Medial epicanthoplasty reviews: what to check when looking them up.
Some people look into various eye surgeries
to achieve larger, more open-looking eyes.
While some patients undergo canthoplasty together with double eyelid surgery,
others choose to have only canthoplasty performed.
Many people who look up reviews of medial epicanthoplasty
said they wanted canthoplasty but were worried about scarring.
Those considering double eyelid surgery, canthoplasty, and similar procedures naturally cannot help but be concerned about scars.
They may have wanted to improve their eyes to look more open, but if the results are unsatisfactory
or scarring causes even more stress about their appearance,
it is important for anyone considering canthoplasty to research carefully.
Medial epicanthoplasty aims to make the area between the eyes look more open and defined,
helping you move toward a more ideal eye shape.
Even though eye surgery is often described as simple and straightforward,
it should not be undertaken hastily without looking into a variety of information,
and because there are more factors to consider than expected, it is best to think carefully before proceeding.
Shall we look at the different types of canthoplasty?
1. Lowering Canthoplasty
Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery’s lowering canthoplasty targets the lower outer area of the eyelid, around the outer lower part of the iris at about one-third of the lower eyelid margin,
and lowers the eyelid, 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, reducing the slant of the eyes
with the aim of a softer and gentler appearance.
Cases that may require lowering canthoplasty
- When the outer corners of the eyes are upturned, making the impression 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 closed-off
- When the patient is not satisfied even after medial or lateral canthoplasty
- When the eyes appear too close together after medial epicanthoplasty
Lowering canthoplasty is a procedure that increases the vertical length of the eyes to make them appear larger, aiming to change eyes that look closed-off or constrained
into large, clear, and open-looking eyes, while increasing pupil exposure
so improvement toward 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 upturned.
This canthoplasty opens the closed-looking outer corner area through an incision and fixes it to the outer periosteum,
aiming to extend the horizontal length of the eyes.
By suturing inside the eyelid with absorbable threads, it also aims to ease the burden of returning to daily life.
Cases that may require anti-adhesion lateral canthoplasty
- Eyes that appear pulled inward toward the center
- When upturned outer eye corners make the impression look strong
- When a previous lateral canthoplasty has reattached
- When the horizontal width of the eyes is narrow, making them look closed-off
- If you want large, clear-looking eyes
If 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, and because the outer corners are extended outward,
the horizontal length of the eyes also appears longer, so long, clear-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, clearer-looking eyes.
As an eye surgery that aims to give sharp and intense-looking eyes a gentler impression, it uses canthoplasty,
and a softer, more open-looking appearance can be expected.
Candidates for Dual Canthoplasty
- If the eyes look too close together because the distance between the brows is narrow
- If the eyes look stuffy because the horizontal width of the eyes is narrow
- 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 upturned, making the impression look sharp
4. Epicanthoplasty Designed to Reduce the Scar Burden
Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery's epicanthoplasty differs from conventional epicanthoplasty by using an inner incision, making scars
less of a burden. It also uses a minimal incision on the upper eyelid and releases the Mongolian fold, widening not only the horizontal width
but also the vertical width, aiming for large, clear-looking eyes.
Because swelling and the scar burden are relatively low, returning to daily life tends to be less of a burden, and it can help change a stuffy and sharp impression
into a clearer and softer one.
When Epicanthoplasty Designed to Reduce the Scar Burden Is Needed
- If the horizontal width of the eyes is narrow
- If the distance between the eyes looks wide due to Mongolian folds
- If the front part of the eye shape 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 area of the eye
and suturing from the inside; the scar burden tends to be lower, and the horizontal eye line is lengthened.
Clearer, softer-looking eyes and a gentler 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 proceed with 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.
