Hello,

I am Dr. Park Jeong-geun,

Director of Faceplus Plastic Surgery Clinic,

specializing in canthus thread lifts.

Whether your eyes appear clear or tired often comes down to a small

difference in angle.

Among these, the direction of the outer canthus is a key factor that

determines the overall impression of your face.

If this area sags or points downwards, you might look more tired than your actual age,

or appear to have a sharp impression, contrary to your intention.

For these reasons, those who are hesitant about incisional surgery consider

non-incisional lifting procedures to refine the outer eye line.

However, if this procedure is approached with the simple concept of just pulling upwards,

there can be a discrepancy between expectations and results.

This is because the perceived change varies depending on the eye's surrounding structure,

skin elasticity, and even facial expression habits.

What is the principle of eyelid correction with outer canthus improvement procedures?

This method is not an approach that merely lifts the skin surface,

but rather supports the starting point of sagging to correct the direction of the eye corner.

Since threads are used to create a fixed point, and that force is used to refine the outer

line, the results can vary depending on individual structural differences.

In particular, the correction range may be limited depending on the degree of sagging

of the lower soft tissue or the pattern of muscle use when smiling.

Therefore, during the consultation phase, explanations about ‘what kind of impression change is possible’

are more important than ‘how much will it lift?’

When this process is sufficiently undergone, satisfaction with eyelid correction tends to be relatively stable.

Reasons for mixed reviews: It might not be an issue with the effectiveness itself.

The biggest reason for mixed reviews about this procedure is the difference in expectation setting.

If one believes that a non-incisional lift alone can solve a situation that requires a clear change,

the results might feel disappointing.

Conversely, when the procedure is performed after accurately being informed of the possible range

within the current structure,

there are many evaluations stating that ‘the impression was naturally refined.’

This is because it is closer to a method of refining the existing impression, rather than a surgical concept that significantly alters the outer angle.

Therefore, when looking at reviews, it's necessary to examine the consultation process and the density of explanations, rather than just the procedure itself.

Price and selection criteria: What should you consider when making a decision?

The price of a lifting procedure for outer canthus improvement can vary depending on the type of thread used, the application area, and the difficulty.

Rather than simply choosing based on cost, it is important to check how the eye's surrounding structure was evaluated and whether a post-care plan is included.

Even small changes in this area can significantly alter one's impression,

so an approach that aims for natural eye line refinement rather than excessive correction is more stable.

I hope this article helps those who are considering outer canthus improvement procedures,

comparing their effects and reviews, to organize important decision criteria beyond price.

Thank you for reading.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a canthus thread lift?

A canthus thread lift is a non-incisional lifting procedure that improves sagging or downward-sloping outer canthi, alleviating tired or sharp impressions. It works by using threads to support the starting point of sagging and correct the direction of the eye corner.

What is the principle of eyelid correction in a canthus thread lift?

A canthus thread lift does not just lift the skin surface. It works by using threads to support the starting point of sagging, thereby correcting the direction of the eye corner. This refines the outer line and induces a natural change in the eye shape.

Why are reviews for canthus thread lifts mixed?

The biggest reason for mixed reviews is the difference in expectation setting. If one believes that a non-incisional lift alone can solve a situation that requires a clear change, the results might feel disappointing. Conversely, satisfaction is high when the procedure is performed after accurately being informed of the possible range.

What factors influence the procedure's outcome?

The procedure's outcome varies depending on the individual's eye area structure, skin elasticity, and facial expression habits. In particular, the correction range can be limited by the degree of sagging of the lower soft tissue or the pattern of muscle use when smiling, making thorough consultation crucial.

What are important criteria when choosing a canthus thread lift procedure?

When choosing a procedure, rather than simply judging by cost, it is important to check how the eye's surrounding structure was evaluated and whether a post-care plan is included. An approach that aims for natural eye line refinement rather than excessive correction is more stable.
