Lateral Canthoplasty
Opening the outer corner of the eye
to improve a stuffy eye appearance
If you want to increase eye size or horizontal width but have a narrow intercanthal distance, short lateral eye length, or relatively round outer eye contour, lateral canthoplasty can make the eyes appear larger and more open.
Additionally, slightly lowering an upturned outer corner can transform the eyes into a softer, more gentle impression.
Lateral canthoplasty takes into account the degree of eye protrusion and the space around the outer corner
to determine the optimal extent, and secures the tissue to the periosteum so there is no concern of reversal, achieving larger, more attractive eyes.
Effective for those who want
longer, more refreshed eyes
by expanding the outer corner!

Why HUGO Plastic Surgery's
Eye Opening Surgery Is Special!
-
01Customized Eye Opening Surgery
Through precise analysis and consultation, we perform
personalized eye opening surgery for larger, refreshing eyes. -
02Synergy with Double Eyelid Surgery
It can be performed alone, but combined with double eyelid surgery,
even more satisfying results can be achieved. -
03Prevention of Re-adhesion
To prevent re-adhesion side effects,
we firmly secure and connect the skin and muscles.
The key is extending the horizontal eye length
to create larger, more refreshed eyes!
An incision is made where the upper and lower eyelids meet at the outer corner, and sutures extend to the inner conjunctiva.
The incision is carefully placed to avoid damaging the lateral canthal tendon that maintains the eye shape.
