Blepharoplasty That Improves the Eyes Naturally Without Going Too Far Is the Key

A pretty eye does not have to be big, double-lidded, or flashy. Even if it is not large, it should not look cramped and should appear open and clear, while also harmonizing well with the overall facial features. As a result, more people are visiting plastic surgery clinics in search of a clearer, more refreshing impression and eyes that look beautiful.

Procedures that can help change the appearance of the eyes include double eyelid surgery and canthoplasty. Among these, canthoplasty can complement areas that double eyelid surgery alone may not address, making the eyes look less cramped and more open. For that reason, many people undergo it together with double eyelid surgery or as a standalone procedure.

However, canthoplasty can make the eye shape look unnatural if done excessively, and it may cause side effects such as dry eye syndrome, so caution is needed. For a natural improvement, it is important to slightly open only the parts that appear cramped.

Goodbye to eyes that look cramped!

VN canthoplasty analyzes facial shape, the proportions of the eyes, and the eye shape accurately through a precise eye plastic surgery analysis system, then proceeds with a surgical method tailored to the individual in an effort to create larger, brighter eyes.

VN canthoplasty: how is the surgery performed?

Making the inner corners of the eyes clear and open

VN epicanthoplasty / upper canthoplasty

<Epicanthoplasty> An incision is made along the shape of the inner corner of the eye, and after the skin is dissected, the epicanthal fold is repositioned or removed. The amount of opening may vary depending on each person's eye shape and structure, but the typical effect is about 1 to 3 mm.

<Upper canthoplasty> This surgery removes the upper part of the epicanthal fold and raises the inner corner of the eye upward at a 45-degree angle, exposing the previously covered iris. By opening the inner corner upward, both the horizontal width and the shape can be improved at the same time.

Making the eye shape longer and softer

VN lateral canthoplasty / lower canthoplasty

< Lateral canthoplasty > An incision is made horizontally at the point where the upper and lower eyelids meet at the outer corner of the eye, and the inner conjunctiva is sutured. The incision is made while avoiding damage to the ligament that supports the shape of the outer corner of the eye, after which the ligament position is adjusted and then sutured.

< Lower canthoplasty > Through an incision in the inner conjunctiva below the eye, the fascia beneath the eye is shortened to lower the eye shape, and then it is sutured. Because the angle of the outer corner area can be adjusted, lowering the raised outer corner of the eye can make the eyes appear larger and gentler.

Creating a refreshing yet pure eye shape

VN dual canthoplasty

< Dual canthoplasty > By performing lateral canthoplasty and lower canthoplasty at the same time, the horizontal length is extended and the vertical length is expanded as well, creating a larger and more open eye shape. By performing two types of surgery, it is possible to compensate for the drawbacks of each procedure while enhancing their advantages.

VN canthoplasty accurately analyzes the eyes through a precise eye plastic surgery analysis system, then performs customized canthoplasty suited to the desired eye shape according to each type. Through delicate suturing, it minimizes the burden of scarring and strives to improve the face into a gentle and soft impression.

Since each person's eye characteristics are different, it is important to analyze them accurately and open the eyes in a harmonious design that matches the proportions without going too far.
