Lateral Canthoplasty (Create Elegant Almond-Shaped Eyes)

· Those in Seoul looking to lengthen the eyes horizontally.
· Those who want to create a more almond-shaped eye appearance.

· Those who wish to achieve a more defined and balanced eye contour.

Lateral Canthoplasty is a minor surgical procedure that extends and reshapes the outer corner of the eye (lateral canthus) to increase the horizontal length of the eyes. By adjusting the outer canthal angle, the procedure enhances eye proportion and creates a longer, more open appearance. It is commonly performed for cosmetic enhancement and may also help improve mild lower eyelid laxity. The results are typically permanent, with minimal visible scarring when performed using proper technique.

Lateral Canthoplasty involves making a small incision at the outer corner of the eye. The lateral canthal tendon is carefully released (lateral cantholysis) and repositioned to a new, slightly extended point along the lateral orbital rim. The tissue is then securely anchored with fine sutures to maintain the new eye shape and angle. Local anesthesia is used to ensure comfort during the procedure. The incision is small and strategically placed to keep scarring minimal and discreet.
