Hyundai Aesthetics' Lower Canthoplasty

Lower canthoplasty result model by Hyundai Aesthetics — dimensional, larger-looking eyes
01Dimensional, larger-looking eyes
02Minimal scarring
03A softer-looking impression

Hyundai Aesthetics lower canthoplasty lowers the lower eyelid at the 1/3 point of the lower eyelid below the outer part of the iris, creating a softer eye shape. Depending on each patient's eye condition, it can extend the horizontal length of the eyes and lower the outer corners to soften the eye angle, creating a gentle, mild-looking eye shape.

※ After surgery or treatment, complications that may commonly occur depending on the individual, such as bleeding, infection, and inflammation, may occur, so caution is required.

When Lower Canthoplasty Is Needed

CASE 01When the outer corners are raised, creating a sharp-looking impression
CASE 02When the upper-to-lower width of the iris appears short
CASE 03When narrow eye width makes the eyes look closed-off
CASE 04When you are still unsatisfied after epicanthoplasty or lateral canthoplasty
CASE 05When the eyes appear pulled inward after epicanthoplasty
CHECK POINT!

This procedure enlarges the vertical height of the eyes, transforming a closed-off, heavy-looking eye shape into a more open, larger, and defined appearance. It increases pupil exposure and can help create a softer image.

Hyundai Aesthetics' Lower Canthoplasty Process

01Lower canthoplasty step 1 — designing the suitable outer eye corner

Before surgery, we design the most suitable outer eye corner for the patient.

After making an incision inside the conjunctiva, the outer 1/3 is lowered and fixed to the periosteum.

The incision is sutured so scars are not visible.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are treatment costs at Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery Clinic in Gangnam communicated?

Treatment costs at Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery Clinic in Gangnam vary depending on the area, extent, options, and anesthesia method. An accurate estimate is provided through a free one-on-one consultation. We prioritize a personalized quote tailored to each patient's diagnostic results, rather than comparison quotes or promotional prices.

How long does recovery take?

Generally, swelling and bruising subside within 1–2 weeks, and the natural final result settles in after 2–3 months. Non-incisional and minimal-incision methods have a shorter downtime, while incisional and revision surgery can take somewhat longer to recover. We provide the precise recovery schedule for each procedure during your consultation.

How can I get a consultation at Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery Clinic in Gangnam?

You can visit our main clinic on Dosan-daero in Gangnam for an in-person consultation, or have a remote consultation by phone, KakaoTalk, or online form. Through a free one-on-one consultation, we provide comprehensive guidance covering diagnosis, treatment options, an estimate, and the expected recovery schedule. In accordance with Article 56 of Korea's Medical Service Act, reviews and before-and-after materials are provided only on the basis of prior consent.

Can I see before-and-after photos in advance?

In accordance with the advertising provisions of Article 56 of Korea's Medical Service Act, before-and-after cases may be viewed for medical purposes only by patients who have given prior consent and attended an in-person consultation. Publicly available materials are limited to de-identified cases for which consent has been completed. Detailed cases are explained directly by our medical staff during your consultation.

How are post-surgery side effects and aftercare handled?

Every surgery carries some possibility of side effects. Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery Clinic in Gangnam monitors recovery-phase symptoms such as swelling, bruising, tightness, and a foreign-body sensation through a post-surgery regular check-up and care system (the Mihak Care System). We operate a 24-hour emergency contact line and an aftercare program.

Which is better for double eyelid surgery in Gangnam — non-incisional or incisional?

It depends on your eyelid thickness, skin laxity, and amount of fat. If the skin is thin with little fat, a non-incisional method (buried suture or natural-adhesion) is preferred; if there is skin sagging or excess fat, an incisional or partial-incision method is recommended. Our Gangnam clinic's Ten-Minute Natural-Adhesion double eyelid is a non-incisional-based option with fast recovery.

Can ptosis be corrected at the same time?

Ptosis correction (eye-shape correction) can be performed together with double eyelid surgery. When a drooping upper eyelid covers the pupil, eye-shape correction can create a brighter, more defined impression. We explain simultaneous options such as our Gangnam Big Eye canthoplasty during your consultation.

Is revision eye surgery also possible?

Issues such as asymmetry, multiple lines, or faded lines after a previous double eyelid surgery or epicanthoplasty can be corrected with revision surgery. At our Gangnam Hyundai Aesthetic clinic, revision eye surgery begins by assessing your existing scarring and adhesion, then recommends the most suitable approach among non-incisional, incisional, or combined correction.
