Everyone, did you know that the process of double eyelid surgery, ptosis correction, and creating the eye line can bring about significant changes with just a 1 mm difference and a 10º difference?

Canthoplasty, also known as the “aesthetic of 1 mm,” is a procedure in which fine adjustments are especially important.

Even the subtle length and angle of the outer corner of the eye can change the overall impression,

making sleepy-looking eyes appear more defined, or making a soft impression look cold.

It can even change the image of the entire face.

So, how much of a difference do 1 mm and 10º really make?

If you look at a ruler, the first small mark is exactly 1 mm.

Because this small difference can affect the impression,

it can be an important factor for people who want to improve the appearance of their eyes.

If you want a natural and harmonious eye shape through such fine adjustments,

it is important to find the method that suits you through 충분한 consultation.

So, in what cases are these fine adjustments needed?

When the space between the eyes is narrow, making epicanthoplasty or upper canthoplasty difficult

When the outer corner of the eye is turned upward, creating a sharp impression

When a previous canthoplasty was insufficient or has partially reattached and improvement is needed

When you want to change a constricted eye shape into a clearer and more refreshing impression

When you want to enlarge the eyes overall for a brighter and more lively appearance

Because small differences in the eye shape can affect the impression, an approach that takes your facial features and balance into account is necessary. It is important to review a variety of information and make a careful decision through professional consultation.

※ Depending on the individual, side effects such as inflammation, bleeding, and nerve damage may occur, so sufficient consultation with medical staff is necessary before surgery.
