What kind of effect can medial epicanthoplasty have?
When people meet face to face,
the eyes are what they tend to notice first, and they can be said to play
an important role in determining a first impression.
For those who have concerns about their eyes and want to make a good first impression,
it may be possible to make efforts to improve the appearance of the eyes.
Because even a small change to the eyes can create a major change in one’s overall image,
many people look into the effects of medial epicanthoplasty to improve their eyes.
When double-eyelid surgery has been performed but has not created a significant image change,
or when you want to improve small, narrow-looking eyes into a clearer, more open eye shape,
we can consider medial epicanthoplasty.
In the past, making the eyes look larger was a trend,
but recently, methods that harmonize with one’s own facial features
and enhance individual characteristics to create a natural look have been drawing attention.
Before improving the eyes,
it is important to first accurately identify the issues with your own eye shape,
and it is advisable to carefully review information and have a thorough one-on-one consultation with medical staff to discuss improvement options.
Also, because each person has different skin, fat thickness, and proportions,
it is best to seek improvement at a place that can carefully check these factors and suggest the right solution.
Shall we look at how canthoplasty procedures are performed?
1. Lower canthoplasty
Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery’s lower canthoplasty targets the lower outer area of the black iris, at about the outer one-third of the lower eyelid margin,
and lowers the lower eyelid to create a softer eye shape.
Depending on each person’s eye condition, it lengthens the horizontal width of the eyes and lowers the outer corners to reduce the upward slant,
helping create a softer and gentler eye shape.
Cases where lower canthoplasty may be needed
- When the outer corners of the eyes are raised, making the impression look sharp or fierce
- When the vertical width above and below the iris is short
- When the horizontal width of the eyes is narrow, making them look closed or stuffy
- When you are not satisfied even after medial or lateral canthoplasty
- When the eyes appear too close together after medial epicanthoplasty
Lower canthoplasty is a procedure that increases the vertical length of the eyes to make them appear larger,
transforming a closed, restricted-looking eye shape into open, large, and defined eyes while increasing iris exposure
and helping create a softer image.
2. Lateral canthoplasty
Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery’s adhesion-prevention lateral canthoplasty is performed when the horizontal length of the eyes is short and the outer corners are slightly raised.
This canthoplasty procedure opens the closed-looking outer corner of the eye through an incision and fixes it to the outer periosteum,
thereby improving the eyes by expanding their horizontal length.
By using dissolvable sutures on the inside of the eyelid, it also helps patients return to daily life quickly.
Cases where adhesion-prevention lateral canthoplasty may be needed
- Eyes that appear to be set too close together toward the inner corners
- When the outer corners of the eyes are lifted, making the impression look strong
- When the patient has had lateral canthoplasty but the area has reattached
- When the horizontal width of the eyes is narrow, making them look closed or stuffy
- When the patient wants larger, more open-looking eyes
When the outer corners of the eyes are lifted and make the impression look sharp, opening the outer corners can create a gentler look
and improve the impression to appear kind and soft. Because the outer corners of the eyes are extended outward,
the horizontal length of the eyes also appears longer, improving them into long, open-looking eyes.
3. Dual Canthoplasty
Dual canthoplasty at Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery increases both the horizontal and vertical dimensions of the eyes, creating larger, more open-looking eyes.
As an image-enhancing eye surgery that softens sharp and fierce-looking eyes, it effectively improves the eye shape
through canthoplasty, creating a softer and more open-looking eye appearance.
Candidates for Dual Canthoplasty
- When the space between the eyebrows is narrow and the eyes appear close together
- When the horizontal width of the eyes is narrow and the eyes look closed-in
- When medial epicanthoplasty is not possible because the eyes are close together
- When medial epicanthoplasty did not produce the desired effect
- When the outer corners of the eyes are raised, making the impression look sharp or fierce
4. Scarless Medial Epicanthoplasty
Unlike conventional medial epicanthoplasty, scarless medial epicanthoplasty at Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery uses an inner incision, so scars are barely
visible. In addition, it involves minimal incision of the upper eyelid and releases the Mongolian fold, widening not only the horizontal
but also the vertical dimension to create larger, more open-looking eyes, resulting in high satisfaction.
With less swelling and scarring, patients can return to daily life right away, allowing a closed-in and sharp impression
to be changed into a clearer, softer one.
When Scarless Medial Epicanthoplasty Is Needed
- When the horizontal width of the eyes is narrow
- When the space between the eyes appears wide due to Mongolian folds
- When the front part of the eyes slopes down sharply, making the impression look sharp
- When the patient wants even more open-looking eyes by combining it with double eyelid surgery
- When the patient wants medial epicanthoplasty without visible scarring
This surgical method improves on the shortcomings of conventional medial 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 eye line
so patients can achieve clearer, softer-looking eyes and a softer impression.
Canthoplasty is highly preferred because it can change the image noticeably,
so it is important to visit a clinic skilled in canthoplasty that is suitable for you and proceed with experienced medical professionals.
In addition, after a one-on-one customized consultation with medical professionals experienced in eye surgery, your eye structure,
shape, facial proportions, and other factors should be considered to achieve a satisfying canthoplasty result and improve your impression.
