How should you look for a place that is good at medial epicanthoplasty?
As the period of wearing masks becomes longer,
it is said that we naturally become more interested in improving the appearance of our eyes.
The eyes play an important role in determining a first impression,
and even a small change can make one’s impression look different, so interest in improvement is only natural.
Those who are interested in finding a place that performs medial epicanthoplasty well
often have a complex about eyes that look stuffy or closed-in.
In general, many East Asians are genetically born with epicanthal folds,
and these folds can make the eyes look closed-in and make the distance between the eyes appear wider,
which may give a dull impression.
Because epicanthal folds can make the double-eyelid line appear blocked, creating a stuffy image,
the eyes may be improved through medial epicanthoplasty.
Before proceeding with medial epicanthoplasty,
it is best to design the surgery after thoroughly assessing the double-eyelid line and the shape of the epicanthal folds through sufficient consultation.
Methods for improving the horizontal length of the eyes include medial epicanthoplasty, lateral canthoplasty, lower canthoplasty, and dual canthoplasty.
Shall we take a look together at how each method is performed?
1. Lower canthoplasty
Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery’s lower canthoplasty targets the lower eyelid at the outer part of the iris, around the outer one-third of the lower eyelid margin,
and is a procedure that lowers the lower eyelid, aiming for a softer eye shape.
Depending on each individual’s eye condition, it lengthens the horizontal width of the eyes and lowers the outer corners,
making the slope gentler, with the aim of a softer, kinder-looking eye shape.
Cases where lower canthoplasty may be needed
- 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-in
- When the result is unsatisfactory even after medial or lateral canthoplasty
- When the eyes appear pulled inward after medial epicanthoplasty
Lower canthoplasty is a procedure that enlarges the eyes by increasing their vertical length, aiming to change a stuffy, closed-looking
eye shape into a larger, clearer, and more open appearance while increasing pupil exposure
so improvement toward a softer image can be expected.
2. 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 upturned.
It opens the closed-looking outer corner of the eye through an incision and fixes it to the outer periosteum,
aiming to extend the horizontal length of the eyes.
By using dissolvable sutures inside 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 pulled inward toward the center
- When the outer corners of the eyes are upturned, making the impression look strong
- When a previous lateral canthoplasty has reattached
- When the horizontal width of the eyes is narrow, making them look closed-in
- When a larger, more open-looking eye shape is desired
When 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 overall impression. Because it extends the outer corners of the eyes outward,
the horizontal length of the eyes also appears longer, so a long, open look can be expected.
3. Dual Canthoplasty
Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery’s dual canthoplasty increases both the horizontal and vertical dimensions of the eyes at the same time, aiming for larger, more open-looking eyes,
and is an eye surgery that aims to give a sleek, sharp eye shape a gentler impression. Through canthoplasty,
a softer and more refreshed look can be expected.
Candidates for Dual Canthoplasty
- When the space between the eyes is narrow and the eyes appear too close together
- When the horizontal width of the eyes is narrow and the eyes look closed or stuffy
- When the eyes are close together and medial epicanthoplasty is not possible
- When there was little effect from previous medial epicanthoplasty
- When the outer corners of the eyes are upturned, making the impression look sharp
4. Medial Epicanthoplasty
Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery’s medial epicanthoplasty differs from conventional medial epicanthoplasty by using an inner incision, so scars are less
visible. In addition, it makes a minimal incision on the upper eyelid and releases the Mongolian fold, widening not only the horizontal
but also the vertical dimension, aiming for larger, more open-looking eyes,
and because swelling and the scar burden are relatively low, returning to daily activities tends to be less of a burden, and it can help change a closed-off and sharp impression
into a refreshed and gentle one.
When Medial Epicanthoplasty Designed to Reduce the Scar Burden Is Needed
- When the horizontal width of the eyes is narrow
- When the space between the eyes appears wide due to Mongolian folds
- When the front eye shape slopes downward sharply, making the impression look sharp
- When you want a more open-looking eye shape by combining it with double-eyelid surgery
- When 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 area of the eye
and suturing from the inside; the scar burden tends to be lower, and by lengthening the horizontal eye line,
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 and lower canthoplasty reviews, it is important to consult thoroughly with experienced medical professionals
about whether the method suits you before proceeding. Also, after a one-on-one customized consultation with medical staff highly experienced in eye surgery, your eye structure,
shape, and facial proportions should be taken into account as you plan canthoplasty.
If you are considering canthoplasty,
