Surgery Information Surgery Information

We complete a customized canthoplasty tailored to each individual's eyes with a meticulous design that considers the distance between the eyes, the angle of the outer corners, and the ratio of the Mongolian fold. This procedure improves stuffy-looking eyes with closed inner or outer corners into a refreshed and open look by adjusting the horizontal and vertical length or the angle of the outer corners of the eyes.

recommendation target When is Canthoplasty Recommended?

  • When the inner corners are blocked by a severe Mongolian fold.
  • When the outer corners are slanted upward, giving a sharp or harsh impression.
  • When you desire a larger and softer, more approachable eye shape.
  • When you are dissatisfied with the eye size even after double eyelid surgery.

Dual canthoplasty Dual Canthoplasty

Lowering the Outer Corners and the 'U-shaped' Deformity Complication

The outer corners of the eyes are firmly fixed by the Lateral Canthal Ligament.
Therefore, surgery to lower the eye corners typically involves incising the existing ligament and
fixing only the lower eyelid to a new position.
In this process, if the fixation points of the upper and lower eyelids differ,
the mucous membrane and skin may meet directly,
resulting in a 'U-shaped' (D-shaped) deformity.
Dual Canthoplasty is an effective way to prevent these issues.

surgical method Principles of Dual Canthoplasty

Dual Canthoplasty: Naturally correcting the angle and line of the eye corners simultaneously without re-adhesion.

Lower lid lowering surgery

Securely lowers the lower eyelid to broaden the eye angle.

lateral canthoplasty

Gently releases the adhesion (joined area) between the upper and lower eyelids.

Lateral Canthoplasty

Dual Canthoplasty
(Lateral Canthoplasty
+ Lower Eyelid Canthoplasty)

  • Lateral Canthoplasty
    Minimal expansion of the eye area.
    High probability of re-adhesion (joining back together).
    Subtle changes only.
  • Dual Canthoplasty (Lower lid lowering surgery + lateral canthoplasty)
    Significant expansion of the eye corners.
    Achieves an ideal, beautiful 4:5 eye ratio.
    Noticeable and dramatic results.
Maintains a Natural Eye Line

The opened area does not re-adhere, ensuring a lasting and natural-looking eye shape.

Initial announcement Presentation by Dr. Moon-seop Choi
of Grace Plastic Surgery on Under-eye Canthoplasty

In 2009, Dr. Moon-seop Choi was the first to introduce the term "Under-eye Canthoplasty" in Korea.
As it became an essential procedure to perform alongside Lateral Canthoplasty, he coined the term
"Dual Canthoplasty" around 2010.

Since then, he has delivered numerous lectures at plastic surgery conferences. In 2012, he presented his work to the Korean Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery under the title:
"Lowering the Outer Lower Eyelid via Conjunctiva (A.K.A. Under-eye Canthoplasty)."

Medial epicanthoplasty Medial epicanthoplasty

Unrivaled epicanthoplasty technique that preserves under-eye bags without leaving scars, distinct from other hospitals
  • Minimal Scar Length Design

    The incision ends deep inside the lower eyelid,
    making the visible scar almost non-existent.

  • No Orbicularis Oculi Muscle Incision

    By preserving the muscle, the natural "Aegyo-sal" (under-eye roll) is maintained, ensuring a soft inner corner.
    This is especially suitable for those worried about losing their under-eye volume after surgery.

  • Natural Oriental Inner Line

    Instead of an unnaturally wide-open look,
    we achieve a natural expansion that respects the original shape of your eyes.

FAQ Frequently Asked Questions

  • Expanding excessively to the red flesh (caruncle) can make the eyes look too close together. Grace adjusts the ratio so that the red portion of the inner corner is visible to a proper extent, completing a natural and refreshed eye shape.

  • The procedure is performed using a micro-incision method, so scars are barely visible. It recovers naturally and smoothly after surgery.

  • Yes, it is possible. We proceed with a customized combination based on the eye shape and skin condition, designing the most harmonious look by comprehensively considering the length, angle, and balance of the eyes.
