Double Eyelid Surgery? Canthoplasty? Which Eye Surgery is Right for Me?

The eyes are the first thing people notice.

They are what we look at most when talking to someone.

Thus, eyes play a crucial role when people judge each other

and communicate.
However, if someone's eyes are not considered beautiful,

it can negatively impact their overall appearance.

To overcome such perceived flaws,

many people, both women and men,

consider eye surgery.

However, while undergoing eye surgery is important,

it's crucial to find a place that can help you achieve

the eyes that best suit you.

Therefore, it's best to have eye surgery performed at a place that can help you create

the most ideal eye shape for your face.

So, what are the criteria for the most ideal eye shape for your face?

As such, considering the position of each facial feature,

as well as the spacing between them, is paramount

to finding a place that performs customized eye surgery

that suits you.

So, what are the customized eye surgery methods that are right for me?

There are many different types.

Among them, let's first look at double eyelid surgery,

one of the most common types of eye surgery.

Double eyelid surgery is an eye surgery method that creates a double eyelid crease

in eyes that lack one, helping to create clear and beautiful eyes.

The cost of double eyelid surgery starts from ~690,000 KRW,

and the price may vary depending on the method of eye surgery performed.

Therefore, people with flat eyes without a double eyelid crease

consider double eyelid surgery to create a clear eye shape.

Double eyelid surgery is a plastic surgery method that helps transform small, unclear eyes

into beautiful eyes that harmonize with the overall facial proportions.

It should be performed in a customized manner, considering the desired double eyelid crease.

Double eyelid creases are broadly divided into three types.

In-line is a double eyelid crease that starts from the inner corner of the eye,

and it is the most common and suitable line for Koreans.

Out-line is a double eyelid crease that starts from the outer corner of the eye,

recommended for those who desire larger and clearer eyes.

In-out line is an intermediate form between in-line and out-line,

often seen in celebrities known for their beautiful eyes.

It is also the most preferred type among those considering double eyelid surgery recently.

As such, double eyelid creases are divided into various types.

Having a double eyelid does not automatically make one's eyes look beautiful,

so it is important to create a line that harmonizes with one's face.

Now, let's explore the double eyelid surgery methods that can be customized

according to one's facial features and eye shape.

Non-incisional double eyelid surgery is effective for people who have little fat in their eyelids,

and no sagging eyelids.

After designing the desired line height and shape to fit the face,

tiny holes are created according to the design, and a very thin thread is used to connect

the muscle that opens the eye to the skin.

This creates a double eyelid crease as the eyelid is lifted, and the skin also rises.

By connecting the eyelid and the muscle and meticulously suturing to create the line,

natural and beautiful eyes can be achieved.

Incisional double eyelid surgery is effective for people who have a lot of fat in their eyelids,

and sagging eyelids.

After designing the desired line height and shape on the eyelid

to create the double eyelid,the eyelid is fully incised according to the design, and unnecessary fat and muscle are appropriately removed through the incision.

After that, the eyelid and muscle are connected to adhere the skin and muscle,

and the incision site is meticulously sutured to create a permanent double eyelid crease,

resulting in clear and beautiful eyes.

Partial incisional double eyelid surgery is a double eyelid surgery method that combines the advantages of both non-incisional and incisional double eyelid surgery,

and it is one of the most popular types of eye surgery recently.

Non-incisional double eyelid surgery, which creates a double eyelid crease with a very thin thread without skin incision,

has the advantage of less burden due to no incision,

but it has the disadvantage of a high possibility of loosening easily.

Also, incisional double eyelid surgery, which fully incises the skin to create a clear double eyelid crease,

does not have to worry about the line loosening,

but it has the disadvantage of prolonged swelling and potential scarring after surgery.

However, partial incisional double eyelid surgery considers the desired line and height,

designs the double eyelid crease, and then partially removes unnecessary fat through micro-incisions at both ends of the eyelid.

Then, the eyelid and muscle are connected and meticulously sutured to adhere the skin and muscle,

creating a permanent line. Similar to natural adhesion double eyelid surgery,

this method can create natural and beautiful eyes.

We've looked at the types and methods of double eyelid surgery that make dull eyes look clearer and deeper.

So, for whom is double eyelid surgery necessary?

First, if you desire natural and clear double eyelid creases.

Second, if you have a monolid on one eye or asymmetrical creases.

Third, if you want to slightly increase the height of your double eyelid.

Fourth, if you have double eyelids that occasionally loosen.

Fifth, if your eyelids are sagging or eyelashes poke your eyes, causing discomfort.

Sixth, if you have a lot of fat on your eyelids, making your eyes look stuffy.

People who fall into the above categories consider double eyelid surgery.

Especially recently, canthoplasty, which helps create more refreshed eyes in conjunction with double eyelid surgery, is also popular.

Canthoplasty is an eye surgery method that makes stuffy eyes look refreshed

when double eyelid surgery alone cannot achieve the desired eye size,

helping to create larger eyes.

The cost of canthoplasty starts from ~500,000 KRW when two options are performed,

such as epicanthoplasty + upper canthoplasty, or lateral canthoplasty + lower canthoplasty.

Therefore, people who want to experience a greater synergistic effect

with double eyelid surgery consider canthoplasty.

Canthoplasty is an eye surgery method needed by those who have eyes with short horizontal and vertical lengths,

resulting in a stuffy appearance. The key is that the approach varies depending on the characteristics of the eye shape.

There are broadly four types of canthoplasty.

There's 'epicanthoplasty', suitable for people whose inner corners of the eyes are covered by epicanthic folds, making the glabella appear long,

and 'upper canthoplasty', suitable for people whose inner corners of the eyes droop downwards, creating a stuffy eye shape.

Additionally, there's 'lateral canthoplasty', suitable for people whose inner corners are already open and the glabella is narrow, making epicanthoplasty impossible,

and 'lower canthoplasty', suitable for people who are self-conscious about their upturned outer corners, which make their eyes look fierce.

Now, let's explore the customized canthoplasty procedures

that are necessary depending on the specific characteristics of your eye shape.

Epicanthoplasty is effective for those with eyes that appear stuffy due to epicanthic folds blocking the inner corner,

or those with a sharp image due to a downward-sloping inner corner.

After designing the inner corner of the eye to a shape suitable for each individual,

the epicanthic fold located at the inner corner of the eye is incised according to the design.

Then, unnecessary skin at the inner corner of the eye is removed, and the area is meticulously sutured.

This is a scarless magic epicanthoplasty that helps prevent visible scars because the incision is made inside the inner corner of the eye.

By opening up small eyes that appear blocked by epicanthic folds,

it improves a wide glabella and creates a refreshed eye shape.

Upper canthoplasty is effective when epicanthoplasty alone cannot improve stuffy or sharp eyes,

due to epicanthic folds at the inner corner of the eye drooping downwards.

After designing the inner corner of the eye to a shape suitable for each individual,

the inner corner of the eye is incised at a 45° angle to release the drooping epicanthic fold according to the design.

Then, unnecessary skin at the inner corner of the eye is removed, and the area is meticulously sutured.

This procedure involves an incision inside the inner corner of the eye, so scars are not noticeable.

It is a method that opens up the inner corner of the eye that was covered by a drooping eyelid,

and when applied to eyes that appear stuffy or sharp at the inner corner, it improves them into soft and refreshed eyes.

Lateral canthoplasty is a suitable method when epicanthoplasty is not possible due to a narrow glabella,

and it is effective when the horizontal length of the eye is short.

After designing the outer corner of the eye to a shape suitable for each individual,

the tissue is dissected through a minimal incision at the designed area,

and the end of the lateral canthus is firmly fixed to the periosteum.

Then, the shape of the outer corner of the eye is appropriately adjusted,

and the area is meticulously sutured.

This procedure horizontally pulls the outer corner of the eye to vertically increase its size,

and a permanent effect that prevents re-adhesion can be obtained.

Therefore, if the outer corner of the eye is upturned, making the impression fierce, or if the horizontal length of the eye appears short,

it improves them into larger eyes.

Lower canthoplasty, like lateral canthoplasty, is effective in improving fierce-looking eyes due to upturned outer corners.

After designing the outer corner of the eye to a shape suitable for each individual,

the outer part of the eye corner is lowered by about one-third through a minimal incision at the designed area

and firmly fixed to the periosteum. Then, the shape of the outer corner of the eye is

appropriately adjusted, and the area is meticulously sutured.

This method pulls the outer corner of the eye downwards, making the eye appear horizontally longer,

thereby widening both the vertical and horizontal dimensions of the eye.

It improves the eyes into a softer and gentler image, along with a refreshed eye shape.

For whom is canthoplasty necessary?

First. If your eyes appear small due to a narrow vertical eye width.

Second. If a narrow horizontal eye length is a complex.

Third. If you desire refreshed-looking eyes.

Fourth. If your eyes appear stuffy due to epicanthic folds.

Fifth. If the distance between your eyes appears wide.

Sixth. If your outer corners are upturned, giving a fierce impression.

Seventh. If you desire an image change to a softer impression.

People who fall into the above categories consider canthoplasty.

As such, eye surgery is divided into various types,

including double eyelid surgery and canthoplasty.

Depending on the characteristics of your eye shape,

performing double eyelid surgery and canthoplasty simultaneously

to achieve customized eye surgery that best suits your face

can yield excellent synergistic effects.

Therefore, before undergoing eye surgery,

it is important to carefully consider various factors.

First, ensure it's a place that helps with quick recovery to daily life with minimal swelling after surgery.

Second, check if it's a place that reduces the burden of scars by making surgical marks unnoticeable with minimal incisions.

Third, confirm if it's a place that corrects both the aesthetic and functional aspects of the eyes to enhance both functionality and aesthetics.

Fourth, verify if it's a place that provides natural results by performing customized eye surgery with a 1:1 individualized surgical plan.

By carefully considering these factors and deciding on an eye surgery clinic, you can achieve natural results without failure.

Therefore, after thoroughly understanding the above factors,

why not find a place that performs customized eye surgery

to help you achieve the perfect eye shape for you?
