How to Safely Perform Lower Canthoplasty image 1

Hello,

this is i-nique.

Recently, as there have been various cosmetic surgery methods,

eye surgery has also become more diverse.

Not only the commonly known double eyelid surgery,

but also corner eye surgery such as inner corner, outer corner, and lower corner procedures

comes in many different types.

Among them, today we will

look into lower canthoplasty,

which creates a more natural and refreshed eye shape.

There are also various types of corner eye surgery.

Through corner eye surgery,

it opens up the parts of the eye that feel closed off,

making the eyes appear more defined

and creating a refreshed impression.

At i-nique, we professionally perform four main types of

corner eye surgery,

and each procedure is carried out by applying the corner surgery method

that best suits the individual.

i-nique’s corner eye surgery includes

i-nique’s special mini inner corner surgery,

inner corner surgery, upper corner surgery, and outer corner surgery.

As shown in the photos, depending on the shape of your eyes,

fine-tuned procedures are possible for each area.

So how is such a change possible?

First, i-nique’s special mini inner corner surgery

was created to address the shortcomings of traditional inner corner surgery.

It is a method used when the lacrimal caruncle is overly exposed,

there is concern about scarring after surgery,

or the eyes appear too close together,

and it corrects this by refining the inner corner of the eye.

Because only the area with the epicanthal fold is dissected,

the amount of opening is small,

which has the advantage of leaving very little scarring.

Next, the procedures we will look at are

inner corner surgery and upper corner surgery.

These are recommended when the shape of the inner corner of the eyes

makes the eyes look smaller,

or when the distance between the eyebrows appears somewhat wide.

Through inner corner surgery,

the epicanthal fold is refined to open up the inner corner of the eye

in a refreshed way,

allowing for a clearer and longer eye shape.

When the direction of the epicanthal fold is

positioned at a 45-degree angle,

upper corner surgery smooths and opens the front part of the double eyelid line.

i-nique places safety as the top priority,

which is why outer corner surgery, which can involve side effects,

is performed by separating the skin and mucous membrane

to expose the mucous membrane.

If only the necessary amount of mucosa is removed,

the eyes can be opened up in a refreshed way while

the skin is removed less than the mucosa,

allowing external exposure to be minimized.

Lower canthoplasty also fixes the eye corner to the outer bone after corner surgery,

creating an ideal eye-corner angle

and a softer impression.

We have looked at i-nique’s lower canthoplasty and corner eye surgery

for a natural-looking result.

Since corner eye surgery comes in many different methods,

it is important to find the approach that suits the individual.

That is why, before lower canthoplasty,

we conduct a thorough consultation,

then find the best method together for the most ideal eye shape

before proceeding with surgery.

i-nique has performed more than 5,000 eye surgeries and revision surgeries

to date,

and through the know-how gained from this,

we provide great satisfaction to our patients.

If you want corner eye surgery and lower canthoplasty that fit your eyes,

choose i-nique, where improvement is possible through a variety of surgical methods.

Then, up to now,

this has been i-nique,

as if you were beautiful from the very beginning.

Thank you.
