[Eye Surgery] 4/31 Technique Eye Surgery

Hello,

This is April 31 Plastic Surgery.

When performing double eyelid surgery,

we often combine it with corner surgery

for a clearer and more defined eye shape.

If done incorrectly, corner surgery can

make the eyes look unnatural or

cause scarring,

so an accurate surgical plan

and surgical skill are important.

Today, we will take some time

to learn about lateral canthoplasty.

What Is Lateral Canthoplasty?

4/31 Lateral Canthoplasty

If the horizontal length of the eyes is relatively shorter than the vertical height,

the eyes can give the impression of being

pulled toward the center of the face,

and in such cases, it is difficult

to improve with double eyelid surgery alone.

When both eyes appear to be drawn inward,

a lateral canthoplasty that expands

the outer corners of the eyes

helps increase the overall size of the eyes.

The overly covered outer canthus,

that is, the back part of the eye,

is improved by removing and suturing the skin and mucosa,

which increases the horizontal length of the eyes

and makes a cramped eye shape appear clearer

and deeper.

Because even a 1 mm difference in lateral canthoplasty

can create an overly burdensome eye shape,

an accurate surgical plan matched to your own eyes

and facial proportions is important.

April 31 Plastic Surgery Eye Corner Expansion Surgery

The three-directional eye corner expansion surgery

separates the lower eyelid outer canthal ligament

and fixes it in a new position,

so it is a surgical method that can

significantly enlarge both the length and width of the eyes.

By changing the direction of the eye corner ligament,

the position of the eye corner can be moved,

allowing changes in eyes that are drooping

or turned upward.

It is possible to extend beyond the depth of the conjunctival fornix,

change the position of the outer canthus,

and prevent web-like recurrence

without circular contracture.

Because the surgical technique is demanding,

if accurate fixation and suturing are not performed,

the red tissue may be exposed (ectropion),

scar tissue may grow,

and the shape of the outer canthus may be lost,

among other issues.

Therefore, finding a specialist with extensive

surgical experience in outer canthus expansion surgery

is the shortcut to achieving results you will not regret.

we create a natural and defined eye shape for you.
