How can you find a place that is skilled at lateral canthoplasty?
These days, wearing masks has become part of daily life.
It is said that when looking at someone, the eyes are the first feature people notice.
Recently, rather than whether someone has double eyelids, eyes that look horizontally long and open
have become a popular image, increasing interest in canthoplasty procedures.
Canthoplasty is said to widen the overall eye width and create a change in the overall image.
For those who have always wanted large, open-looking eyes,
those whose eyes looked closed-in because of Mongolian folds,
those with a wide distance between the eyebrows,
and those whose eyes were short from side to side or horizontally, looking for a place that is skilled at lateral canthoplasty
was naturally something they had to consider.
Because even a small change to the eyes can greatly improve one’s image,
before proceeding with improvement through sufficient consultation with medical staff,
it is best to carefully understand each person’s concerns and the appropriate solutions.
What types of canthoplasty procedures are there that widen small, closed-looking eyes
and aim for a more open, refreshing image?
They are said to be divided into epicanthoplasty, lateral canthoplasty, lower canthoplasty, and dual canthoplasty.
Let’s take a look together.
1. Lower canthoplasty
Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery’s lower canthoplasty is performed at the lower outer area of the black pupil, around the outer one-third of the lower eyelid margin.
It is a procedure that lowers the lower eyelid, aiming for a softer eye shape.
Depending on the individual 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 gentle and soft-looking eye shape.
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-in
- When the result is still unsatisfactory after epicanthoplasty or lateral canthoplasty
- When the eyes look gathered inward after epicanthoplasty
Lower canthoplasty is a procedure that increases the vertical length of the eyes to make them appear larger, aiming to change closed and blocked-looking
eyes into large, open, and clear eyes while increasing pupil exposure
so a softer image can be expected.
2. Lateral canthoplasty
Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery’s anti-adhesion lateral canthoplasty is performed when the horizontal eye length is short and the outer corners are slightly raised.
As a canthoplasty procedure, it opens the closed-in outer corner of the eye through an incision and fixes it to the outer periosteum,
aiming to expand the horizontal length.
By using dissolvable sutures to stitch the inside of the eyelid, it also aims to ease the burden of returning to daily life.
Cases where adhesion-prevention lateral canthoplasty may be needed
- Eyes that appear to be gathered inward on both sides
- When the outer corners of the eyes are raised, making the impression look strong
- If revision occurred after previous lateral canthoplasty due to re-adhesion
- When the horizontal width of the eyes is narrow, making them look closed-in
- If you want larger, more open-looking eyes
If the outer corners of the eyes turn upward and make the impression look sharp, opening the eye 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, so longer, more open-looking eyes can be expected.
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.
As an eye surgery that aims to give a sharp and intense eye shape a gentler impression, it uses canthoplasty,
and a softer, more refreshed look can be expected.
Candidates for Dual Canthoplasty
- If the space between the eyes is narrow and the eyes appear too close together
- If the horizontal width of the eyes is narrow, making them look constricted
- If epicanthoplasty is not possible because the eyes are close together
- If you did not see results from epicanthoplasty
- When the outer corners of the eyes are raised, making the impression look sharp
4. Epicanthoplasty
Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery’s epicanthoplasty differs from conventional epicanthoplasty by using an inner incision, so scars are less
visible. In addition, it makes a minimal incision in the upper eyelid and releases the Mongolian fold, widening not only the horizontal
but also the vertical width of the eyes, aiming for 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 stuffy, sharp impression
can be expected to change into a refreshed and gentle 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 of the eyes points 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 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 side of the eye
and suturing from the inside. The scar burden tends to be lower, and by increasing the horizontal length of the eyes,
a refreshed, soft eye shape and impression can be expected.
Eye-opening surgery is highly preferred because it can make one’s impression look different,
so while you look over posterior-lower canthoplasty reviews, it is important to consult thoroughly with specialized medical staff
about whether the method is right for you before proceeding. Also, after a one-on-one customized consultation with experienced eye-surgery specialists, your eye structure,
shape, and facial proportions should be taken into account as you plan canthoplasty.
