Considering both the function and balance of the eyes
The inner epicanthal fold or surrounding tissue can make the eyes look tight
or partially obstruct the field of vision.
Epicanthoplasty and lateral canthoplasty improve these covered areas, considering
the surrounding eye structure, to pursue a naturally balanced eyeline.
Asian eyes often have an inner epicanthal fold,
making the eyes look smaller and tighter than they are.
Epicanthoplasty improves this fold to adjust the length and ratio of the eye,
creating a naturally balanced eyeline.
Narrower gap
Naturally narrows a wide-looking glabella.
Crisper eyes
Improving the epicanthal fold gives a refreshed impression.
Minimal scarring
Precision suturing leaves scars almost invisible.
Lateral canthoplasty considers the conjunctiva and skin structure at the outer corner
to improve the horizontal length and balance of the eyeline.
It lowers raised eye tails or lengthens the overall eye
for a softer, gentler impression.
Softer impression
Softens sharp, intense first impressions.
Wider eyes
Extends eye width for a larger, brighter look.
Quick recovery
Quick return to daily life after treatment.
Why is canthal surgery done at an eye clinic?
The eyelids, conjunctiva and tear ducts are closely connected to eye function.
A specialist who understands the anatomy of the eye performs the surgery, securing not only aesthetic improvement but also functional safety that minimises side effects such as dry eye or stinging after surgery.
I heard the corner often re-adheres after lateral canthoplasty — is that true?
Older surgical methods sometimes caused re-adhesion (reattachment).
Here we markedly reduce that possibility and operate precisely so a refreshed, defined eyeline is maintained over time.
Can epicanthoplasty, lateral canthoplasty or ptosis correction be done together?
Combined surgery is possible, but not necessary for every patient.
We comprehensively consider eye structure, facial ratio and current condition, and recommend only the procedures you truly need.
Will it leave a scar?
The area around the eyes heals well compared with other parts of the body.
Results may vary by individual skin condition and recovery, but in most cases the scar naturally fades over time and becomes barely noticeable.
