Upgraded with Apgujeong Eye Corner Surgery: Eyes That Look Twice as Large!

Hello, this is iNique.

Today, together with CEO Director Yang Hae-won, we will take a detailed look at Apgujeong eye corner surgery among eye plastic surgery procedures.

Many people wonder whether there are any additional procedures that can help make the horizontal length of the eyes longer or create a more refreshing double-eyelid line.

Generally, if double eyelid surgery is a way to make the eyes larger vertically, then Apgujeong eye corner surgery is the method that can increase the horizontal length of the eyes.

On the front side of the eyes, there are epicanthoplasty and upper canthoplasty, while on the back side, there are lateral canthoplasty and lower canthoplasty.

The part visible when the eyes are closed is called the epicanthal fold. Improving this epicanthal fold can be done through an epicanthoplasty or upper canthoplasty.

When people usually refer to epicanthoplasty, it is a method in which the surrounding skin around the epicanthal fold is dissected and repositioned toward the front.

If you think of upper canthoplasty, it means opening up the area toward the 45-degree upper direction. Looking at the surgical method, Apgujeong eye corner surgery can be performed by simply excising and removing the area with the epicanthal fold.

Therefore, depending on the condition of an individual's eyes, if the front side should not be opened too much, it is appropriate to use upper canthoplasty.

In particular, when creating a semi-out line, there is a kind of formula that should be created together.

The line should be set a little higher than the epicanthal fold, and the influence of the epicanthal fold should be completely removed.

To do this, epicanthoplasty and upper canthoplasty are performed together to eliminate the influence of the epicanthal fold. When these procedures are done together, this is called magic canthoplasty.

If magic canthoplasty is combined with a slightly higher double-eyelid line, you can expect a result where the front line of the eyes appears more open and extended.

On the back side, there are lateral canthoplasty and lower canthoplasty. However, when lateral canthoplasty is performed alone, there are very limited cases in which a good Apgujeong eye corner surgery effect can be expected.

Looking at cases where lateral canthoplasty alone can be effective, the eyeball is somewhat protruded, and when this protruding eyeball pushes against the eyelid, opening it up can create a very refreshing Apgujeong eye corner surgery effect.

So in such cases, lateral canthoplasty alone may be performed.

However, in most cases other than these, better results can be expected when it is performed together with lower canthoplasty.

Lower canthoplasty is a procedure that lowers the outer part of the black of the eye, and because it tends to rise again over time, slight overcorrection compared to what was initially expected increases the likelihood of achieving the desired shape.

The expected effect when lateral and lower canthoplasty are performed together is that the ideal ratio of white exposure between the front and back sides is considered to be about 1:1.3. If the back side appears about 30% more than the front side, it looks refreshing and can be considered an ideal eye shape.

Also, an eye angle of about 5 to 10 degrees is considered ideal, and if the angle is more raised than that, upper and lower canthoplasty can be performed to lower the eye corners and create a softer impression.
