Epicanthoplasty and Canthoplasty: What to Check for Eye Harmony
Hello, this is Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery. Epicanthoplasty and canthoplasty are procedures that aim to soften the impression of the entire face along with the size of the eyes. Many people want to improve the impression of small eyes that may look closed-off or sharp, and this surgery is an option that can be considered in such cases. However, it is not a procedure that can be recommended unconditionally for everyone, so an accurate analysis of each person’s eye structure and face shape must come first in order to achieve good results. In particular, because outcomes can vary depending on the direction of the outer corners of the eyes, skin elasticity, and whether ptosis is present, a precise diagnosis by medical professionals is very important.
At Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery, we create a customized plan that considers eye size along with the distance between the eyes and eyebrows, the flow of the eye shape, and harmony with the double-eyelid line. In particular, we carefully adjust the direction and angle of the canthoplasty area, aiming for eyes that look naturally larger. This is also why we design the overall proportions first rather than widening the incision area. The procedure is also popular among office workers and job seekers who want a softer impression or a better first impression.
Some patients visit the clinic for a second consultation because they previously had canthoplasty but saw only minimal results, or feel that their eyes have become more unnatural. If the canthoplasty area has been opened excessively or scarring remains, restoration surgery may be necessary, and in such cases it is classified as a highly difficult procedure rather than a simple revision surgery. Especially when the proportions of the eyes have been disrupted, restoring them naturally is not easy, so it is very important to receive epicanthoplasty or canthoplasty at an experienced clinic from the beginning. At Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery, our medical team, which has built its know-how through extensive eye surgery experience, performs the surgery directly.
When considering epicanthoplasty or canthoplasty, what many people worry about most is how natural the result will look after surgery. Because an artificial impression or excessive change can instead diminish one’s own charm, accurately identifying which type of canthoplasty is needed is key. Determining which combination of medial epicanthoplasty, lateral canthoplasty, and lower canthoplasty will be effective is a highly advanced design process that must reflect not only eye size, but also the overall proportions and harmony of the face, as well as individuality. When choosing a clinic, you should carefully check whether it has not only surgical experience, but also this sense of design and strong communication skills.
At Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery, we understand each patient’s eye structure and desired image through thorough consultation, then design epicanthoplasty and canthoplasty in a way that enhances the individual’s natural charm. After surgery, we place incision lines to minimize visible scarring as much as possible, and provide a care system that helps reduce swelling and pain during recovery. We also use endoscopic equipment and fine suturing techniques to help shorten the recovery period. We approach each patient’s surgery with the same care and caution as we would for our own family.
The eyes are where attention first rests on the face, and even a very small change can alter one’s overall mood. For this reason, epicanthoplasty and canthoplasty can be described as precise surgeries that “touch only as much as needed.” If you are often told that your impression looks cold or closed-off, it may be worthwhile to consider eye-shape improvement through consultation with a specialist.
