Is lateral canthoplasty possible for monolid eyes?
Hello.
This is Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery.
Today, we will take a look at eye-opening procedures.
As the period during which masks had to be worn continued to increase until recently,
many of us became more interested in improving the eye area.
People with monolid eyes may like their eyes without double eyelids, but still want a clearer, more open-looking eye shape,
which is why they may have looked into lateral canthoplasty for monolid eyes.
Because even a small change to the eyes can create a major change in one’s overall image,
before proceeding with eye improvement, it is important to properly
identify the issues with your own eyes and find a place that can provide solutions for those concerns.
Cost is important as well, but it is also good to check whether a specialist with diverse experience and know-how
can provide detailed, one-on-one improvement tailored to you.
Eye-opening procedures can be recommended for those whose eyes appear small compared with the size of their pupils,
making the impression look closed-off, or for those whose outer eye corners turn upward and give a sharp-looking image.
Then let’s find out which eye-opening procedure suits you and how it can help improve your eyes.
1. Lower Canthoplasty
Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery’s lower canthoplasty targets the lower eyelid at the outer area of the iris, around the outer one-third of the lower eyelid margin,
and lowers the lower eyelid, aiming for a softer eye shape.
Depending on each person’s eye condition, it can lengthen the horizontal width of the eyes and lower the outer corners to reduce the eye slant,
so a gentler and softer-looking eye shape can be expected.
Cases where lower canthoplasty may be needed
- When the outer eye corners are raised, making the eyes 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-off
- When you are not satisfied even after epicanthoplasty or lateral canthoplasty
- When the eyes appear too close together after epicanthoplasty
Lower canthoplasty is a procedure that enlarges the vertical length of the eyes to make them appear bigger, aiming to turn a closed-off and restricted-looking
eye shape into a wide-open, larger, and clearer eye appearance, while increasing pupil exposure,
and a softer image can be expected.
2. Lateral Canthoplasty
Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery’s adhesion-prevention lateral canthoplasty is performed when the horizontal eye length is short and the outer corners are slightly upturned.
It is an eye-opening procedure that opens the closed-looking outer corner of the eye through an incision and secures it to the outer periosteum,
aiming to expand the horizontal length of the eyes.
By suturing inside the eyelid with dissolvable threads, 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 inward or close together
- When the outer eye corners are raised, making the impression look strong
- When the eyes have reattached after a previous lateral canthoplasty
- When the horizontal width of the eyes is narrow, making them look closed-off
- When you want larger, more open-looking eyes
When the outer corners of the eyes are turned upward and make the impression look sharp, opening the outer corners aims for a gentler look
and a kind, soft impression, while extending the outer corners of the eyes outward.
Because it also makes the horizontal length of the eyes appear longer, a longer, clearer-looking eye shape 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, creating larger, clearer-looking eyes.
As an eye surgery meant to give a sleek and sharp eye shape a gentler impression, it uses canthoplasty
with the aim of softer, more open-looking eyes.
Recommended Candidates for Dual Canthoplasty
- When the eyes appear close together because the space between the brows is narrow
- When the horizontal width of the eyes is narrow, making the eyes look closed-in
- When epicanthoplasty is not possible because the eyes are close together
- When there was little effect from epicanthoplasty
- When the outer eye corners are raised, making the eyes 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 on the upper eyelid and releases the Mongolian fold, widening not only the horizontal
but also the vertical dimension, aiming for larger, clearer-looking eyes.
Because swelling and the scar burden are relatively low, returning to daily activities tends to be less of a burden, and a closed-in and sharp impression
can be expected to become clearer and softer.
When Epicanthoplasty Designed to Reduce the Scar Burden Is Needed
- When the horizontal width of the eyes is narrow
- When the space between the brows appears wide due to Mongolian folds
- When the front eye line slopes downward sharply, making the impression look sharp
- When you want clearer-looking eyes by combining it with double-eyelid surgery
- When you want 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 of the eye
and suturing from the inside, so the scar burden tends to be lower, while lengthening the horizontal length of the eyes.
A clearer, softer eye shape and impression can be expected.
