Let’s Learn About Lateral Canthoplasty and Lower Canthoplasty!

Hello, this is Inique.

As the standards of beauty become increasingly refined,

these days, one of the simple procedures

that has become popular is canthoplasty,

and many people are curious about various canthoplasty procedures,

such as inner canthoplasty, upper canthoplasty, lateral canthoplasty, and lower canthoplasty.

Today, together with Inique, we will look at lateral canthoplasty and lower canthoplasty among canthoplasty procedures.

Lateral canthoplasty and lower canthoplasty are intended to

open up the area below the eyes to make it look more refreshed.

Among them, lateral canthoplasty refers to an eye-correction procedure that opens the back of the eye by making an incision in the skin at the outer corner of the eye.

By creating space at the outer back part of the eye, the eye can look longer

and have the effect of making the eyes appear larger.

It may seem like a simple surgery,

but because there is a risk of side effects, it is important to

choose an experienced eye surgery specialty clinic.

So what side effects can occur?

Side effects of lateral canthoplasty include exposure of the red inner tissue of the eyelid,

that is, the mucosa or conjunctiva.

This happens because, during the process of making an incision at the outer corner of the eye,

too much of the outer skin is removed.

As a result, if the conjunctiva becomes exposed

or if ectropion occurs (the eyelid turns outward),

since the sensitive inner skin layer of the eyelid is exposed to the outside,

problems such as redness, eye irritation, and an increased frequency of conjunctivitis may occur.

At Inique, to minimize these side effects,

we provide a "safe lateral canthoplasty" procedure.

During Inique’s "safe lateral canthoplasty," the skin and mucosa are separated,

a minimum necessary amount of mucosa is removed,

and enough outer skin is left in reserve,

so the eyes are opened up more refreshingly,

while external exposure of the mucosa is fundamentally prevented.

Even if an incision is made, because the outer skin is left with more room,

the eyelid will not turn outward at all.

Now, let’s move on to lower canthoplasty.

Lower canthoplasty is mainly recommended for people whose eye shape has an angle that is considered stable,

at 5 to 10 degrees, between the front of the eye and the outer corner of the eye,

in other words, for those whose outer eye corners are significantly raised.

It is a procedure that, while opening the back side with lateral canthoplasty,

also fixes the outer corner of the eye to the outer bone to create the ideal angle,

allowing you to design a soft, gentle impression and a long, refreshed-looking eye shape.

There are also side effects that can occur with lower canthoplasty,

such as excessive scarring or exposure of the inner mucosa.

If the outer corner of the eye is pulled down too much,

skin remains below the eye,

and if that remaining skin is removed,

various problems can arise.

Along the edge of the human eye, there is an area called the "Gray line" that has a different appearance from normal skin.

In the process of trimming the remaining skin by removing it,

if it is excised in the usual way,

the Gray line may be violated and removed,

and in that case the eyes may look unnatural,

and in severe cases, the lower eyelashes may also be lost,

which can result in an awkward-looking eye.

At Inique, instead of adopting the conventional method,

after performing lateral canthoplasty, an incision is made below the eyelashes,

and the skin portion of the remaining skin that does not include the Gray line or eyelashes is removed.

By taking this approach, we protect the Gray line and eyelashes,

while preventing the mucosa from being exposed to the outside,

and at the same time, we carry out a surgical method that leaves almost no trace,

creating a natural eye shape.

This is Inique’s unique lower canthoplasty procedure.
