Is it attractive to perform inner canthoplasty without double eyelid surgery?

Generally, double eyelid surgery refers to blepharoplasty. Blepharoplasty uses internal incisions, external incisions, or suturing methods to create a double eyelid. The usual reference price for blepharoplasty is 3000-10000 yuan per session, with visible improvement generally seen within 7-14 days; however, symptoms such as hematoma and inflammation may occur. Canthoplasty, or epicanthoplasty, refers to surgery that enlarges the corners of the eyes via an operative approach. The usual reference price for canthoplasty is 3000-5000 yuan per session, with visible improvement generally seen within 7-10 days; possible side effects include pain and hematoma. Whether undergoing only canthoplasty without blepharoplasty will be aesthetically pleasing mainly depends on individual circumstances. If facial and ocular features are harmonious, the result may look quite good; if facial and ocular features are not harmonious, the result may not look good. Detailed analysis is as follows:

If the proportion between the face and eyes is relatively harmonious, the eyes are well-defined, not inherently small, and the facial contours are soft, undergoing only canthoplasty without blepharoplasty may still look aesthetically pleasing. Canthoplasty can improve epicanthal folds, making the eyes appear brighter and more expressive, thereby enhancing overall aesthetics.

However, if the proportion between the face and eyes is not harmonious, the eye corners are naturally small, the eye shape is not refined, and the facial contours are coarse and not soft, undergoing only canthoplasty without blepharoplasty may not improve the overall shape of the eyes. In such cases, it is necessary to perform blepharoplasty promptly under a doctor's guidance, and then determine the extent of canthoplasty according to the size of the eyes.

If considering such procedures, it is recommended to consult a doctor first and then choose the appropriate plastic surgery method based on your personal condition. Additionally, proper post-operative care is required, including maintaining local hygiene and sun protection, to promote wound recovery.
