A Review of Creating a Puppy-like Look with Eye Corner Surgery image 1

Hello.

This is Ineek Plastic Surgery.

As a simple way to describe someone’s impression,

they are often called a “puppy-like” face or a “cat-like” face.

If the outer corners of the eyes are slightly upturned and give a cool, sophisticated

impression, that is described as a cat-like face.

If the outer corners are slightly downturned and give a kind, cute

impression, that is described as a puppy-like face.

Both have their own charm and individuality,

but especially puppy-like faces tend to have a strong cute and gentle image,

so they are highly preferred regardless of gender.

If asked which celebrity seems likable, names like

Suzy, Park Bo-young, Park Bo-gum, and Song Joong-ki,

who are representative puppy-like faces,

come to mind as actors and singers.

However, if the outer corners of the eyes are too upturned,

and the sophisticated image is too strong, making the person look somewhat cold or

fierce, then it may be necessary to improve the impression to a softer one

through Ineek eye corner surgery.

For this kind of improvement,

Ineek offers a variety of eye corner procedures,

and among them, through the lower back corner surgery,

we can help people with very upturned outer eye corners

achieve gentler-looking eyes, so let’s take a closer look.

First, what is an eye corner procedure?

It is a surgery that opens up the constricted parts of the eyes to make the eye shape

look brighter and more defined.

Ineek performs customized eye corner procedures

while considering each person’s eye shape

and the eye look they want.

Now, let’s take a closer look

at the lower back corner surgery.

The lower back corner surgery is an eye corner procedure also called

“lateral canthoplasty”

or “lowering the outer eye corner.”

It is recommended for people whose

outer eye corners are significantly upturned.

While opening the back of the eye with a back corner procedure,

it fixes the outer eye corner to the outer bone

to create an ideal eye corner angle.

The most ideal eye corner angle is

about 5 to 10 degrees.

Ineek also designs it around that angle,

so the impression looks softer

and the eyes are reborn as longer and more open-looking.

If you look at the before-and-after results of

lowering the eye corner angle through eye corner surgery,

as shown in the photo above, it should be easier to understand.

If you have often been told that your eye corners look upturned and fierce,

I recommend considering Ineek lower back corner surgery.

In addition to the lower back corner procedure, I will also introduce

other eye corner procedures available at Ineek.

In the case of Ineek mini front corner surgery,

only the area where the epicanthal fold is located is dissected

so that the lacrimal caruncle is not exposed,

and it is a surgery that leaves 거의 no scar.

In a typical front corner procedure,

the dissection range is wide, so the opening effect is greater,

and the scar may be visible over a wider area,

which is a drawback.

This is Ineek’s signature procedure,

developed to improve that issue.

Next is front corner / upper corner surgery.

It is a procedure that can clearly improve a cramped-looking eye shape,

and it is recommended for people whose eyes look tight because the epicanthal fold at the inner corner is blocking them,

or for those with a somewhat wide distance between the eyebrows.

When the epicanthal fold is positioned toward the upper 45-degree

direction, it is called upper corner surgery,

and it helps make the front line of the double eyelid smoother

and more open-looking.

Ineek’s safe back corner surgery

is also an eye corner procedure that many people seek out

when they are worried about side effects from back corner surgery.

Many people are concerned that back corner surgery may expose the mucosa (the red inner tissue).

If the conjunctiva is exposed like this, there is a risk of redness, eye irritation,

and frequent conjunctivitis.

Therefore, the mucosa is removed only as much as necessary,

and at the same time, the skin is removed less than the mucosa,

fundamentally preventing external exposure of the mucosa.

So far, we have looked at four of Ineek’s eye corner procedures,

including eye corner surgery (lower back corner surgery), which helps create gentler-looking eyes.

Ineek has experience performing more than 5,000 eye surgeries and revision surgeries.

Based on this experience, we provide satisfying results for people with concerns about their eye shape.

From first surgeries to revision surgeries, with trusted skill,

careful aftercare for successful results,

and above all, natural plastic surgery that does not look obvious,

we will do our best to satisfy you.
