Dual Epicanthoplasty and Canthoplasty Reviews: How to Improve Small, Constricted-Looking Eyes
Hello, this is Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery. A small or constricted-looking eye shape is one of the concerns many people feel is difficult to correct with makeup alone. Especially for East Asians, the epicanthal fold often covers the inner corner of the eye, and the horizontal length of the eye itself is often short, so double eyelid surgery alone may not produce satisfying results. For this reason, more people who initially considered double eyelid surgery are ultimately choosing dual canthoplasty because they want clearer, more open-looking eyes. Dual canthoplasty aims to make the eyes look softer yet more defined, and the degree of change depends on each person’s eye structure.
Dual canthoplasty is a combined eye surgery that performs medial epicanthoplasty and lateral canthoplasty together, or lateral canthoplasty and lower canthoplasty together, expanding both the horizontal and vertical proportions of the eyes at the same time. It is considered a highly effective option for those whose eyes are naturally small or who still lack an open, refreshed look even with double eyelids. Many patients who visit our clinic have already had double eyelid surgery but still feel their impression looks unclear, or they are concerned that their eyes look too sharp. In these cases, dual canthoplasty can help improve the overall impression by naturally widening the eye shape in harmony with the face shape and facial features.
The surgical method varies depending on each person’s eye condition, and when lateral canthoplasty and lower canthoplasty are performed together, the outer corner of the eye can be gently extended while emphasizing a more open look. In particular, lateral canthoplasty naturally lengthens the outer corner to increase the horizontal width, while lower canthoplasty expands the eye shape downward, aiming to make the eyes appear larger and give a softer impression. When the proportions of the eyes are improved through these procedures, the result is not simply larger eyes, but also better overall facial harmony.
However, canthoplasty should not be approached with the idea that ‘the more it is opened, the better.’ It must be performed after accurately assessing each person’s facial bone structure and eye anatomy. Excessive canthoplasty can leave side effects such as separation of the outer eye corner or scarring. At Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery, based on extensive clinical experience, we closely analyze each patient’s face shape, eye proportions, and skin thickness to propose the most suitable canthoplasty design. Many people look up dual canthoplasty reviews, but it is also worth remembering that detailed consultation and the design process before surgery have a major impact on the outcome.
In addition, lower canthoplasty can be performed through a conjunctival approach, which can reduce the scar burden on the skin side. The angle at which the outer corner is lowered can also be precisely controlled, so a naturally refined impression without an artificial look can be expected. Because the eyes are a central feature of the face, even small changes can have a major effect on the overall image. Therefore, if you are considering surgery after reading dual canthoplasty reviews, a thorough consultation with an experienced medical team should come first, and it is also important to receive guidance on recovery and aftercare after surgery.
If you have always relied on makeup because your eyes look small or constricted, or if you lose confidence every time you take photos, dual canthoplasty is an option well worth considering. Dual canthoplasty reviews can be a useful reference, but checking similar cases and your surgical plan at a consultation can help you make a more objective decision.
