Lateral Canthoplasty Revision: Achieving Natural Changes Through Careful Selection

​

​

Everyone wants to have a beautiful appearance at all times,

and the desire to maintain it is the same for everyone.

​

Therefore, even if there are changes in daily life,

appearance-related concerns and complexes

are still something people wish to change through plastic surgery.

​

In particular, large and clear eyes give a confident

and bright, favorable impression.

​

In other words, it can be considered a key factor

that determines the first impression you give to someone.

​

This is likely because the eyes can convey emotions,

meaning they affect not just a simple change in image,

but also a person's overall aura

and vibe.

​

​

Because of this, many people recently

have been choosing eye surgery.

​

Regarding recent trends in eye changes, those with small, stuffy,

and unclear eyes often feel a lack of confidence

and have aesthetic concerns,

so they desire large and clear eyes that match current trends.

​

Appearance-related concerns can lead to complexes

and stress, which is why many people choose

eye surgery to bring about a change.

​

Generally, eye surgery is often performed

by combining double eyelid surgery and canthoplasty.

​

Among these, an increasing number of people

are choosing lateral canthoplasty, which provides

a large, clear, and refreshing appearance.

​

​

In particular, because it can influence a favorable impression

and a more youthful image,

interest among those with such concerns has grown,

and as preference has increased, it has become popularized.

​

The issue is that people often choose to undergo

surgical changes too easily.

​

Depending on the individual, eye shape, fat volume,

and the amount and strength of the muscles that move the eyes

vary, just as appearances do.

​

In other words, the treatment methods that can be selected

vary depending on the individual's eyes, and if an unsuitable

surgery is chosen, the probability of needing

a lateral canthoplasty revision increases.

​

In fact, even if it's not lateral canthoplasty, there are more people around us

than expected who are considering revision surgery

due to the side effects of eye surgeries

like double eyelid surgery.

​

​

Many people are interested in canthoplasty

along with double eyelid surgery,

and many likely undergo both at the same time.

​

However, if you are considering lateral canthoplasty revision,

we would like to advise you to be cautious.

​

Canthoplasty is a management method often chosen

to alleviate the concerns of those who are told

they look fierce or sharp

due to their outer eye corners slanting upwards.

​

Specifically, lateral canthoplasty is an eye surgery

where an incision is made at the vertex where the tarsal muscles,

which cover the upper and lower eyelids, meet.

It increases the size of the superior and inferior tarsal muscles,

pulls them, and sutures them.

​

It helps lengthen the horizontal width of the eyes,

so if you are concerned about stuffy-looking eyes,

you can experience a refreshing image change

not just through double eyelids, but through the open feel

provided by lateral canthoplasty.

​

​

However, you must be careful with lateral canthoplasty,

because if the surgery involves making an incision at the outer corner

and pulling the lower tarsal plate down excessively,

it can lead to scar tissue and the external exposure

of the red mucous membrane of the eye.

​

Not only is this aesthetically unpleasing,

but the whites of the eyes may also be excessively exposed.

​

In particular, problems such as the lower eyelid

not adhering closely to the eye and floating away

can occur, resulting in the need

to undergo lateral canthoplasty revision.

​

However, for these reasons, lateral canthoplasty

is not unconditionally performed just because

the horizontal length of the eye is short and the outer corners are raised.

​

​

Depending on the eye concerns, if the horizontal length is short

and the distance between the glabella is narrow,

and severe epicanthal folds make the impression

look strong, medial canthoplasty can be used

to remove the epicanthal folds and bring about

a change in the impression and concerns.

​

Alternatively, there are cases where lower canthoplasty

is performed to pull the lower tarsal plate

at the outer corner of the eye downwards.

​

This is because, as mentioned earlier, structural aspects

such as the shape and size of the eyes

are different for every individual.

​

Naturally, the areas of concern also vary by individual,

and this customized approach is to ensure

satisfactory results from the changes.

​

This is because unsatisfactory results

can ultimately lead to a situation

where revision surgery must be considered.

​

​

In particular, lateral and lower canthoplasty are surgeries

where the ligaments of the outer eye corner are moved

to achieve the desired opening effect.

​

If the axis of the eye is deformed,

the eyelid may not adhere properly to the eyeball

and may float, causing eye irritation and scarring,

so caution is required.

​

Tissues damaged and shapes altered

by a single surgery like this

cannot restore themselves.

​

However, in order to find the cause of the problem

and ensure the recovery of the deformed appearance,

the treatment must be planned

even more meticulously and systematically.

​

​

If the cause of the damaged area is not identified

and surgery is forced on an already damaged state,

the tissue will suffer even more damage,

which can result in the formation

of additional scars.

​

To avoid having to undergo a second or third

lateral canthoplasty revision, you must receive a thorough

and precise examination from the medical staff,

followed by an in-depth consultation regarding the treatment.

​

In particular, since the change in image and impression

varies depending on the direction of the canthoplasty, structures like the length

and shape of the eyes must be considered

to provide customized care.

​

​

At Uberps, for lateral canthoplasty revisions caused by

unnatural results and side effects, we aim for naturalness

by assessing the current condition and proceeding with the revision

through a design tailored to the characteristics of the individual's eyes.

​

Our clinic's medical staff has abundant clinical experience,

know-how, and medical knowledge, having helped

various patients achieve their desired changes

across numerous cases over a long period of time.

Our medical professionals are always on standby.

​

During the treatment process, and particularly regarding

issues like infection and resulting scars,

which can be considered the biggest causes of revision surgery,

we use a positive pressure ventilation program

to block outside air from entering,

thereby preventing problems such as contracture and deformation.

​

​

In addition, we provide post-operative care after treatment

to monitor progress, prevent problems,

and proactively address any potential side effects.

​

As this is a procedure that requires a careful decision,

if you have any questions,

please feel free to contact us or visit the clinic

to receive assistance at any time.
