Hello,

This is iNIQUE.

In the past, the standards for beauty were clearly defined, but recently, people have been pursuing faces with more individuality and their own standards of beauty,

and many are finding their own unique look.

There are many different facial styles, such as cat-like, puppy-like, fox-like, and dinosaur-like looks, as people want different impressions depending on the individual.

Today, we’d like to take a look at lateral canthoplasty, which is suitable for those who want a puppy-like look.

Lateral canthoplasty, which can create a softer impression, opens up the lower part of the eyes through outer corner and lower corner procedures, helping create a puppy-like look.

Among these, outer corner surgery is an eye shape correction procedure that opens the back of the eye by incising the skin at the outer corner. By opening the back of the eye, it can make the eyes look longer and larger.

Although this may seem like a simple procedure, there is a risk of side effects such as changes in sensation around the eye, postoperative scarring, and inflammation, so we recommend having the procedure done at a clinic with extensive experience.

If too much of the outer skin is removed while performing outer corner surgery, side effects can occur if the inner red tissue of the eyelid, such as the mucous membrane or conjunctiva, is exposed.

If the conjunctiva is exposed or the eyelid turns outward, the sensitive inner skin layer of the eyelid is exposed to the outside, which can lead to dangerous side effects such as eye redness, stinging, and conjunctivitis.

At iNIQUE, to minimize these dangerous side effects, we perform a "safe outer corner procedure" when doing lateral canthoplasty.

iNIQUE’s safe outer corner procedure separates the skin and mucous membrane, removes only the minimum amount of mucous membrane necessary, and leaves enough of the outer skin so the eyes are opened clearly while preventing external exposure of the mucous membrane at the source.

As a result, even though an incision is made, there is enough room in the outer skin, so the eyelid does not turn outward.

Lateral canthoplasty, which makes my face look more puppy-like, also includes lower corner surgery.

The eye line generally feels balanced when the angle connecting the front of the eye shape and the outer corner is 5 to 10 degrees. However, when this angle falls outside that range, the outer corners of the eyes can appear very upturned.

Therefore, by opening the back with outer corner surgery while also fixing the outer corner to the outer bone, it is possible to create the ideal angle and complete a softer, gentler impression.

Today, we looked into lateral canthoplasty, which helps create softer eyes. Through lower corner and outer corner procedures, you can achieve a refreshed eye shape and a gentle impression.

In addition, at iNIQUE, we do our best for safe surgery with a personalized plan through充分 individual consultations before surgery.

iNIQUE is an eye plastic surgery clinic with extensive experience and know-how, having performed over 5,000 eye surgeries and revision surgeries to date.

If you are considering lower corner surgery and outer corner surgery because of upturned outer corners and a harsh-looking impression, come with iNIQUE!

Then, until now, this has been iNIQUE, as if you were beautiful from the very beginning.

Thank you. Creating a Puppy-Like Look with Lateral Canthoplasty image 7
