outer corner of the eye enlargement

Canthoplasty (eye corner surgery) is a very common eye plastic surgery procedure among Asians. Its main purpose is to lengthen the palpebral fissure, improve the shape of the eyes, and make the eyes look bigger, more three-dimensional, and more expressive.

There are three main types of canthoplasty: medial canthoplasty (the most common, correcting epicanthal folds or "monkey eyes"), lateral canthoplasty/lengthening (making the eyes appear longer horizontally, creating a "cat eye" effect), and combined medial and lateral canthoplasty (performing medial and lateral canthoplasty simultaneously for the best results).

Advantages: Instantly makes eyes appear larger and improves eye shape (especially when used in conjunction with double eyelid surgery). Solves problems such as "small eyes, expressionless face, and dull/lifeless gaze." Scars are usually well-concealed (inner corner scars are hidden within the eyelid crease, outer corner scars are located at the base of the eyelashes).

Key advantages:

• Visually enlarge the eyes : Horizontally lengthen the palpebral fissure by 2-5mm, making the eyes appear larger and longer, improving "small eyes" or "short eye shape", and making the eyes more lively and attractive.
• Permanent and natural results : One-time procedure, lifelong results, no need for fillers or repeated maintenance. No noticeable scars after recovery, like naturally large eyes.
• Minimally invasive and scarless : The incision is hidden in the crease of the outer corner of the eye, the operation time is short (20-40 minutes), local anesthesia is used, and the pain is mild.
• Quick recovery : Swelling occurs for 1-3 days post-surgery, sutures are removed after 7 days and swelling is mostly gone; the skin looks completely natural in 1-3 months. Normal work and social activities can resume as normal.
• Improves eye proportions : Alleviates issues like wide-set eyes and a fierce look, making the face more harmonious and gentle. Often combined with inner canthoplasty and double eyelid surgery, resulting in a significant overall improvement in appearance.
• Personalized design : Doctors customize the degree of enlargement based on eye shape and face shape to avoid overdoing it, which is suitable for Asian people who want the natural look of "naturally big eyes".

  Canthoplasty is a "high-value" procedure for the eyes, especially suitable for people with naturally short palpebral fissures or those who want bigger eyes but are afraid of looking fake.
