The eyes are often referred to as the windows to the soul. However, not everyone is born with the ideal eye shape. As a result, more and more people are choosing canthoplasty to achieve bigger, more beautiful, and expressive eyes. If you are also interested in this cosmetic procedure, read on to learn more from Reconstrutive Surgery SMC!

What is Canthoplasty?

Canthoplasty is a surgical technique where the surgeon removes excess skin from the inner and outer corners of the eyes based on precise calculations. This alters the length of the eyelids and the outer corners of the eyes, skillfully reshaping the eye’s surface for a wider and more youthful appearance.

Canthoplasty includes two main types: epicanthoplasty (opening the inner corner) and lateral canthoplasty (opening the outer corner). Depending on your desired outcome and individual condition, the surgeon will recommend the appropriate procedure.

• Epicanthoplasty involves making a small incision in the lower eyelid’s inner corner to remove excess skin. This reshapes the epicanthal fold, increasing the opening and size of the eyes for a wider, more rounded look. The incision is then closed with fine sutures.

• Lateral canthoplasty is performed to remove excess skin and reshape the crease at the outer corner of the eye. This procedure creates the illusion of more white showing in the eyes, making them appear longer and more elegant.

According to experts, everyone has an epicanthal fold at the inner corner of their eyes, which is a fold of skin that stretches across the corner of the eye. In some cases, an excessively large epicanthal fold covers a significant portion of the eye, making the eyes appear smaller and creating a wider distance between them. This imbalance can significantly affect facial aesthetics.

Advantages of Canthoplasty

• Achieves larger, more defined eyes with balanced and natural-looking eyelids immediately after surgery.
• Minimally invasive procedure with no pain or visible scarring.
• Widens the inner corners of the eyes, reducing the distance between the eyes for a more harmonious facial appearance.
• Does not affect vision or tear ducts.
• Quick procedure, completed within 20-30 minutes.
• Offers high aesthetic value and safety for patients.
• Requires no downtime, allowing patients to return to their daily activities immediately after surgery.

Ideal Candidates for Canthoplasty

• Men and women over 18 years old seeking larger, more defined eyes with double eyelids.
• Individuals with monolids, small eyes, or narrow inner and outer corners that make the face appear wider.
• Those with a wide distance between the eyes, causing facial imbalance.
• People whose vision is obstructed by the epicanthal fold.
• Individuals with short, narrow eyes or protruding eyeballs.
• Those with double eyelids but small eye size.

Canthoplasty Procedure at Reconstrutive Surgery SMC

The entire canthoplasty procedure at SMC is performed in strict accordance with the regulations of the Ministry of Health.

Step 1: Consultation and Examination

• The doctor will consult with you and examine your eye condition to determine the appropriate canthoplasty method.

Step 2: Health Check

• You will undergo a health check, including blood pressure measurement, blood tests, and a general health assessment, according to the standards of the Ministry of Health. If you do not meet the health requirements, surgery will not be performed.

Step 3: Aesthetic Measurements

• The doctor will measure your eye shape and mark the incision lines to ensure balanced, elongated, and beautiful eyes. The standard distance between the two corners of the eyes is determined to be between 3-3.6 cm.

Step 4: Anesthesia

• Before canthoplasty, the surgical area will be sterilized, and local anesthesia will be administered to eliminate any pain during the procedure.

Step 5: Surgical Procedure

• Depending on your eye condition, the doctor will apply the appropriate technique, either epicanthoplasty or lateral canthoplasty. After the procedure, the incisions will be closed with fine sutures.

Step 6: Post-Operative Care

• After surgery, you will be given 1-2 hours to rest and allow your eyes to stabilize. The doctor will provide post-operative care instructions, schedule a follow-up appointment, and you will be able to return home and resume normal activities.

Post-Operative Care Instructions for Canthoplasty

Post-operative care plays a crucial role in the success of your canthoplasty, contributing to 50% of the overall outcome. Therefore, it’s essential to follow these guidelines:

• Avoid touching or applying pressure to the eye area and refrain from strenuous activities after surgery.
• Clean and care for the incision as instructed by your doctor.
• Protect your eyes from dust and debris by wearing protective eyewear when outdoors.
• Avoid eye makeup, contact lenses, and rubbing your eyes.
• Refrain from consuming foods that you are allergic to.
• Get plenty of rest and avoid prolonged screen time.
• Attend follow-up appointments as requested by your doctor.
• Stay hydrated and incorporate fruit juices that promote wound healing, such as apple, papaya, and orange juice, into your daily diet.
• Consume plenty of green vegetables, fruits, protein-rich foods, and vitamins to accelerate the recovery process.

Following the post-operative care instructions provided by your doctor not only promotes faster healing but also reduces the risk of visible scarring.

Potential Complications of Canthoplasty at Unqualified Clinics

Choosing an unlicensed facility or an unqualified practitioner for your canthoplasty can expose you to several undesirable complications.

1. Excessive Intervention During Canthoplasty:

If the canthoplasty procedure involves excessive intervention or overly deep incisions, it can result in visible scarring and eyelid malposition, such as ectropion (outward turning of the eyelid), negatively impacting your facial aesthetics.

2. Eye Swelling and Inflammation:

Some swelling and inflammation around the eyes are expected in the initial days after canthoplasty. However, if this persists for an extended period and is accompanied by pain and discomfort, seek immediate medical attention. This could indicate an infection due to unsanitary practices during the procedure or improper post-operative care.
