People of Mongolian descent in East Asia, that is, people from far eastern regions such as Korea, China, and Japan, tend to have upturned outer eye corners, which is how Mulan is portrayed in Disney cartoons. While this can seem mysterious and attractive to Western eyes, it can be a source of stress for those who have upturned outer eye corners.

Westerners, people from the Middle East, India, and Southeast Asia do not appear to have upturned outer eye corners, so their eyes can feel larger. Upturned outer eye corners can make the eyes look slanted, which can also make them feel smaller. In addition, when there is an epicanthal fold, the eyes may appear even more upturned and smaller, so for eyes with upturned outer corners, opening procedures along with double eyelid surgery can be important.

There are two types of outer eye corner lowering surgery: outer corner lowering with a canthoplasty at the back, and Barbie lower eye surgery.

Barbie lower eye surgery is named because lower eye surgery is said to create eyes like a Barbie doll. It is also known as a procedure that many celebrities undergo because even when wearing circle lenses, the eyes can still look more defined afterward.

Outer corner lowering with a canthoplasty at the back is a surgery that directly lowers the outer eye corner, so the eye shape can look gentler, and the upturned outer corner can be corrected more directly.
