Hospitals that are good at epicanthoplasty: what to check when choosing
If the distance between the eyes is usually wide,
or if you have a stuffy-looking impression due to Mongolian folds,
you may want to improve your eyes so they look larger and more open than your original eye shape.
To improve small-looking eyes into a more open eye shape,
you may look into hospitals that are good at epicanthoplasty.
Epicanthoplasty improves eyes that look closed off due to Mongolian folds
and is a method that aims for a clearer, more open eye shape.
Because even a small change to the eyes can make a big difference in your overall image,
it is best to accurately identify which method suits you before proceeding.
Since each person’s eye condition and shape are different, a place is needed that can provide a line that suits each individual
along with various solutions.
Rather than improving the eyes with a design based only on trends, it is better to preserve your individuality
while correcting the areas you want to improve.
Then let’s take a look at which canthoplasty methods may be suitable for you.
1. Lower canthoplasty
Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery’s lower canthoplasty targets the lower outer area of the eyelid, around the lower one-third point below the outer part of the dark iris,
and gently lowers the lower eyelid, aiming for a softer eye shape.
Depending on the individual eye condition, it can increase the horizontal length of the eyes and lower the outer corners,
making the eye angle gentler, with the aim of a soft, kind-looking eye shape.
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 closed off
- When you are not satisfied even after epicanthoplasty or lateral canthoplasty
- When the eyes look too close together after epicanthoplasty
Lower canthoplasty is a procedure that enlarges the vertical length of the eyes, increasing their size, and for eyes that look closed or blocked,
it aims for a more open, larger, and clearer eye shape. It increases 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 raised.
It opens the closed-looking outer corner of the eye through an incision and fixes it to the outer periosteum,
with the aim of extending 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 to be positioned too close together toward the center
- When raised outer corners make the impression look strong
- When the outer corner has reattached after 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 raised outer corners make the impression look fierce, opening the outer corners can help create a gentler appearance while
aiming for a kind, soft impression. By extending the outer corners of the eyes outward,
it makes the horizontal length of the eyes appear longer, with the aim of a long, open-looking eye shape.
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 as an eye surgery that seeks to soften sharp, fierce-looking eyes, it uses canthoplasty
with the aim of a softer and more refreshed look.
Who Is Dual Canthoplasty For?
- When the eyes look too close together because the space between the eyebrows is narrow
- When the eyes look stuffy because the horizontal width of the eyes is narrow
- When epicanthoplasty is not possible because the eyes are close together
- When previous epicanthoplasty did not produce the desired effect
- 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 by using an inner incision, making scars
less of a burden. In addition, by making a minimal incision in the upper eyelid and releasing the Mongolian fold, it widens 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, the burden of returning to daily life also tends to be low, and a stuffy, sharp impression
can be expected to change into a more open and gentle one.
When Epicanthoplasty Designed to Reduce the Scar Burden Is Needed
- When the horizontal width of the eyes is narrow
- When the space between the eyes looks wide due to Mongolian folds
- When the front part of the eyes 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 epicanthoplasty with a reduced scar burden
This surgical method is meant to ease the scar burden of conventional epicanthoplasty. It makes an incision on the inner front part of the eye
and sutures from the inside, so the scar burden tends to be lower, while lengthening the horizontal eye line
so a more open, softer 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 into reviews of posterior and lower canthoplasty, it is important to proceed only after a thorough consultation with specialized medical staff about whether the method suits you.
Also, after a one-on-one customized consultation with medical professionals highly experienced in eye surgery, your eye structure,
shape, and facial proportions should be considered when planning canthoplasty.
If you are looking into hospitals known for epicanthoplasty and searching for a place that performs eye-opening surgery well,
consult Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery to receive detailed guidance on the recovery care process.
