Hello, this is Inique Plastic Surgery.

These days, people often use expressions like

“cat-like face,” “dog-like face,” and so on, depending on the impression their appearance gives.

Such impressions are mostly determined by the shape of the eyes.

Depending on whether the outer corners of the eyes are lifted, whether there are double eyelids, and other eye shapes,

various impressions can be created.

That is why many people want eye surgery

to change the impression they give.

Trimming surgery is one type of eye surgery that can change your impression,

and because there are various options and it is not too burdensome,

many people choose it.

Today, I will talk about trimming surgery,

which can naturally and clearly change your impression.

Trimming surgery is a procedure that opens up the eyes in multiple directions

to make them look clearer and more refreshing.

As a clinic ranked No. 1 for trimming surgery in Apgujeong,

Inique Plastic Surgery has carefully selected

four trimming methods that can create natural yet dramatic changes.

First, mini epicanthoplasty

Second, epicanthoplasty, upper trimming

Third, safe outer corner trimming

Fourth, lower-outer corner trimming

Based on these four methods,

we provide the best results by tailoring the procedure to each patient's eye shape and desired impression.

Mini epicanthoplasty, available only at Inique!

Mini epicanthoplasty compensates for the drawbacks of traditional epicanthoplasty

and is Inique's signature procedure,

for which a trademark application has been completed with the Korean Intellectual Property Office.

Mini epicanthoplasty only dissects the area where the epicanthal fold is located,

and serves only to change the angle of the eyes,

so the amount of opening is not large and scarring is minimal.

Mini epicanthoplasty minimizes undesirable results such as eyes appearing too close together

or side effects such as excessive exposure of the lacrimal caruncle,

and is one of the most important procedures

for a natural yet clear change in impression.

Epicanthoplasty and upper trimming are procedures that refine the epicanthal fold

to make the front part of the eyes look more open and refreshed.

When the epicanthal fold covers too much of the inner corner of the eye,

making the space between the eyes look somewhat wide or the eyes look small,

we often recommend epicanthoplasty or upper trimming,

which can create a clearer and longer eye shape.

Depending on the direction of the epicanthal fold, it is divided into

epicanthoplasty, which opens in a parallel direction,

and upper trimming, which is performed when the fold is located at an upper 45-degree angle.

If you already have double eyelids, epicanthoplasty or upper trimming

can help smooth and open up the front line of the double eyelid.

Outer corner trimming is a procedure that opens the back part of the eyes

to make them look more refreshed,

and because it can enlarge the eyes and change the impression,

it is performed quite often.

However, at the same time, if the wrong surgical method is used,

a side effect of exposed red tissue can also occur frequently.

Depending on the type of exposure, side effects are classified as

conjunctival exposure and ectropion,

and if the conjunctiva is exposed, it can interfere with daily life

through symptoms such as redness, eye irritation, and frequent conjunctivitis.

That is why Inique Plastic Surgery has adopted a surgical method

that fundamentally blocks external exposure of the mucosa

for “safe outer corner trimming.”

Inique's safe outer corner trimming separates the skin and mucosa

and removes different amounts from each.

The skin is removed only minimally so that the mucosa is not exposed,

while the amount of mucosal removal is adjusted as needed

to make the eyes look more open and refreshed.

The last trimming method is lower-outer corner trimming,

which lowers the upward-tilted outer corner of the eye

to create a softer impression.

Lower-outer corner trimming, also called lateral canthoplasty or lowering the outer corner of the eye,

is recommended for people whose outer corners are significantly raised.

It is a procedure that fixes the outer corner of the eye to the outer bone while performing outer corner trimming,

creating the ideal angle of 5 to 10 degrees.

As a result, the impression becomes softer,

while the eyes can also look longer and more refreshed.
