Hello~

💎your beauty universe! This is Dr. Shim Jeong-hwan, Head Director of Uverse Plastic Surgery :)💎

Eye surgery is one of the most popular and frequently performed procedures.

Asian eyes can feel even smaller if they are naturally small, lack double eyelids, and have limited openness.

Usually, people prefer a refreshing eye shape with double eyelids.

For this reason, double eyelid surgery is commonly performed,

but in cases where the eyes look very stuffy or closed off, lateral canthoplasty, lower canthoplasty, or epicanthoplasty are often performed together.

​

Canthoplasty is typically performed when you want a more defined eye shape, when your eyes look stuffy due to epicanthic folds,

when your outer corners are slanted upwards giving a sharp impression, or when your eyes still look closed off even after getting double eyelids.

These are the common reasons for proceeding with the surgery.

​

However, there are cases where the incisions fuse back together during the recovery process after canthoplasty,

or they gradually re-adhere over time.

​

Today, let's find out why canthoplasty incisions fuse back together.

Why Do Canthoplasty Incisions Fuse Back Together?

Sometimes the scar heals differently from the surgical position,

and other times the fixation sutures weaken, causing the tissue to revert back.

To compensate for these drawbacks, Uverse Plastic Surgery adjusts the angle of the lateral canthus

and performs a Corner Canthoplasty that extends the horizontal length and lowers the outer tail of the eye.

​

In addition, by securely fixing the lateral canthus to prevent re-adhesion, it also prevents the webbed "C-shaped" deformity,

so the possibility of the incisions fusing back together is quite low.

​

Because it is most important to have canthoplasty performed by a specialist with abundant surgical experience,

we recommend receiving the procedure from medical staff equipped with the know-how for highly satisfying canthoplasty results.

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes the corners of the eyes to reattach after canthoplasty?

This happens because the scar tissue in the surgical area heals differently or the sutures used for fixation weaken. During the recovery process or over time, if the fixation strength of the sutures decreases, the canthoplasty area can revert to its original state and reattach.

In what cases is canthoplasty typically performed?

It is mainly performed when epicanthal folds make the eyes appear stuffy or when upturned eye corners create a sharp impression. It can also be an effective improvement method for those who desire more defined eyes or when eyes still appear stuffy even after double eyelid surgery.

Can reattachment of the canthoplasty area be prevented?

Yes, it can be prevented with Corner Canthoplasty using lateral canthal fixation. By adjusting and firmly fixing the lateral canthus of the eye at various angles, the likelihood of reattachment is significantly reduced, and common side effects such as D-shaped deformation can also be effectively prevented.

What are the effects of Corner Canthoplasty?

It has the effect of extending the horizontal length of the eye and lowering the outer corner of the eye. By adjusting and fixing the lateral canthus at various angles, a definite canthoplasty effect that prevents reattachment can be achieved, creating a more refreshed eye shape.
