Canthoplasty

There are 3 types of canthoplasty: epicanthoplasty for opening the inner corner of the eyes, lateral canthoplasty for elongating the outer corner of the eyes, and lastly vertical canthoplasty for lowering the outer corner of the eyes.

  • Epicanthoplasty
  • Lateral canthoplasty
  • Vertical canthoplasty

Epicanthoplasty

Through epi canthoplasty, which enlarges the width of your eyes, you will be able to gain a large and striking eye shape. You will also be able to correct crossed eyes and mongolian folds. Mongolian fold is the skin fold that covers the inner corner of the eyes.

Process of epicanthoplasty

  1. Customize height and shape designed to fit your face
  2. Incision is hidden underneath the inner eyelid folds
  3. Minimal incision is made and skin is excised
  4. Natural and beautiful eyes are created

Who is eligible for epicanthoplasty

Through epicanthoplasty, doctors can design the inner corner of the eyes and reduce the wide gap between the eyes. If you have mongolian folds, crossed eyes, or wide set eyes you may need this surgery.

Epicanthoplasty is recommended for

  1. Those who have stuffy looking eyes
  2. Those who have mongolian folds
  3. Those who have eye corners that are too pointy or tilting up
  4. Those who have a wide distance between the eyes

Lateral canthoplasty

Lateral canthoplasty is a type of surgery that elongates the eyes or corrects the malpositioning of the outer corners of the eyes.

Process of lateral canthoplasty

  1. Customize height and shape designed to fit your face
  2. Correct the eye length and the shape of the eye outer corner
  3. Minimal incision is made to remove excess skin
  4. Mesmerizing and large eyes are created

Who is eligible for lateral canthoplasty?

Lateral canthoplasty is effective for those with short eye length as this surgery concentrates on widening the eye’s width. Through this surgery, you will be able to obtain a beautiful and appealing eye shape.

Lateral canthoplasty is recommended for

  1. Those whose eyes length is short
  2. Those who have slanted eyes
  3. Those who would like to have a more captivating looking appearance

Vertical canthoplasty

Vertical canthoplasty which is also called lower eyelid surgery, lowers the outer corner of the eyes. The surgery is performed to create large and clearer looking eyes for a soft impression. In almost all cases vertical canthoplasty must be performed together with lateral canthoplasty which is more commonly known as dual canthoplasty.

Process of vertical canthoplasty

  1. Customize height and shape designed to fit your face
  2. Increase the vertical length of eyes by pulling the outer corner downward
  3. Minimal incision is made to remove excess skin
  4. Charming and gentle looking eyes are created

Who is eligible for vertical canthoplasty?

Vertical canthoplasty is the most effective method to improve sharp upturned eyes. Having large eyes is not the only answer to becoming beautiful. The eyes need to be harmonized with the facial ratio to achieve an ideal and balanced look. Customizing the outer corners of the eyes is the key to creating a charming and feminine looking eye.

Vertical canthoplasty is recommended for

  1. Those whose eyes are slanted
  2. Those who would like to adjust both vertical and horizontal eye outer corner shape
  3. Those who would like to create a soft impression with gentle looking eyes
