How to know if you are suitable for canthus opening?

In today's society, many female friends with small eyes want to make their eyes bigger by opening their canthoplasty. However, after going to the plastic surgery hospital, many people are told by the doctor that they are not suitable for canthoplasty surgery. So how do you know whether it is appropriate to open the canthus? In fact, if you want to know whether you are suitable for canthoplasty, you must first know what kind of eyes are most ideal.

1. What are the most ideal eyes?

Generally speaking, human eyes are divided into the white part, the black part, and the red tissue at the inner corner of the eye. The most ideal eyes are those that can see about 50-80% of the red tissue at the inner corner of the eye.

Many Asians have the phenomenon of epicanthus, which is a small skin fold at the inner corner of the eye, extending slightly downward from the upper eyelid, covering the lacrimal caruncle. The epicanthus is a special fold of skin at the inner corner of the eye that more or less covers the lacrimal caruncle.

2. What eye shape is suitable for inner canthus opening?

Opening the inner canthus can narrow the distance between the two eyes and improve the facial appearance; improve the shape of the starting point and inner side of the double eyelids; beautify the double eyelids; increase the horizontal span of the eyes to make the eyes appear longer; combined with double eyelids, it can also make the eyes bigger; and relieve the accumulation of eye secretions in the lacrimal caruncle.

1. Patients with epicanthus or deformity of adjacent parts

This type of eyes will appear listless and tired, and usually people with single eyelids or inner double eyelids have this shape. In fact, the effect of inner canthus surgery is best for this type of eyes.

2 People with wide eye distance

People with wide eye distance are also suitable for inner canthus surgery, which can not only shorten the distance between the eyes, but also cooperate with rhinoplasty to make the face more three-dimensional!

If the distance between the eyes is too wide, you can try double eyelid surgery + inner canthus opening.

3. What eye shape is suitable for canthoplasty?

The function of canthoplasty (also called posterior canthoplasty) is to make the eyes longer, enlarge the palpebral fissure, increase the field of vision and improve the viewing angle; in addition, it can improve the drooping corners of the eyes.

1To make the eyes bigger

Lateral canthoplasty is a surgery to open the outer corners of the eyes, which is a surgery to make the eyes bigger. Each person's eye condition is different, and the approach taken during canthal surgery is also different. Most people choose to have a canthoplasty surgery at the same time as a double eyelid surgery, which can achieve better results.

2Correction of eyelid closure

Incomplete eyelid closure refers to the inability of the upper and lower eyelids to close completely, resulting in partial exposure of the eyeball, also known as lagophthalmos. Canthoplasty in plastic surgery is usually limited to the skin and muscle tissue level, and many canthoplasty surgeries are at the intersection of cosmetic surgery and ophthalmology.
