Canthoplasty, is it really a surgery with many side effects?
You can see people all over the internet who say that they ruined their eyes after canthoplasty and that canthoplasty is a surgery you should never get.
So today, I’d like to talk about whether canthoplasty is really such a dangerous surgery that even doctors do not know about, or about facts that may be hidden.
Any surgery can always be problematic, especially if it is a cosmetic procedure that changes something slightly lacking into something more pronounced.
Here, a problem may mean a genuine medical side effect, or it may simply be a complaint that varies depending on each person’s opinion.
Because beauty is not absolute, the standards can differ greatly depending on the individual.
Are there any cosmetic surgeries with no side effects or complaints?
Double eyelid surgery can become too thick, loosen, or cause a sausage-like side effect.
Rhinoplasty can lead to implant inflammation or make the nose look crooked.
Breast implants can become inflamed, feel hard, and the implant may bulge noticeably whenever the chest muscles contract.
Going back to the eyes, epicanthoplasty can leave a depressed scar or make the eyes look excessively close together.

Is the D-shaped deformity after canthoplasty a side effect?
There are cases where a D-shaped deformity appears after canthoplasty. However, not everyone who undergoes canthoplasty develops a D-shaped deformity.
In fact, calling it a D-shaped deformity is itself somewhat incorrect.
That is because canthoplasty is a procedure that opens up the outer corner of the eye and slightly rounds the shape of the eye end into a D.
If, after canthoplasty, the eye still has a sharp shape like an unoperated eye, then it may mean that only lower canthoplasty was performed, or
that even though canthoplasty was done, the area has stitched itself back together.

To prevent a D-shaped deformity, should canthoplasty be performed naturally?
When it comes to cosmetic surgery, people often say it should be done naturally.
Of course, being natural is not a bad thing. But if you spend time and money on cosmetic surgery, and it shows no sign of being done naturally at all...
Then why have cosmetic surgery in the first place? You are doing it because you want some change and to look better... This is something you should think about carefully.
Some people have outer eye corners that are too sharp, so many actually want a rounded D-shaped change to the corners.
That way, the outer corners look lower and the eyes appear softer.
If, after lower canthoplasty without touching the outer corner itself, the corner looks rounded, it can be understood in the same way that the eyes look gentler.

If you ask a hair designer working at a hair salon, they will say that there are all kinds of people because people vary so much.
The people who undergo cosmetic surgery at plastic surgery clinics are also truly diverse.
Even when someone receives canthoplasty, has the same recovery process, and ends up with the same post-surgery shape, the reactions can be very different.
Some people are so happy that it turned out well, while others feel disappointed and depressed because they are not satisfied.
But people who are happy because it went well never go around bragging about which hospital they had the surgery at.
At most, they leave a review on the clinic’s website once.
However, people who are dissatisfied with the surgical results will, even with a small hurt feeling, immediately warn others on internet cafes, plastic surgery apps, and to people around them never to get it done.
That is why the internet is overflowing with posts and photos saying the surgery went badly, rather than reviews saying it went well.

Finally, you must remember that the photos you see in online reviews can, depending on the person uploading them, make the same eye condition look either more beautiful or more unattractive.
- This is because everyone knows that photos posted on Instagram can be different from the real face.
