Big, Beautiful Eyes with Epicanthoplasty at Apgujeong Plastic Surgery Clinic

Hello, this is AINIQUE from Apgujeong Plastic Surgery Clinic.

With the advancement of medical technology, there are now more types of plastic surgery, expanding the range of choices.

So now, when deciding on plastic surgery, you can pursue not only your personal preferences but also the improvement of areas that you feel are lacking.

In particular, among eye surgeries that have remained consistently popular from the past to the present, there are various procedures depending on the area and position, such as double eyelid surgery, canthoplasty, and ptosis correction.

The reason eye surgery is especially popular is because changing the eyes alone can create a clearer impression and change the overall mood of the face.

For example, if someone had relatively small eyes but underwent eye surgery and made the eyes look bigger, the face can take on a more striking impression and its overall atmosphere can change.

In the case of double eyelid surgery, which is commonly performed, depending on the condition of the individual’s eyes, there are times when simply creating the double eyelid line feels insufficient. When canthoplasty is performed together, the eye line can be made even clearer and more refreshing.

Today, at Apgujeong Plastic Surgery Clinic, we would like to introduce canthoplasty, which can make a tired-looking eye area look more open and refreshed.

If double eyelid surgery enlarges the eyes vertically, canthoplasty enlarges the eyes horizontally.

For those with eyes that look narrow or tired, canthoplasty performed together with double eyelid surgery at Apgujeong Plastic Surgery Clinic can help achieve bigger and more defined eyes.

Methods for improving the inner corner of the eye include front canthoplasty and upper canthoplasty, while methods for opening the outer side of the eye include outer canthoplasty and lower canthoplasty.

Each type can be applied according to the condition of the individual’s eyes, selecting the necessary method.

Canthoplasty is especially needed for people who have an epicanthic fold. This area visible when the eyes are closed is called an epicanthic fold.

In general, many East Asians have an epicanthic fold, and because it can make the eyes look narrow and blocked, some people want to improve it.

When there is an epicanthic fold like this, it can be refined through front canthoplasty or upper canthoplasty.

What is the difference between front canthoplasty and upper canthoplasty? Front canthoplasty works by dissecting the skin around the epicanthic fold and repositioning it toward the front.

Upper canthoplasty opens up the upper area at the 45-degree point of the eye, and can be understood as a method of simply removing and eliminating the area where the epicanthic fold is located.

For reference, upper canthoplasty is often used when there is no need to open the front area very much.

At AINIQUE, Apgujeong Plastic Surgery Clinic, front canthoplasty and upper canthoplasty are performed together to improve the epicanthic fold more effectively. This combined approach is called "magic canthoplasty."

If canthoplasty has already been performed before, or if there is no need to open the eyes excessively, mini front canthoplasty can also be considered.

This is a representative surgical method developed by AINIQUE at Apgujeong Plastic Surgery Clinic, and it gently refines and corrects the inner corner of the eye.

Because it does not open the front area much, there is almost no scarring or wound, and the possibility of side effects is low, so stable results can be expected.

So far, together with AINIQUE at Apgujeong Plastic Surgery Clinic, we have explained why canthoplasty is needed, the different types, and how the procedure is performed.
