Changing Your First Impression with Lowering the Outer Eye Corners to Create a Gentle, Puppy-Like Face
Hello, this is Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery. At Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery, we help create a softer and more positive first impression through surgery to lower the outer corners of the eyes. Many people pay close attention to their first impression in order to leave a positive image on people they meet in daily life, and among facial features, the eyes have a major influence on a person’s overall impression. In particular, eyes with upturned outer corners or a sleepy-looking shape can give a sharp or fierce impression, so many people seek improvement. Surgery to lower the outer eye corners is a way to help improve these concerns, aiming for a more open, softer eye shape.
When performing this surgery, lateral canthoplasty and lower canthoplasty are often considered together. Lateral canthoplasty is a procedure that incises the outer side of the eye to extend its horizontal length and create a more open look, making it an option to consider when the eyes appear stuffy or small. This can help the eyes look larger and clearer and give a more positive impression. Lower canthoplasty, meanwhile, is the process of lowering the outer eye corners and is suitable for people whose upturned eye corners create a sharp impression. When lateral canthoplasty and lower canthoplasty are performed together, the aim is a longer, softer eye shape, and a natural-looking change with less of an artificial feel can be expected.
The most important point when considering surgery to lower the outer eye corners is to accurately assess the condition of your own eyes. If the eyes are protruding, even a small canthoplasty can produce a significant change, but if they are deep-set, the difference may not feel as noticeable. Therefore, before deciding on surgery, it is important to have a thorough consultation with a specialist and choose the method that is appropriate for you.
Some people who undergo this surgery may also worry that the opened area will reattach after surgery. However, at Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery, we do not simply make an incision and suture it closed; instead, we use a method that strengthens fixation by securing the area to the periosteum and fascial sheath to help prevent recurrence, allowing you to undergo surgery safely and with confidence.
Surgery to lower the outer eye corners is a method for improving a sharp impression and creating softer, kinder-looking eyes, and it can be especially beneficial for meetings or interviews where first impressions matter. Because changing the eye shape through surgery to lower the outer eye corners can help you appear more approachable and trustworthy to others, many people choose this procedure as a way to transform themselves.
Before deciding on surgery, you must consult with experienced medical professionals to clearly identify the condition of your eyes and the results you want. At Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery, we suggest surgical plans suited to each person’s eye condition through one-on-one consultations. For those who wish to experience a new change through surgery to lower the outer eye corners, our clinic strives for safe and natural-looking results.
