Everything You Need to Know About Epicanthoplasty, Canthoplasty, and Lower Canthoplasty, as Explained by WINK Plastic Surgery!

Everything you need to know about canthoplasty! WINK Plastic Surgery, the place for canthoplasty!

Canthoplasty is divided into inner corner canthoplasty, outer corner canthoplasty, and lower canthoplasty, and it can be performed either with an incision or without an incision. When performed without an incision, the skin is not repositioned, so the effect may vary from person to person. On the other hand, the incision method leaves a small scar, but it is less likely to loosen than the non-incision method and has the advantage of longer-lasting results. Rather than simply choosing between incision and non-incision, it is important to decide after consulting with a specialist.

Inner corner canthoplasty slightly opens the inner corner of the eye, creating the effect of making the eyes appear wider horizontally. It is recommended for people whose eyes are far apart and want to increase the horizontal length, or for those whose eye shape feels cramped and whose caruncle is barely visible.

Even if you have had double eyelid surgery as well as canthoplasty, you may still feel that your eyes are small. In some cases, the muscles that open the eyes may be weak and eye correction was not performed, or the canthoplasty may have been done without an incision and the desired effect was not achieved. Through a detailed consultation, eye correction surgery can be performed, or revision surgery can be done with an incision method so the result does not loosen and can last longer.

If performed at the same time, outer corner and lower canthoplasty can create a refreshed and softer image. However, outer corner canthoplasty and lower canthoplasty each have different purposes. Outer corner canthoplasty is a procedure that opens the outer corner of the eye toward the back, increasing the horizontal width and length. Lower canthoplasty lowers the outer corner of the eye to adjust the angle and increase the vertical width.

In many cases, the outer corner reattaches after outer corner canthoplasty. This happens because the procedure was performed without considering the depth of the conjunctiva, causing a defect in the lower area and allowing the tissue to reattach. Outer corner canthoplasty should be performed with 충분한 consideration of the eye’s horizontal length, the outer edge, and the distance to the outer eye bone in proportion to the face, and it is important to create a design tailored to each individual.
