Epicanthoplasty and canthoplasty to extend the length of the eyes
Hello, this is Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery. Naturally beautiful eyes seem to be something many people want. Depending on their shape and size, a person’s eyes can create very different impressions. Since the eyes play a key role in determining first impressions, the eye shape can be considered a truly important factor. That is why many people who are not satisfied with their eye shape often think about changing it.
If the outer corners of the eyes turn upward or the horizontal length of the eyes is short, the overall impression may feel somewhat closed-off and small. In many cases, it can also give a sharp or fierce look. These features are commonly seen among many East Asians. If you have upturned, fierce-looking eyes, it is natural to be concerned about the outer corners of the eyes. This area is called the lateral canthus. For eyes that look sharp because the outer corners are raised, epicanthoplasty or canthoplasty can help soften the impression.
Compared with other eye shapes, having eyes that slant upward does not mean there is any problem with eye function. However, because the impression changes depending on the angle of the outer corners, it may lower confidence in appearance and even affect quality of life. In modern society, cosmetic surgery is no longer viewed simply as something negative; rather, many people see it as a way to improve areas they feel are lacking. Still, trends exist in every era, so it is important to find and apply a method and design that suit you in order for the eyes to look natural rather than awkward after surgery.
In the past, the focus was simply on creating large, dramatic eyes, but these days, the trend is to create eyes that are balanced overall rather than just making them bigger. Before undergoing epicanthoplasty or canthoplasty, it is helpful to clearly understand the look and direction you are pursuing. For that reason, the methods have also become more detailed. Because access to these procedures has improved, people can also find a wide range of related information and reviews. For sharp and fierce-looking eyes, among the various canthoplasty methods, many people prefer a procedure that lowers the outer corners of the eyes.
Canthoplasty that lowers the outer corners of the eyes is a method that finds and expands the hidden space of the eye, increasing the horizontal length of the eyes. This makes it possible to create a more open and refreshed eye shape than before. Lowering the outer corners can be performed through procedures such as lateral canthoplasty or lower canthoplasty by adjusting the angle. The procedure involves suturing, securing additional space and creating a more open impression.
