Lateral canthoplasty shapes the outer corner of the eye, transforming fierce or cat-like eyes into a softer, more approachable expression.
How It Works
The procedure adjusts the outer corner of the eye, changing the horizontal dimension and slant of the palpebral fissure (eye opening). This enlarges the eye and modifies its angle.
Who Benefits Most
Lateral canthoplasty is ideal for those with:
- Upward-slanting eyes (cat eyes)
- Eyes that appear too narrow
- A "fierce" or intense expression
- Desire for a softer, friendlier look
Korean Excellence
South Korea is the only country that regularly utilizes changes in all four vectors of the eye. This comprehensive approach means Korean surgeons are global experts in lateral canthoplasty.
Recovery Considerations
Lateral canthoplasty requires 2-4 weeks to look natural. Korean surgeons have mastered techniques that minimize scarring, though a faint scar where the incision was made may be visible initially.
