Canthoplasty

In cases where the eyes appear tired or small due to short horizontal length,
creating a double eyelid line alone may not be sufficient.

Eye size, shape, and impression can be improved
by performing medial, lateral, and lower canthoplasty individually
or in combination, considering overall facial balance.

How, Why,

Frequently Asked Questions
About Eye Surgery

It is fine to undergo eye and nose surgery either simultaneously or separately.
Although they are anatomically close, it is not mandatory to perform them together.
However, having both surgeries at once allows you to complete the recovery process in a single period.

Under-eye fat exists to protect the eyes.
While many believe that only soft tissue and skin change with age, bone structure also alters.
The volume of orbital fat shifts downward with aging, pushing against the septum, muscle, and skin, leading to under-eye bulging.
Depending on individual elasticity and firmness of soft tissue, some may develop noticeable under-eye fat at a younger age, while others may see it emerge as they age.

Double eyelid surgery creates a double fold considering the overall facial balance, while ptosis correction strengthens the muscles responsible for eye-opening, often referred to as sleepy-eye correction.
Some mistakenly believe both procedures are always necessary together, but ptosis correction is not essential for all double eyelid surgeries.
