Shall we look at how to recover from swelling after lateral canthoplasty?
The shape of the eyes is said to be
important in determining one’s overall image.
When speaking with someone, the eyes are also the area
where the other person’s gaze tends to stay the most.
Recently, as the period of mask-wearing due to COVID-19
has become longer, attention has inevitably been drawn
to the eyes, and people who have complexes about their eyes
are said to be looking into ways to improve them.
Those who have double eyelids but have been concerned about eyes that look stuffy or closed off
may naturally be interested in canthoplasty procedures.
Canthoplasty procedures are divided into medial canthoplasty, lateral canthoplasty, and lower canthoplasty.
Medial canthoplasty can be helpful for those with a wide distance between the eyes and the glabella,
lateral canthoplasty for those with small, horizontally narrow eyes,
and lower canthoplasty for those with upturned outer eye corners.
If the outer corners of the eyes adhere again or become deformed after canthoplasty, another surgery
may need to be considered, so it is best to have sufficient consultation with medical staff
before proceeding when first looking into the procedure.
Because each person’s eye shape is different, the method of improvement
will inevitably differ as well.
Those considering canthoplasty are also said to search a lot
about swelling after lateral canthoplasty.
At a clinic skilled in lateral canthoplasty, it is best to proceed naturally
with consideration of the eye condition and individual features, while also receiving
a thorough explanation on how to reduce swelling before undergoing the procedure.
Shall we look together at lower canthoplasty and lateral canthoplasty?
1. Lower canthoplasty
Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery’s lower canthoplasty is a procedure performed at the lower eyelid margin around the outer one-third of the eyelid, near the outer part of the iris,
by lowering 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,
making the eye angle gentler and creating a softer, kinder-looking eye shape.
Cases where lower canthoplasty is needed
1. When the outer corners of the eyes are raised, making the impression look sharp
2. When the vertical width above and below the iris is short
3. When the horizontal width of the eyes is narrow, making them look stuffy
4. When results remain unsatisfactory even after medial or lateral canthoplasty
5. When the eyes appear pulled inward after medial canthoplasty
Lower canthoplasty is a procedure that increases the size of the eyes by widening their vertical length,
improving a stuffy, closed-off eye shape into a more open, larger, and clearer eye appearance,
increasing pupil exposure and helping create a softer image.
So, what does the lower canthoplasty procedure at Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery involve?
1. Before surgery, we design an eye-tail shape that suits you.
2. After making an incision in the inner conjunctiva of the eye, we lower about the outer one-third and fix it to the periosteum.
3. The incision is sutured so that scars are not visible.
4. The eyes are improved to look softer and more defined.
2. Lateral canthoplasty
Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery’s adhesion-prevention lateral canthoplasty is performed when the eyes are short horizontally and slightly upturned.
It is a canthoplasty procedure that opens the tightly closed outer corner of the eye through an incision
and fixes it to the outer periosteum, helping to extend the horizontal length of the eyes.
By suturing the inside of the eyelid with dissolvable threads, you can return to daily life more quickly.
Cases where adhesion-prevention lateral canthoplasty is needed
1. Eyes that appear to be set too close together toward the inner corners
2. When the outer corners of the eyes are raised, making the impression look strong
3. When a previous lateral canthoplasty has re-adhered
4. When the horizontal width of the eyes is narrow, making them look closed-in
5. When you want larger, more open-looking eyes
If the outer corners of the eyes are raised and make the impression look sharp, opening the eye corners can help create a more
gentle, kind, and soft impression.
Because the outer corners of the eyes are extended outward, the horizontal length of the eyes also appears longer, allowing improvement into long,
clear, open-looking eyes.
So, what does the lateral canthoplasty procedure at Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery involve?
1. Before surgery, the back of the eye corners appears closed-in and raised
2. Through diagnosis, we check how much length can be opened and then design the shape.
3. After making an incision along the possible extension length, the tissue is dissected and fixed to the periosteum at the outer canthal end of the eye corner.
4. After refining the eye shape once more, it is fixed and sutured inside the eyelid using dissolvable threads.
5. The closed-in outer eye area is opened to increase the horizontal length and create clearer, more open-looking eyes.
If lower lateral canthoplasty is performed without sufficient prior examination,
you may face unfavorable results, such as being dissatisfied with the design or the area re-adhering.
This can place you in an undesirable situation.
Therefore, when deciding on surgery for the first time, it is best to carefully consider how much surgical experience the medical team has,
whether they avoid applying a uniform design to every patient,
whether a one-on-one customized design is created by considering each person’s facial characteristics,
how much scarring may occur after surgery, and what kind of recovery care system
is separately established before proceeding with surgery.
At Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery, which has numerous canthoplasty reviews,
our medical team has performed canthoplasty procedures for many patients over many years and has built extensive expertise.
They personally design eyes that suit each client’s face,
so you can look forward to naturally prettier eyes after surgery.
