When Considering Epicanthoplasty
Recently, as people are wearing masks at all times,
more and more people are becoming interested in improving the appearance of their eyes.
To help improve complexes about their own eyes,
many people look into epicanthoplasty.
Canthoplasty may be considered by those who want their eyes to look less closed-off,
and appear more open and defined.
Because even a small change to the eyes can create a major change in one’s overall image,
it is important to carefully understand information about canthoplasty before proceeding.
Epicanthoplasty is suitable when the Mongolian fold at the inner corner of the eye is severe,
as the inner corner can appear closed-off; by slightly opening the front of the eye,
the eyes can be improved to look clearer and more open.
Other improvement methods include lower canthoplasty, lateral canthoplasty, and dual canthoplasty.
Since each individual has different eye shapes and forms,
it is important to consider these factors and design and improve the eyes according to the points that are suitable for each person.
Then, shall we take a look at how canthoplasty is performed?
1. Lower Canthoplasty
Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery’s lower canthoplasty targets the lower eyelid at the outer lower area of the iris, around one-third from the outer edge of the lower eyelid,
and lowers the lower eyelid to create a softer-looking eye shape.
Depending on each person’s eye condition, it lengthens the horizontal width of the eyes and lowers the outer corners,
softening the eye slant to create a gentler and kinder-looking eye shape.
Cases where lower canthoplasty may be needed
- When the outer corners of the eyes are lifted, making the impression look sharp
- When the vertical width above and below the iris is short
- When the eyes look closed-off because the horizontal width is narrow
- When one is not satisfied even after epicanthoplasty or lateral canthoplasty
- When the eyes appear too close together after epicanthoplasty
Lower canthoplasty is a procedure that enlarges the eyes by increasing their vertical length, improving a closed and restricted-looking
eye shape into larger, more open, and clearer eyes, while increasing pupil 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 lifted.
This canthoplasty opens the closed-looking outer corner of the eye through an incision and fixes it to the outer periosteum,
thereby improving the eyes by extending their horizontal length.
By suturing the inside of the eyelid with dissolvable threads, it also helps patients return to daily life quickly.
Cases where adhesion-prevention lateral canthoplasty may be needed
- Eyes that appear too close together toward the center
- When the outer corners of the eyes are lifted, making the impression look strong
- When previous lateral canthoplasty has reattached
- When the eyes look closed-off because the horizontal width is narrow
- When one wants larger, more open-looking eyes
If the outer corners of the eyes are raised and make the impression look sharp, opening the outer corners can create a gentler look while
improving the appearance to a kind and soft impression. Because it extends the outer corners of the eyes outward,
it also makes the horizontal length of the eyes appear longer, improving them into long, clear-looking eyes.
3. Dual Canthoplasty
Dual canthoplasty at Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery increases both the horizontal and vertical width of the eyes at the same time, creating larger, clearer-looking eyes,
and is an image-enhancing eye surgery that softens a sleek, sharp eye shape. Through canthoplasty, it effectively
improves the eye shape, creating softer and more refreshed-looking eyes.
Ideal Candidates for Dual Canthoplasty
- When the space between the eyes is narrow, making the eyes look close together
- When the horizontal width of the eyes is narrow, making them look constricted
- When the eyes are close together and medial epicanthoplasty is not possible
- When medial epicanthoplasty did not produce sufficient results
- When the outer corners of the eyes are lifted, making the impression look sharp
4. Medial Epicanthoplasty
Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery's scarless medial epicanthoplasty differs from conventional medial epicanthoplasty by using an inner incision, so scars are barely
visible. In addition, it minimizes incision of the upper eyelid and releases the Mongolian fold, widening not only the horizontal width
but also the vertical width to create large, clear-looking eyes, resulting in high satisfaction,
with less swelling and scarring so patients can return to daily life right away, helping change a stuffy and sharp impression
into a clearer and 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 eye points downward sharply, making the impression look sharp
- When you want even clearer-looking eyes by combining it with double-eyelid surgery
- When you want medial epicanthoplasty with minimal visible scarring
This surgical method improves the drawback of conventional medial epicanthoplasty, which often left scars, by making an incision on the inner side at the front of the eye
and suturing from the inside, resulting in less scarring while lengthening the horizontal eye line
so you can have clear, soft-looking eyes and a gentle impression.
Because eye-opening surgery is highly preferred for its ability to create a noticeably different image,
it is important to visit a clinic with suitable reviews for posterior and lower canthoplasty and proceed with experienced medical professionals
who are right for you. Also, after a one-on-one customized consultation with medical staff experienced in eye surgery, your eye structure and
shape, as well as facial proportions and other factors, should be considered to achieve a highly satisfying canthoplasty that improves your impression.
