Shall We Look at How to Naturally Enlarge the Eyes with Dual Canthoplasty?

Hello, this is Director Choi Seung-hyeop of Wink Plastic Surgery. Today, let’s look at how to naturally enlarge the eyes through dual canthoplasty (lateral and lower canthoplasty).

There are cases where people look into lateral and lower canthoplasty to make the eyes longer and larger horizontally. On the other hand, some people are worried about scarring or changes in shape after surgery.

First, let’s look at when lateral and lower canthoplasty is suitable. If the horizontal width of the eyes is short, lateral and lower canthoplasty may be helpful, but it can be considered suitable only for those who have space around the outer corners of the eyes.

Then, what should you be careful about with lateral canthoplasty? First, it is better not to do it too much. If it is opened too extensively, scarring or shape distortion (the “digutja” deformity) may occur, so I recommend keeping it within a natural range as much as possible.

What should you be careful about with lower canthoplasty? If it is done too aggressively, the lower eyelid may droop too much and make the face look sad, so it is better to keep it within a natural range. In some cases, the ability to smile with the eyes may be overly limited, so excessive lower canthoplasty requires caution.
