A hospital good at lateral canthoplasty: what to check first when choosing
People who usually have small, stuffy-looking eyes
may describe them as narrow, closed-looking eyes.
For those who feel self-conscious about such narrow-looking eyes and want to improve them,
it is natural to look into hospitals that are good at lateral canthoplasty.
Lateral canthoplasty is one type of eye-opening surgery.
By extending the horizontal length of the eyes, it aims for a clearer and more open-looking eye shape,
making it a possible solution for those with stuffy-looking eyes.
The eyes play a major role in determining a first impression,
and they are also the area through which we read another person’s emotions. Even a small change
can make one’s impression look different, so it can be recommended for those who have concerns about their eyes.
Before improving the eyes through canthoplasty,
it is best to first understand what issues your eyes have.
Because each person’s eye shape and eye contours are different, these factors should be considered along with overall harmony and balance,
so it is advisable to proceed at a place that can help achieve the right improvement.
Now, shall we look at how canthoplasty can improve the eyes?
1. Lower canthoplasty
Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery’s lower canthoplasty targets the lower eyelid at the outer one-third edge, below the outer part of the iris,
and lowers the lower eyelid, aiming for a softer-looking eye shape.
Depending on each individual’s eye condition, it can extend the horizontal length of the eyes and lower the outer corners,
softening the eye slant, aiming for a gentler and kinder-looking 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 iris is short
- When the horizontal width of the eyes is narrow, making them look stuffy
- When you are not satisfied even after medial or lateral canthoplasty
- When the eyes look too close together after medial canthoplasty
Lower canthoplasty is a procedure that increases the vertical length of the eyes to make them appear larger, aiming to turn a stuffy, closed-looking
eye shape into a wider, clearer, and more open look. It also increases pupil exposure,
and a softer image can also 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 raised.
It opens the stuffy, closed 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 on the inside of the eyelid, it also aims to make the return to daily life less of a burden.
Cases where adhesion-prevention lateral canthoplasty may be needed
- Eyes that appear to be set too close together
- When the outer corners of the eyes are raised, making the impression look strong
- When previous lateral canthoplasty has reattached
- When the horizontal width of the eyes is narrow, making them look stuffy
- When you want larger, more open-looking eyes
If the outer corners of the eyes are raised and make the impression look sharp, opening the outer corners aims for a gentler look
and an overall image that appears kind and soft. Because the outer corners are extended outward,
the horizontal length of the eyes also appears longer, so longer, more refreshed-looking eyes can be expected.
3. Dual Canthoplasty
Dual canthoplasty at Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery simultaneously increases both the horizontal and vertical width of the eyes, creating larger, more refreshed-looking eyes.
It is an eye surgery that aims to give sharp and intense-looking eyes a gentler impression, and through canthoplasty
a softer and more open, refreshed look can be expected.
Who Is Dual Canthoplasty For?
- When the eyes look too close together because the distance between them is narrow
- When the eyes look stuffy because the horizontal width is narrow
- When epicanthoplasty is not possible because the eyes are too close together
- When there was little effect from a previous 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, as the incision is made on the inner side, making scars
less of a burden. In addition, by making a minimal incision on the upper eyelid and releasing the Mongolian fold, it widens not only the horizontal width
but also the vertical width, aiming for larger, more refreshed-looking eyes.
With relatively little swelling and scar burden, returning to daily life tends to be less of a burden, which can help change a stuffy and sharp impression
into a clearer, softer one.
When Epicanthoplasty Designed to Reduce the Scar Burden Is Needed
- When the horizontal width of the eyes is narrow
- When the distance between the eyes appears wide due to Mongolian folds
- When the front part of the eyes slopes down sharply, making the impression look sharp
- When you want a more refreshed eye shape by combining it with double-eyelid surgery
- When you want an epicanthoplasty with a reduced scar burden
This surgical method is meant to make up for the scar burden of conventional epicanthoplasty by making an incision on the inner front part of the eye
and suturing from the inside, so the scar burden tends to be lower, while increasing the horizontal length of the eyes.
A refreshed, soft eye shape and impression can be expected.
At our clinic, we follow the principle of personalized surgery, designing each procedure with consideration for the individual's eye shape and facial harmony.
Our medical team provides one-on-one customized care from consultation through postoperative follow-up.
For canthoplasty, you cannot choose a clinic based only on canthoplasty reviews.
I wanted to say that you should carefully consider the surgeon's experience and skill, what is explained at the consultation, the design sense,
and the postoperative care provided by the clinic in order to achieve the results you want.
For students preparing for exams who are considering lateral canthoplasty,
Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery is currently offering a student event and provides consultations where you can learn
about the recovery care process.
