Exploring Private Plastic Surgery's Lateral Canthoplasty

Exploring Private Plastic Surgery's Lateral Canthoplasty

The eyes significantly influence one's overall facial impression, leading many to consider eye surgery due to concerns about eye size, shape, or appearance.

Especially if your eyes appear constricted due to short vertical or horizontal length, or if the angle of your outer corners creates a strong impression, you might consider canthoplasty to alter your eye shape.

Canthoplasty is not performed using a single method; rather, it can be divided into various techniques such as epicanthoplasty, upper canthoplasty, lateral canthoplasty, and lower canthoplasty, depending on the individual's eye shape and overall facial balance.

Today, with Private Plastic Surgery, we will explore the characteristics of each canthoplasty procedure and in which cases Private Plastic Surgery's lateral canthoplasty might be considered.

When planning canthoplasty, it's crucial to comprehensively examine the current eye shape, double eyelid line, pupil position, and the degree of scleral exposure, rather than simply aiming for larger eyes.

Epicanthoplasty is a method to improve the Mongolian fold that covers the inner corner of the eye. It can be considered if the Mongolian fold makes the inner corner appear constricted or if the distance between the eyes seems relatively wide, allowing for a more refreshed impression by opening the inner eye space.

Upper canthoplasty is a method to improve the vertical length of the eye, focusing on the upper direction of the inner corner. It can be considered depending on the individual's eye shape if the inner corner appears constricted or if the front part of the double eyelid line does not connect naturally.

Lateral canthoplasty is a surgery aimed at increasing the horizontal length of the eye by improving the outer corner of the eye. It can be considered if the horizontal length of the eye is short, making the eyes appear relatively constricted, or if the eyes seem small compared to the face. The overall impression of the eye shape can change depending on the shape and position of the outer corner.

Lower canthoplasty is a method to improve the vertical length of the eye by adjusting the outer lower part of the eye. It can be considered depending on the individual's eye shape if the outer corners are upturned, giving a somewhat sharp or strong impression.

So, in what cases can Private Plastic Surgery's lateral canthoplasty be considered?

Lateral canthoplasty can be decided after assessing the individual's condition, such as when the horizontal length of the eye is short, making it appear constricted, or when one wishes to improve the shape of the outer corner, or when the eyes appear small compared to the overall facial proportions.

Furthermore, eyes with upturned outer corners that look fierce, eyes with a wide space between the eyebrows that look plain, or eyes that appear constricted due to Mongolian folds or where the front part of the double eyelid line is not clearly visible, can expect improvement through a combination of canthoplasty procedures, including epicanthoplasty, upper canthoplasty, and lower canthoplasty.

However, since even small changes to the eyes can alter the overall impression, it's necessary to thoroughly check one's eye shape, double eyelid line, outer corner angle, and left-right balance, rather than simply aiming for larger eyes.

Private Plastic Surgery's canthoplasty plans are based on the individual's eye shape and overall facial balance, comprehensively checking the thickness and position of the double eyelid line, and the degree of pupil and scleral exposure.

Additionally, two chief surgeons with years of experience personally conduct 1:1 customized consultations and treatments, operating a surgical environment equipped with a positive pressure ventilation system and CCTV in the operating room.

Since even a small difference in eye shape can affect the overall image, it's important to carefully check your current eye condition and find a method suitable for you, rather than determining the surgical method based on uniform standards.

Please thoroughly understand the characteristics of each procedure, from epicanthoplasty to upper canthoplasty, lateral canthoplasty, and lower canthoplasty, and plan an eye shape that suits you.
