What Should You Be Careful About Before Lateral and Lower Canthoplasty?

Hello.

This is Inique Plastic Surgery.

The eyes are the first element that determines a person’s impression!

Many people look into eye surgery

to create a clearer change in their image.

Today, we will take a closer look at the customized canthoplasty procedures

that many people are seeking at Inique.

First, let’s look at lateral and lower canthoplasty.

Lateral canthoplasty is often recommended for people whose outer eye corners are blocked,

creating a stuffy impression,

or for those who want a more open, refreshing eye shape

because their eyes are short horizontally.

But did you know that lateral canthoplasty

comes with points that require caution,

in addition to the effect of creating brighter-looking eyes?

These include conjunctival exposure

or ectropion, where the eyelid turns outward.

In the case of lateral canthoplasty, side effects such as exposure of the red tissue and mucosa are common,

so it is important to choose a hospital that can perform the surgery safely.

Mucosal exposure, a side effect of lateral canthoplasty,

occurs because too much skin is removed,

which causes the inner mucosa to become exposed externally,

so it is important to plan the surgical approach thoroughly

with the medical staff before lateral canthoplasty.

But at Inique, where lateral and lower canthoplasty are performed safely,

we remove only as much mucosa as needed to open the eyes more clearly,

while removing less skin than mucosa,

thereby fundamentally preventing external exposure of the mucosa

and avoiding these side effects.

Lateral and lower canthoplasty are often performed together,

and are mainly recommended for people whose eye corners tilt upward, giving a somewhat sharp impression,

those whose eyes are short vertically,

or those whose eyes are small and the whites are barely visible.

At Inique, by lowering the upward-tilted eye shape through lower lateral canthoplasty,

it is possible to create gentler-looking eyes and improve the impression to a kinder one.

By opening the outer corner of the eye through lateral canthoplasty

and fixing the eye corner to the outer bone to create an ideal angle of 5 to 10 degrees,

this is lower lateral canthoplasty.

Through this, the impression looks softer,

and the eyes are reborn as longer and more open.

In addition to lateral and lower canthoplasty, Inique also performs various canthoplasty procedures

depending on each person’s unique eye type.

What we will introduce now is Inique’s representative procedure,

which can only be experienced at Inique: the ‘Mini Epicanthoplasty.’

Inique Mini Epicanthoplasty is Inique’s proprietary technology,

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

It is a canthoplasty procedure that compensates for the shortcomings of conventional epicanthoplasty,

such as exposing too much of the lacrimal caruncle, making the eyes look too close together,

or leaving a lot of scarring,

by refining the inner corner of the eye.

Because only the area where the epicanthal fold is located is dissected,

the amount of opening is not large,

which greatly reduces concerns about scarring,

and this is one of the reasons for its high satisfaction rate.

So far, we have looked at lateral and lower canthoplasty with Inique,

as well as Inique’s proprietary technology,

Inique Mini Epicanthoplasty.

Inique has performed over 5,000 eye surgeries and revision surgeries,

resolving many people’s concerns about their eyes,

and also holds know-how that has been recognized through an award from the Minister of Health and Welfare

as well as presentations in textbooks and papers.

For those who are concerned about their appearance,

we will do our best to provide a safe surgical plan

and satisfying results

based on our know-how and technical expertise.
