
4. When you want an even more open-looking eye shape by combining it with double-eyelid surgery
5. When you want epicanthoplasty with a reduced scar burden
We have talked about canthoplasty in this way.
As canthoplasty can change how one’s impression looks and is highly preferred, it is most important to find a procedure that suits you
and visit a clinic skilled in eye canthoplasty to receive treatment from experienced medical professionals.
After a one-on-one personalized consultation with medical specialists highly experienced in eye surgery, your eye structure, eye shape, and facial features
as well as proportions and other factors should be considered when planning canthoplasty.
