Gimpo Eye Surgery: How to Reduce the Horizontal Length of the Eyes with Inner and Outer Corner Surgery

"I'm thinking about eye corner surgery because my eyes are small and narrow."

�

"I'm worried about which is more natural for my eyes, inner corner surgery or outer corner surgery."

Double eyelid surgery is one of the procedures many people are familiar with and is a popular treatment that creates bigger, clearer eyes.

Not only can the eyes be enlarged vertically, but the horizontal width of the eyes can also be increased through inner corner surgery and outer corner surgery, creating a long and refreshing eye shape.

Because of this, many people choose to have eye corner surgery at the same time as double eyelid surgery.

So today, for those who are looking into inner corner surgery and outer corner surgery, we will go over eye corner surgery in detail.

How to reduce the horizontal length of the eyes

For these people,

inner corner surgery is recommended.

An excerpt from website images used to help with understanding

✔ People with a wide distance between the eyebrows ✔ People with a severe epicanthic fold ✔ People whose epicanthic fold covers the eyes ✔ People who feel that the inner corners of their eyes look cramped

If any of the above apply to you,

inner corner surgery can be a good option.

In the case of East Asians, about 40% to 60% or more have an epicanthic fold,

and this fold covers the front part of the eyes, making the eyes look smaller and the distance between the eyebrows look wider,

which creates a cramped impression.

Through inner corner surgery, the epicanthic fold at the inner corner of the eye can be removed,

which increases eye exposure and can create bigger, brighter-looking eyes.

Usually, about 2 to 3 mm is opened,

but this can vary depending on the individual’s brow distance and eye shape,

so please proceed based on a detailed consultation with a plastic surgery specialist.

For these people,

outer corner surgery is recommended.

✔ People whose outer eye corners tilt upward and look harsh ✔ People whose outer eye corners tilt downward and look sad ✔ People with a narrow brow distance for whom inner corner surgery is difficult ✔ People who were not satisfied after double eyelid surgery

If any of the above apply to you,

outer corner surgery can be a good option.

Through the procedure, the outer corner of the eye can be opened by 1 to 2 mm or more,

increasing the horizontal width and creating a more open eye shape.

Also, because outer corner surgery can adjust the angle of the outer eye corner,

if the outer corner is tilted upward and gives a bad impression, it can be lowered to create a softer image.

On the other hand, for people whose outer corners tilt downward and make them look sad,

the angle can be raised to create a more refined and clearer image.

An excerpt from a website image used to help with understanding Is it okay? I heard outer corner surgery can attach again later.

Among those considering outer corner surgery,

many worry that the outer corners of the eyes may reattach after surgery.

Because the outer corners of the eyes move a lot,

there can be situations where skin reattaches during the recovery process.

However, these problems can be sufficiently prevented based on the surgeon’s experience and know-how.

If the outer corner ligament and surrounding tissue are properly separated and firmly fixed to the periosteum,

reattachment of the outer corner can be prevented.

Therefore, for eye corner surgery without side effects,

we recommend consulting a plastic surgery specialist with extensive experience and know-how in eye surgery.

What matters is 'this'

The image above was used to help explain the surgical method.

Even a 1 mm difference in our eyes can greatly change the image or impression they give.

That is why it is important to carefully design the procedure while fully considering the condition of the eyes, skin, muscles, and more.

Also, depending on the individual’s situation,

combining the procedure with other surgeries such as ptosis correction can lead to even better results.

Therefore, it is best to choose a Gimpo plastic surgery clinic that can accurately assess your eye condition and suggest the procedures you need.

Because judgment can vary somewhat depending on experience,

even if you visit the same plastic surgery specialist, it is recommended to consult with 2 to 3 places and proceed with one you can trust.
