Creating brighter, wider-looking eyes by reducing epicanthal folds with full canthoplasty
Hello, this is Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery. The epicanthoplasty performed at Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery is a procedure that effectively improves epicanthal folds, helping the eyes look larger and more open. Many Asian patients are concerned about epicanthal folds affecting the appearance of their eyes; an epicanthal fold refers to the fold of skin covering the inner corner of the eyelid. When this fold is thick, the eyes can look smaller and the distance between the eyes may appear wider, creating a somewhat heavy or closed-off impression. Epicanthoplasty is the procedure designed to address these concerns, improving both the size and overall impression of the eyes.
Epicanthoplasty involves less skin incision than many people expect. Although many assume that a large amount of skin must be removed, in reality, skin removal is minimized, and the procedure is performed by repositioning the fold as if unfolding it to reduce the epicanthal fold. This surgical approach not only makes the eyes appear larger, but also creates a natural and refined eye shape. Epicanthoplasty is often performed together with double-eyelid surgery, because it helps define the inner eye line more beautifully. Since the inner eye line is strongly affected by the epicanthal fold, adjusting it through epicanthoplasty can create a more attractive eye shape.
If you would like your eyes to look even larger, full canthoplasty may be considered. This procedure enhances the overall size of the eyes and can not only reduce epicanthal folds but also correct the outer corners of the eyes. By making the inner corners of the eyes look more open through surgery, the overall impression becomes more balanced and defined. In this way, improving eye size through surgery is not simply about making the eyes larger; it is also very helpful for finely adjusting the shape of the eyes.
Full canthoplasty is also effective when the eyes look sharp or have a narrow vertical height. In such cases, lateral canthoplasty can be performed to improve the outer corners and the overall eye shape. When lateral canthoplasty is performed together, the eyes can appear even larger, and the outer corners are corrected naturally, creating a softer and more harmonious overall eye appearance. This helps emphasize natural beauty that makes the eyes look larger without appearing excessive.
Recently, techniques have been developed to minimize concerns such as visible scars or redness after full canthoplasty. At Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery, we minimize incisions and perform surgery with a design tailored to each face so that scars are less noticeable. In addition, incisions are made inside the skin and conjunctiva, reducing concern about scarring, while swelling and pain are minimized for a faster recovery. As a result, patients can return to daily life more quickly and enjoy beautiful eyes without ongoing worries about postoperative scars. Not everyone needs full canthoplasty when undergoing double-eyelid surgery, but for many Asian patients, combining double-eyelid surgery with epicanthoplasty often creates a more beautiful eye shape. When double-eyelid surgery and epicanthoplasty are performed together, the eyes can look larger and more open, while creating an overall balanced impression, which is why many patients choose both procedures together. However, whether epicanthoplasty is necessary depends on each person’s eye structure and desired outcome, so it is important to decide after a thorough consultation with a specialist.
If you are considering full canthoplasty, it is advisable to consult with a clinic that has extensive experience treating a wide variety of eye shapes. With expert guidance, you can choose the most suitable surgical method for your eyes and create a natural, beautiful eye appearance. At Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery, we strive to provide the best possible results by considering each individual’s characteristics and the overall harmony of the face.
