While double eyelid surgery remains Korea's most popular procedure, eye surgery options extend far beyond this single operation. Understanding the full range helps you achieve your ideal eye shape.
Lateral canthoplasty lengthens the eye horizontally by extending the outer corner, creating larger-appearing eyes. It's often combined with double eyelid surgery for comprehensive reshaping. Recovery takes 1-2 weeks, with final results visible in 3-6 months.
Epicanthoplasty addresses the inner eye corner, reducing or removing the epicanthal fold for a more open-eyed appearance. This procedure is particularly popular among East Asian patients wanting larger-looking eyes while maintaining ethnic characteristics.
Under-eye fat repositioning addresses eye bags and hollow tear troughs simultaneously, creating a refreshed appearance without the "operated" look. Korean surgeons excel at this procedure, often performing it under local anesthesia.
Ptosis correction lifts drooping eyelids that cover the pupil, simultaneously improving vision and aesthetics. Many patients don't realize their tired appearance stems from ptosis rather than simple aging.
Combination procedures are common, with surgeons often recommending complementary operations for balanced results.
