Is lateral canthoplasty at a plastic surgery clinic a good option?
Hello.
This is Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery.
Those who usually feel self-conscious about their eyes
may be able to improve that concern through double-eyelid surgery.
However, even if a double eyelid is created, a heavy-looking eye shape may not change.
When the eyes continue to look heavy despite having double eyelids,
we may start looking into a plastic surgery clinic for lateral canthoplasty.
Lateral canthoplasty can lengthen short, heavy-looking eyes, creating a more open and refreshing eye shape.
It is said to help create this effect.
Compared with Westerners, East Asians often have narrower eyes and upturned outer corners,
which can make the eyes look sharp.
Because the eyes are considered an important area that determines first impressions,
those with upturned outer eye corners may consider lateral canthoplasty
to achieve a more open and gentle-looking eye shape.
Since even a small change to the eyes can greatly change one’s overall image,
it is important to understand the issues with your own eyes before proceeding.
Then, shall we look at the types of eye-opening procedures that may suit you?
1. Lower canthoplasty
Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery’s lower canthoplasty targets the lower edge of the eyelid at the outer lower one-third point, below the outer part of the iris.
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,
softening the eye slant, so a gentle and kind-looking eye shape can be expected.
Cases where lower canthoplasty may be needed
- When the outer eye corners are upturned, making the eyes look fierce
- When the upper-to-lower height of the visible eye is short
- When the horizontal width of the eyes is narrow, making them look heavy
- When you are still not satisfied after epicanthoplasty or lateral canthoplasty
- When the eyes look too close together after epicanthoplasty
Lower canthoplasty is a procedure that increases the vertical height of the eyes, making them look larger. It aims to turn a heavy and closed-looking
eye shape into a wide-open, larger, and clearer-looking eye shape, while increasing pupil exposure,
and a softer overall 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.
As an eye-opening procedure, it opens the tightly closed outer corner area through an incision and fixes it to the outer periosteum,
aiming to expand the horizontal length of the eyes.
By using absorbable sutures to stitch 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 toward the center
- When the outer eye corners are upturned, making the impression look strong
- If you had lateral canthoplasty but the area has reattached
- When the horizontal width of the eyes is narrow, making them look heavy
- If you want larger, more open-looking eyes
If the outer corners of your eyes turn upward and make your impression look sharp, opening the eye corners aims for a gentler look
and a kind, soft impression. Because the outer corners of the eyes are extended outward,
the horizontal length of the eyes also appears longer, so long, open-looking eyes can be expected.
3. Dual Canthoplasty
Dual canthoplasty at Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery increases both the horizontal and vertical width of the eyes at the same time, creating larger, more open-looking eyes.
It is an eye surgery meant to give sharp, intense-looking eyes a gentler impression, using canthoplasty
with the aim of softer, more open-looking eyes.
Candidates for Dual Canthoplasty
- If the space between the eyes is narrow, making the eyes look too close together
- If the horizontal width of the eyes is narrow, making them look closed-in
- If the eyes are close together, making medial epicanthoplasty impossible
- If you did not see results from medial epicanthoplasty
- When the outer eye corners are upturned, making the eyes look fierce
4. Medial Epicanthoplasty
Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery’s medial epicanthoplasty differs from conventional medial epicanthoplasty, using an inner incision so scars are
less of a burden. In addition, the upper eyelid is minimally incised and the Mongolian fold is released, widening not only the horizontal width
but also the vertical width, aiming for larger, more 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 closed-in and sharp impression
can be expected to become more open and gentle.
When Medial Epicanthoplasty Designed to Reduce the Scar Burden Is Needed
- If the horizontal width of the eyes is narrow
- If Mongolian folds make the space between the eyes look wide
- If the front part of the eyes slopes down sharply, making the impression look sharp
- If you want even more open-looking eyes by combining it with double eyelid surgery
- If 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 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 lengthening the horizontal width of the eyes,
and a more open, softer eye shape and impression can be expected.
Because canthoplasty is highly preferred for the way it can change how one’s impression looks,
you can look through reviews of posterior-lower canthoplasty, but it is important to consult thoroughly with experienced medical professionals
on whether the method is right for you before proceeding. In addition, after a 1:1 personalized consultation with medical staff experienced in eye surgery, your eye structure,
shape, and facial proportions should be considered when planning your canthoplasty.
