It was difficult to find a place that is good at epicanthoplasty.
Recently, people have been seeking ways to improve aspects of their appearance
and are said to be showing growing interest in this area.
Among many concerns, interest in the eyes seems to remain especially strong.
As the period of wearing masks became longer,
we naturally came to look at the eyes first when seeing another person.
A person’s eyes are said to convey more information to others than we might think.
I felt that the eyes are important because they are connected to most of the facial expressions we make.
They say that when the eyes look large and clear, we tend to receive a better impression.
Apart from that, larger-looking eyes can also be an aesthetically favorable feature
and naturally make a person appear beautiful and attractive.
If there are prominent Mongolian folds that make the distance between the eyes look wide and create a heavy, closed-off eye shape,
it may not only be aesthetically unfavorable but also make it difficult to leave a strong first impression.
In modern society, unlike in the past, appearance is increasingly becoming a form of competitiveness, so people are paying more attention
to their outward appearance.
For those looking for a place that performs epicanthoplasty well, how much do you know about epicanthoplasty?
Epicanthoplasty removes the Mongolian fold of the eye and extends the horizontal length of the eyes,
making it a procedure that aims to improve eyes that look closed-off or stuffy.
In addition to epicanthoplasty, there are lower canthoplasty and lateral canthoplasty, and today we will look at these canthoplasty procedures together.
First, let’s look at lower canthoplasty.
Lower canthoplasty at Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery is performed on the lower eyelid at the point about one-third from the outer edge, below the outer part of the dark iris,
lowering the lower eyelid with the aim of a softer eye shape.
Depending on each individual’s eye condition, it lengthens the horizontal width of the eyes and lowers the outer corners, reducing the slant of the eyes
with the aim of a softer and gentler impression.
Cases where lower canthoplasty may be needed
- When the outer corners of the eyes are raised, making the impression 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-off
- When satisfaction is low even after epicanthoplasty or lateral canthoplasty
- When the eyes look pulled inward after epicanthoplasty
Lower canthoplasty is a procedure that widens the vertical length of the eyes to make them appear larger, aiming to change a closed-off, blocked-looking
eye shape into open, larger, and clearer-looking eyes while increasing pupil exposure
so a softer overall image can be expected.
Let’s look at lateral canthoplasty.
Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery’s adhesion-prevention lateral canthoplasty is performed when the horizontal length of the eyes is short and the outer corners are slightly raised.
It is a canthoplasty procedure that opens the closed-off outer corner of the eye through an incision and fixes it to the outer periosteum,
aiming to expand the horizontal length of the eyes.
By suturing inside the eyelid using dissolvable threads, it also aims to ease the burden of returning to daily activities.
Cases where adhesion-prevention lateral canthoplasty may be needed
- Eyes that appear gathered inward toward the center
- If the outer corners of the eyes are lifted, making the impression look strong
- If you have had lateral canthoplasty but the area has re-adhered
- When the horizontal width of the eyes is narrow, making them look closed-off
- If you want larger, more open-looking eyes
When the outer corners of the eyes are lifted and the impression looks sharp, opening the outer corners aims for a gentler look
and a kind, soft impression. Because the outer corners are extended outward,
the horizontal length of the eyes also appears longer, with the aim of long, open-looking eyes.
Let’s learn about dual canthoplasty.
Dual canthoplasty at Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery increases both the horizontal and vertical width of the eyes at the same time, aiming for larger, more open-looking eyes.
As an eye surgery that aims to give sharp and fierce-looking eyes a gentler impression, it uses canthoplasty,
with a softer and more open look as the goal.
Candidates for dual canthoplasty
- If the eyes look too close together because the distance between the eyes is narrow
- If the eyes look stuffy because the horizontal width is narrow
- If medial epicanthoplasty is not possible because the eyes are close together
- If you did not see results from medial epicanthoplasty
- When the outer corners of the eyes are raised, making the impression look sharp
Let’s learn about medial epicanthoplasty designed to reduce the scar burden.
Unlike conventional medial epicanthoplasty, medial epicanthoplasty at Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery uses an inner incision, so scars are less
visible. It also uses a minimal incision on the upper eyelid and releases the Mongolian fold, widening not only the horizontal
but also the vertical width, aiming for larger, more 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 stuffy and sharp impression
can be expected to change toward a clearer and softer one.
When medial epicanthoplasty designed to reduce the scar burden is needed
- If the horizontal width of the eyes is narrow
- If the distance between the eyes appears wide due to a Mongolian fold
- If the front part of the eye slopes downward sharply, making the impression look sharp
- If you want a more open-looking eye shape by combining it with double eyelid surgery
- If you want medial epicanthoplasty with a reduced scar burden
This surgical method is meant to make up for the scar burden of conventional medial epicanthoplasty, making an incision on the inner front part of the eye
and suturing from the inside; the scar burden tends to be lower, and by lengthening the horizontal eye line,
a clear, soft eye shape and impression can be expected.
Because eye canthoplasty is highly preferred, as it can make one’s impression look different,
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 professionals experienced in eye surgery, your eye structure,
shape, and facial proportions should be taken into account as you plan canthoplasty.
