[Rari Plastic Surgery] First Eye Surgery (Non-incisional eyelid correction, epicanthoplasty, canthoplasty) Before-and-After Photos

Let’s take a look at the before-and-after photos of this “first eye surgery.”

There are really many different procedures involved in eye surgery.

When people think of eye surgery, the most representative one is double eyelid surgery,

For ptosis, there is eyelid correction, for the Mongolian fold there is epicanthoplasty, and for making the eyes look larger there is canthoplasty, and so on.

Today, we’ll look at a patient who was having all of these procedures for the first time, not a revision surgery case.

First, let’s look at the condition of the eyes before surgery.

Looking at the upper eyelids before surgery, the shallow folds appeared in multiple layers,

so the double eyelid line was not clearly defined and looked like loose skin folds,

and when opening the eyes, it was difficult to open them clearly without using the eyebrows and forehead,

so the eyes appeared half-closed like this.

In addition, the Mongolian fold extended toward the inner corner of the eye and slightly drooped down,

and while there was no especially heavy or tired look, the outer corners of the eyes were slightly upturned,

which clearly showed a state in which the eyes had never undergone surgery before.

So after consultation, this patient underwent surgery with a plan to perform three procedures at once: non-incisional eyelid correction, epicanthoplasty, and canthoplasty.

First, because the patient was not very old and had little skin sagging, the double eyelid area was suitable for a non-incisional approach,

so with non-incisional eyelid correction, the shallow, multiple layered double eyelid line that looked like fine folds was gathered into one clearly defined line,

while slightly strengthening the opening force of the eyes so they could open more clearly without relying on the eyebrows and forehead.

In addition, the slightly drooped Mongolian fold was removed through epicanthoplasty,

and the design of the epicanthoplasty was extended naturally and lengthily toward the upper side to also create an upper-corner opening effect.

For the canthoplasty, the slightly upward-tilted outer corners of the eyes were gently brought downward

and opened as much as possible toward the back, giving the eyes a refreshed, wider look. Depending on the angle, there may be slight differences, but if you look at the amount of white visible before and after surgery,

you can easily compare how much the eyes were enlarged through canthoplasty.

The eyes were by no means unattractive or unusual even before surgery,

but after surgery they were reborn as much more defined and refined eyes.

Because the surgery was performed non-incisively, there is no visible scar on the double eyelid line even when the eyes are closed,

and although the eyes became larger through the corner-opening procedures, they still close well overall.

At 5 months after surgery,

you might think that because several procedures were done at the same time, the swelling or recovery would be slower,

but that was not the case, and the patient recovered appropriately within the expected period,

making these before-and-after photos show a natural yet significant change.
