Hello!

This is iNique.

Interest in appearance continues without pause.

Recently, men as well have come to place great importance on their faces and image.

Socially, a “well-managed appearance” is increasingly seen as a kind of competitive edge, and efforts to make a good impression in professional and social settings are also increasing.

In particular, as beauty content has become more mainstream through YouTube, social media, and similar platforms, men have been able to access information more easily.

Accordingly, the proportion of people trying various methods such as grooming, skincare, body management, and even plastic surgery has steadily increased.

Appearance management is no longer an area exclusive to women, but is becoming part of everyday life that both men and women choose for their own satisfaction and confidence.

In particular, eye procedures such as double eyelid surgery and canthoplasty, which have often been performed by women, are highly preferred.

Depending on the shape of your eyes, your overall image can change, and since this can improve your impression, the importance of eye shape is high.

However, unlike women’s eye surgery, male plastic surgery requires careful consideration of male-specific factors such as skin thickness, the skeletal structure of the eye area, and a preference for natural-looking results.

The type of male eye surgery introduced today by iNique includes precisely these elements: epicanthoplasty for men.

Epicanthoplasty is suitable for people who are unhappy with their eye shape because the inner corners of the eyes are covered, making them look cramped and severe, or because an epicanthal fold makes the eyes appear smaller.

Through canthoplasty, the cramped parts of the eyes can be opened up, creating a clearer and more refreshing eye shape.

iNique performs customized procedures according to the desired eye shape.

Epicanthoplasty for men is a method of opening up the epicanthal fold at the inner corner of the eye to reveal it more clearly.

If the blocked part of the eye is located at the 45-degree position of the upper area, it is called upper canthoplasty.

Through this method, the eye shape can be made longer and more defined, improving the epicanthal fold, and for those whose eyes appear too far apart, the spacing can be appropriately narrowed.

If you have previously undergone epicanthoplasty but were not very satisfied, or if your eyes do not need to be opened too much, iNique’s mini epicanthoplasty may also be an option.

Mini epicanthoplasty is iNique’s proprietary technique and has been trademarked with the Korean Intellectual Property Office. It compensates for the shortcomings of standard epicanthoplasty and refines the result more delicately.

Because it slightly changes the angle, there is less scarring and the result looks more natural.

In addition to epicanthoplasty for men, the appropriate canthoplasty method can differ depending on the individual’s eye shape and characteristics.

iNique’s canthoplasty procedures include several options.

In addition to the mini epicanthoplasty, standard epicanthoplasty, and upper canthoplasty introduced above, there is also lateral canthoplasty, which is performed when the outer part of the eye needs to be opened more refreshingly.

There is also lower outer canthoplasty for people whose eye corners are overly raised and who therefore look sharp, like a fox-like eye shape.

Before proceeding with male epicanthoplasty, it is very important to sufficiently confirm your eye structure, skin thickness, and the elasticity unique to men through consultation.

Compared with women, men have thicker tissue around the eyes and different preferred results and overall impression, so the choice of the method suited to the individual must be made more carefully.
