Canthoplasty in Korea

01 — Overview

Canthoplasty

Lateral canthoplasty extends the outer corner of the eye, lengthening it horizontally for a larger, softer and more elongated eye shape.

When the outer corner limits eye length or the eye looks short or upturned, lateral canthoplasty extends the outer corner to lengthen the eye and soften its expression. It is often combined with inner-corner (epicanthoplasty) or double-eyelid work for an overall larger, balanced eye.
