I was curious about before-and-after photos for small, closed-looking eyes.
The eyes are one of the key features that determine a first impression.
For this reason, eye surgeries such as double eyelid surgery, ptosis correction, and canthoplasty are receiving a great deal of interest.
Among them, today we will take a closer look at canthoplasty.
People who look into canthoplasty are often likely to have small, closed-looking eyes.
Small, closed-looking eyes generally refer to eyes that are somewhat smaller than others, or eyes where the inner and outer corners are not opened up,
making them appear blocked or closed off.
If there is a limit to making the eyes look larger simply by creating double eyelids, canthoplasty can help
improve a stuffy-looking eye shape into a more open and refreshing appearance.
Recently, as mask-wearing has increased the amount of attention drawn to the eyes,
the eyes have come to play an important role in determining first impressions, so many people may feel that their complex about small, closed-looking eyes
has become more noticeable.
We do not recommend surgery simply because someone has small, closed-looking eyes.
However, if your current eyes are not the eyes you want and are accompanied by functional discomfort,
it may be worth considering improvement.
For canthoplasty, it is advisable to check whether the procedure will be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon
with extensive expertise and many years of experience in eye surgery.
There are several types of canthoplasty.
Epicanthoplasty is mainly performed to improve the Mongolian fold,
while lateral canthoplasty is mainly performed to improve small, closed-looking eyes or stuffy-looking eyes.
Lower canthoplasty is also performed to improve sharp-looking eyes with upturned outer corners.
Shall we learn more about canthoplasty in detail?
1. Lower canthoplasty
First, Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery's lower canthoplasty targets the lower eyelid at the one-third point of the lower eyelid margin, outside the dark part of the eye,
and lowers the lower eyelid to create a softer eye shape.
Depending on the individual's eye condition, it lengthens the horizontal width of the eyes and lowers the outer corners to make the eye slant gentler,
creating a softer and kinder-looking eye shape.
Cases where lower canthoplasty may be needed
1. When the outer corners of the eyes are upturned, making the eyes look sharp
2. When the vertical width above and below the pupil is short
3. When the horizontal width of the eyes is narrow, making them look stuffy
4. When you are not satisfied even after epicanthoplasty or lateral canthoplasty
5. When the eyes look too close together after epicanthoplasty
Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery's lower canthoplasty is a procedure that enlarges the eyes by increasing their vertical length,
transforming a stuffy, closed-looking eye shape into large, open, and distinct eyes,
and it can improve the overall image to appear softer by increasing pupil exposure.
2. Lateral canthoplasty
Second, Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery's adhesion-prevention lateral canthoplasty is a canthoplasty procedure performed when the horizontal length of the eyes is short and slightly upturned.
It opens the stuffy, closed-looking outer corner of the eye through an incision and fixes it to the outer
periosteum, thereby improving and extending the horizontal length of the eye.
When adhesion-prevention lateral canthoplasty is needed
1. When both eyes appear to be set too close toward the center
2. When the outer corners of the eyes are upturned, making the impression look strong
3. When a previous lateral canthoplasty has reattached
4. When the horizontal width of the eyes is narrow, making them look closed-in
5. When you want larger, more open-looking eyes
Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery’s lateral canthoplasty opens the outer corners of the eyes when they are upturned and make the impression look sharp, helping create a more
gentle, kind, and soft impression, while extending the outer corners outward
so the horizontal length of the eyes appears longer, improving them into long, open-looking eyes.
3. Epicanthoplasty
Third, Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery’s scarless epicanthoplasty differs from conventional epicanthoplasty by using an inner incision so scars are barely visible,
with minimal incision of the upper eyelid and release of the Mongolian fold, widening not only the horizontal width but also the vertical width
to create larger, more open-looking eyes, making it a highly satisfying procedure.
When scarless epicanthoplasty is needed
1. When the horizontal width of the eyes is narrow
2. When Mongolian folds make the space between the eyes look wide
3. When the front of the eyes slopes down sharply, making the impression look sharp
4. When you want an even more open-looking eye shape together with double-eyelid surgery
5. When you want epicanthoplasty without visible scarring
Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery’s epicanthoplasty is a surgical method that improves on the drawback of conventional epicanthoplasty, which often left scars,
by making an incision on the inner front of the eye and suturing from the inside, resulting in less scarring while lengthening the horizontal width of the eyes
to improve the eyes and overall impression into a more open and softer look.
Small, narrow-eye canthoplasty is a highly difficult procedure, so having it performed by medical staff with extensive experience in eye surgery
can bring you one step closer to a successful result.
The medical team at Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery has performed eye surgery for countless patients over many years
and has abundant expertise, helping provide eyes that naturally harmonize with each client’s face.
In addition, Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery does not simply focus only on the shape of the eyes.
We carefully analyze many factors first, including skin condition, muscle strength, the structure and depth of the eyeballs, bone structure, degree of eye protrusion, and
overall facial harmony, before proceeding with surgery.
Because postoperative care is also a very important part of the process, we have established a systematic aftercare system
to reduce clients’ discomfort as much as possible after eye surgery,
and Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery is doing its utmost to support and assist you.
