A clinic good at medial epicanthoplasty: what to check when choosing.
When we form a first impression,
we believe the eyes are an important area.
Because the eyes have a major influence on each person's overall image,
many people who are not satisfied with their impression hope to improve their eyes.
Since standards of beauty change with the times, the beauty each person wants
can be different for everyone.
However, large, open-looking eyes can be said to be the eye shape
that many people generally prefer.
Even after undergoing double-eyelid surgery to improve the eye shape,
when there is no major change, people often have no choice but to look into places that are good at medial epicanthoplasty.
Creating a double-eyelid line is helpful,
but opening the inner, lower, and outer corners can also change the size and overall mood of the eyes.
Depending on whether the outer corners of the eyes are upturned
or downturned, the impression can look different,
so we wanted to explain canthoplasty in more detail.
If the horizontal length of the eyes is short, the eyes are far apart,
the eyes look stuffy, or the Mongolian folds are severe,
let's take a closer look at canthoplasty procedures that may be considered.
1. Lower Canthoplasty
Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery's lower canthoplasty is a procedure that lowers the lower eyelid at the outer lower portion of the iris, around one-third of the lower eyelid margin,
aiming for a softer eye shape.
Depending on the individual's eye condition, it lengthens the horizontal width of the eyes and lowers the outer corners to reduce the upward slant,
with the aim of a softer and gentler eye appearance.
Cases where lower canthoplasty may be needed
- When the outer corners of the eyes are upturned, making the eyes look sharp
- When the vertical width above and below the iris is short
- When the horizontal width of the eyes is narrow, making them look stuffy
- When satisfaction is low even after medial or lateral canthoplasty
- When the eyes appear pulled inward after medial epicanthoplasty
Lower canthoplasty is a procedure that increases the vertical length of the eyes to make them look larger, aiming to improve a stuffy and closed-looking
eye shape into large, clear, and open-looking eyes while increasing pupil exposure
so a softer image can be expected.
2. Lateral Canthoplasty
Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery's adhesion-prevention lateral canthoplasty is a canthoplasty procedure performed when the horizontal length of the eyes is short and slightly upturned.
It opens the blocked-looking 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 the inside of the eyelid with dissolvable thread, it also aims to ease the burden of returning to daily life.
Cases where adhesion-prevention lateral canthoplasty is needed
- Eyes that appear pulled inward toward the center
- If the outer corners of the eyes are upturned, making the impression look strong
- If you have had lateral canthoplasty but the area has reattached
- When the horizontal width of the eyes is narrow, making them look stuffy
- If you want larger, more open-looking eyes
When the outer corners of the eyes are upturned and make the impression look sharp, opening the outer corners aims for a gentler look
and a kinder, softer overall impression. Since the outer corners are extended outward,
the horizontal length of the eyes also appears longer, with the aim of longer, more open-looking eyes.
3. Dual Canthoplasty
Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery’s dual canthoplasty increases both the horizontal and vertical width of the eyes at the same time, aiming for larger, more open-looking eyes,
and is an eye surgery that aims to give sleek, sharp-looking eyes a gentler impression;
through canthoplasty, softer and more refreshed-looking eyes are the goal.
Candidates for Dual Canthoplasty
- If the space between the eyes is narrow and the eyes look close together
- If the horizontal width of the eyes is narrow, making them look restricted
- If the eyes are close together and epicanthoplasty is not possible
- If you did not see results from epicanthoplasty
- When the outer corners of the eyes are upturned, making the eyes look sharp
4. Epicanthoplasty Designed to Reduce the Scar Burden
Unlike conventional epicanthoplasty, Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery’s epicanthoplasty uses an inner incision, so scars are less
visible. It also makes a minimal incision on the upper eyelid and releases the Mongolian fold, widening not only the horizontal
but also the vertical width of the eyes, 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 restricted and sharp impression
can be expected to change into a brighter and softer one.
When Epicanthoplasty Designed to Reduce the Scar Burden Is Needed
- If the horizontal width of the eyes is narrow
- If the Mongolian fold makes the space between the eyes look wide
- If the front part of the eye shape slopes down sharply, making the impression look sharp
- If you want more open-looking eyes by combining it with double eyelid surgery
- If you want epicanthoplasty with a reduced scar burden
This surgical method is meant to make up for the scar burden of conventional epicanthoplasty, making an incision on the inner front area of the eye
and suturing from the inside; the scar burden tends to be lower, and by lengthening the horizontal eye line,
a more open, softer eye shape and impression can be expected.
Eye canthoplasty is highly preferred because it can make one’s impression look different,
so it is important to visit a clinic experienced in eye canthoplasty that is suitable for you and proceed with specialized medical staff.
Also, after a one-on-one customized consultation with medical staff experienced in eye surgery, your eye structure,
shape, and facial proportions should be taken into account as you plan canthoplasty.
