Refresh narrow, clam-like eyes with a dual canthoplasty
We call eyes that look heavy or small “clam-like eyes.”
People with small eyes may appear to have a heavy or closed-off image,
and dual canthoplasty can help improve them into clearer, more open-looking eyes.
The eyes are also the first area people notice when meeting face to face,
and because even a small change can make one’s impression look different, many people
consider canthoplasty when they have insecurities about their eyes.
Canthoplasty may be considered when the space between the eyes is wide or the eye width is narrow,
or when double-eyelid surgery was performed to improve eye size but the result still feels unsatisfactory,
and many people look into it when they want to create a softer impression from sharp-looking eyes.
Before undergoing canthoplasty, it is important to understand your own eye shape,
and rather than simply following trends or aiming only for large eyes,
you need a clinic that designs the procedure while preserving your individuality.
With canthoplasty, even 1 mm can easily change the overall image, so it is best to review it very carefully before proceeding.
Canthoplasty is divided into medial epicanthoplasty, lower canthoplasty, lateral canthoplasty, and dual canthoplasty,
and because each person has a different desired shape and eye impression, the procedure is performed as a customized improvement accordingly.
Shall we take a look at which canthoplasty options may suit you?
1. Lower canthoplasty
Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery’s lower canthoplasty targets the lower eyelid at the outer area below the iris, around one-third from the lower eyelid margin,
and lowers the eyelid, aiming for a softer eye shape.
Depending on the individual eye condition, it can lengthen the horizontal width of the eyes and lower the outer corners,
making the eye slope gentler, so a soft, kind-looking impression can be expected.
Cases that may require lower canthoplasty
- When the outer corners of the eyes are upturned, making the eyes 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 you are still not satisfied after medial or lateral canthoplasty
- When the eyes appear too close together after medial epicanthoplasty
Lower canthoplasty widens the vertical length of the eyes to make them appear larger, aiming to turn a heavy, blocked-looking
eye shape into a wide-open, larger, and clearer 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 for eyes with a short horizontal length and slightly upturned outer corners.
It opens the closed-looking outer corner through an incision and fixes 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 that may require adhesion-prevention lateral canthoplasty
- Eyes that appear pulled inward toward the center
- When upturned outer corners make the overall impression look strong
- When previous lateral canthoplasty has reattached
- When the horizontal width of the eyes is narrow, making them look closed-off
- When you want large, bright-looking eyes
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 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 long, bright-looking eyes 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, brighter-looking eyes.
It is an eye surgery meant to give sharp and fierce-looking eyes a gentler impression, using canthoplasty
with the aim of a softer, more open look.
Candidates for Dual Canthoplasty
- When the eyes look too close together because the space between the brows is narrow
- When the horizontal width of the eyes is narrow, making the eyes look confined
- When epicanthoplasty is not possible because the eyes are close together
- When you did not see results from epicanthoplasty
- When the outer corners of the eyes are upturned, 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 of a burden. It also makes a minimal incision in the upper eyelid and releases the Mongolian fold, widening not only the horizontal
but also the vertical dimension, aiming for large, bright-looking eyes.
Because swelling and the scar burden are relatively low, returning to daily life tends to be less of a burden, and a stuffy and sharp impression
can be expected to become brighter and softer.
When Scar-Minimizing Epicanthoplasty 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 of the eyes slopes downward to a point, making the impression look sharp
- When you want an even more open eye shape 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 part of the eye
and suturing from the inside, so the scar burden tends to be lower, while lengthening the horizontal eye width.
A bright, soft eye shape and overall impression can be expected.
Eye-opening surgery is highly preferred because it can change how one’s impression looks,
so you can look through reviews of posterior and lower canthoplasty, but it is important to consult thoroughly with specialized medical staff
experienced in eye surgery about whether the method suits you before proceeding. After a one-on-one customized consultation with an experienced specialist, your eye structure,
shape, and facial proportions should be considered when planning your canthoplasty.
If you are looking into Gangnam posterior canthoplasty reviews and searching for a clinic skilled in eye-opening surgery,
consult Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery to receive detailed guidance on the recovery care process.
We invite you to come in for a consultation.
