Canthoplasty

If the size of your eyes does not suit your face, even if you have double eyelids, you can achieve wide and bright eyes by uncovering the hidden 1mm through canthoplasty.

What is Eye surgery?

Eye plastic surgery is divided into two types: double eyelid surgery, which makes the eyes larger and clearer, and anti-aging surgery.
In order to complete beautiful eyes and maximize the effect, double eyelid surgery, ptosis correction, canthoplasty and transconjunctival fat repositioning can be performed together as needed. Anti-aging eye surgery includes endoscopic
forehead lift, subbrow lift, upper blepheroplasty, and lower blepheroplasty(undereye bag correction).

What is Canthoplasty?

Wide, bright eyes help you make a good first impression. When the eyes are small and the inner corner and the outer corners are blocked with skin, it can give the impression of being somewhat stuffy. Canthoplasty is procedures that incises the inner corner, outer corner and lowaer parts of the eye and fixes the skin to increase the width and length of the eye. Some Asians may have Mongolian folds, in that case, a medial epicanthoplasty is recommended. If the horizontal length of the eyes is too short, it can be expanded with lateral canthoplasty.

Medial Epicanthoplasty

Medial Epicanthoplasty is a surgery to remove the Mongolian folds, restoring the beautiful horizontal length and creating a refreshing &natural looking eye shape.

Surgical procedure

Hooded eyes with Mongolian folds

Marking and designing the incision site considering the ratio of the face and eyes.

The Mongolian fold in the inner eye is incised and sutured along the inner canthus.

Wide and bright eyes are created

Lateral Canthoplasty

Extend the outer corners of the eyes to widen them and adjust the angle to achieve the desired shape.

SurgicalProcedure

Cat-Eye Surgery

What Makes Braun’s Canthoplasty Unique ?

Height Movement

If your eyes are sharp or the corners of your eyes are raised, we can move your lower lash line downward to soften the corners of your eyes.

Horizontal Movement

If the width of your eyes are too short, you can find a hidden opening and adjust the angle from 10 to 30 degrees to achieve the desired shape.

Compound Movement

We can adjust the inclination of the outer corners of the eyes by extending the eye both horizontally and vertically to achieve the desired eye shape.

Braun's Canthoplasty minimizes all incisions on the conjunctiva, resulting in a natural appearance with no visible stitches or scars. The best results can be obtained by leaving the eyelashes as they are.

Candidates for Canthoplasty

If you have small-looking eyes with a short, horizontal length
If you have Mongolian folds on the inner corners of your eyes
If you have outer corners that are excessively raised or lowered and the impression needs to be improved
If you have a wide distance between the eyes
If you've already had a canthoplasty but the results were unsatisfactory

FAQ

Does Canthoplasty leave a lot of scars?

Scars may be visible for up to a month after surgery, but they gradually fade and are nearly invisible after 6 months.

Is there a limit to how much skin can be trimmed in a Canthoplasty?

The extent of incision that can be made depends on the shape of the eyes. If you go too far, the mucous membrane of the eye may be exposed, and scars may become visible. As a result, after consulting with a specialist, it is advised to proceed within the appropriate range.

Can a double eyelid surgery and a canthoplasty be performed together?

Canthoplasty alters the angle of the inner corner of the eyes or the tail of the eyes. The double eyelid crease can also be connected naturally to create the desired double eyelid crease. We recommend doing them together if you want more effective results.

After undergoing a canthoplasty, can it be reattached?

Side effects of reattachment can occur due to a lack of technical knowledge. Braun prevents reoccurrence by moving the skin and ligaments and ensuring proper fixation during surgery.
