Introduction
Eyecorner opening and double eyelid surgery can generally be performed together in a single procedure, with the operations carried out sequentially. Eyecorner opening can enlarge the eye fissure and reshape the contour of the double eyelid, while double eyelid surgery adjusts the width and curvature of the upper eyelid, resulting in a more attractive appearance. Typically, eyecorner opening and double eyelid surgery can be performed simultaneously, with the surgeon making incisions on the eyelid skin under local anesthesia.

Canthoplasty and double eyelid surgery can generally be performed together in a single procedure, carried out sequentially during the same operation. Specific details are as follows:

Canthoplasty enlarges the eye fissure and reshapes the contour of the double eyelid, while double eyelid surgery adjusts the width and curvature of the upper eyelid, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. Typically, canthoplasty and double eyelid surgery can be performed simultaneously. Under local anesthesia, the surgeon makes incisions on the eyelid skin and combines both procedures in one operation. During surgery, the canthoplasty must be adjusted according to the double eyelid design, ensuring that the size and shape of the eye corner suit the individual's eye characteristics. It is important to note that both double eyelid surgery and canthoplasty should be customized based on the individual’s natural eye structure and facial proportions. The double eyelid should not be made excessively wide, nor should the eye corners be opened too widely, as this may result in an unnatural appearance inconsistent with the patient’s original eye features.

It is recommended that individuals seeking aesthetic enhancement choose reputable medical aesthetic institutions, consult thoroughly with qualified surgeons to develop a suitable surgical plan, and strictly follow postoperative care instructions to achieve optimal and natural-looking results.
