Canthoplasty
We design the outer-corner direction and the lower-lid line together
More important than opening the eye wide is
whether it stays natural however much is opened.
YOUR CONCERN
If you want refreshed but natural eyes
- My eyes look short and stuffy
- My outer corners look drooping or lowered
- My lower-lid line looks less open
- I want refreshed but natural eyes
DIAGNOSIS
A canthoplasty is not about opening, but about reading the direction
A lateral and lower canthoplasty must be designed while looking at the outer-corner direction, the horizontal eye length, and the lower-lid line together. Rather than looking at the eye alone, we judge a change that fits within the whole facial proportion.
Outer-corner direction
We look at whether the outer corner is raised or lowered, and which direction to open for a natural result.
Horizontal eye length
We judge whether the horizontal eye length is short and how much extension is natural.
Lower-lid line
We look at how open the lower eyelid line is and whether there is room for a lower canthoplasty.
Degree of under-eye exposure
We gauge a safe opening range so the conjunctiva isn't excessively revealed.
Overall facial proportion
Rather than the eye alone, we design a change that fits within the eye-nose-face proportion.
DESIGN PRINCIPLE
We distinguish which is needed: lateral, lower, or combined canthoplasty
Lateral
Lateral canthoplasty
Adjusts the horizontal length and direction toward the outer corner to connect the eye refreshingly to the side. May suit eyes that look short.
Lower
Lower canthoplasty
Creates a soft downward sense of openness along the lower-lid line. Can ease stuffy, raised eyes.
Combined
Combined canthoplasty
When the outer-corner direction and lower-lid line must be adjusted together for a natural result, we design both elements together.
Excessive opening can look like unnatural eyes or conjunctival show, so opening only as much as needed, naturally, is important. NB prioritizes a change that improves the impression within a safe range.
METHOD
Not opening a lot, but matching the angle and line
Not opening a lot, but matching the angle
Rather than simply opening wide, we design the outer-corner angle and line flow naturally to fit the face.
Naturally, within a safe range
Excessive opening can look like unnatural eyes or conjunctival show, so opening only as much as needed is our principle.
A design that avoids eversion & over-opening
We conservatively adjust the line and opening amount so that conjunctival show, over-opening, or an everted appearance don't occur.
SURGEON-LED CONSULTATION
We look at the outer-corner angle and facial proportion together
NB looks at the outer-corner angle, the lower-lid line, and the facial proportion together to discuss whether a lateral, lower, or combined canthoplasty applies. The same doctor is in charge from consultation through surgery.
AFTER CANTHOPLASTY
Not an excessive change, but a natural improvement in impression
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Q. How do lateral and lower canthoplasty differ?
A lateral canthoplasty adjusts the horizontal length and direction toward the outer corner; a lower canthoplasty adjusts the downward sense of openness of the lower-lid line. We design one or a combination depending on the eye condition.
Q. Does a canthoplasty always make the eyes bigger?
It is not a surgery that opens wide across the board. What matters more is where and how much to open for a natural result. Overdoing it can look unnatural.
Q. I'm worried the conjunctiva will show.
Excessive opening can create conjunctival show or an everted appearance, so we design conservatively within a safe range.
Q. Can a canthoplasty loosen or revert?
It can vary by individual condition. In consultation we analyze the outer-corner and lower-lid structure and guide the suitable direction and scope.
