Introduction
In most cases, the results of eye corner surgery are quite good, as it can enlarge the eyes and make them appear brighter and more vibrant. Eye corner surgery is divided into inner and outer eye corner procedures. The inner eye corner surgery mainly involves removing the epicanthal fold at the inner corner of the eye, fully exposing the overall structure of the eye corner, thereby achieving a certain degree of eye enlargement.
Generally, the results of eye corner surgery are quite good. The procedure can enlarge the eyes, making them appear brighter and more expressive. Eye corner surgery is divided into inner canthoplasty and outer canthoplasty. Detailed explanations are as follows:
1. Inner Canthoplasty
The main purpose of inner canthoplasty is to remove the epicanthal fold at the inner corner of the eye, fully exposing the overall structure of the eye corner, thereby achieving a certain degree of eye enlargement. This method is particularly suitable for individuals with small eyes, an epicanthal fold, or a wide distance between the eyes.
2. Outer Canthoplasty
Outer canthoplasty can improve eye deformities and conditions such as microphthalmia (small eyes), making the eyes appear larger and more vibrant. Additionally, during the procedure, the curvature of the outer eye corner can be adjusted to make the eyes look longer.
Eye corner surgery is a minimally invasive procedure with minimal bleeding and little to no visible scarring. However, after surgery, it's important to keep the surgical area clean and avoid contact with water to prevent infection.
In summary, it is essential to choose a reputable plastic surgery hospital and an experienced surgeon when undergoing eye corner surgery. This ensures optimal postoperative results and reduces the risk of complications.
