Eye surgery must be planned in consideration of the individual's eye characteristics and overall facial harmony, and special care must be taken during surgery not to affect the structures around the eyes.
 

The eyes are the first place a person's gaze lands when meeting someone, and they play an important role in determining first impressions. This is why many people consider eye surgery at some point to improve their image.
 

From the most popular double eyelid surgery to epicanthoplasty and lateral canthoplasty, eye surgery has become highly diverse thanks to advances in medical technology. However, the eyes are the most sensitive and delicate area, so the potential impact on the surrounding structures must be considered during surgery. Whether to have surgery should also be decided in consideration of each individual's eye condition and overall facial harmony.

Among eye surgeries, lateral canthoplasty in particular is considered quite a demanding procedure. For small eyes or eyes with excessively upturned outer corners, it extends the horizontal length by opening the lateral canthus at the outer corner, transforming the look into a brighter, softer impression.
 

Dr. Hyung-jun Kim of NANA Plastic Surgery said, "However, focusing solely on making the eyes bigger can result in a shape that does not suit the eyes, or the opened area can re-adhere, ultimately requiring revision surgery."
 

He added, "To resolve these issues, it is important to plan the surgery with a good understanding of the individual's eye characteristics. If the eyes are asymmetrical, the canthoplasty should be performed with the angle adjusted step by step."
 

Dr. Kim also advised, "Choosing the appropriate surgical method for an individual's eye condition requires the experience and know-how of the medical staff. It is best to check through the clinic's website whether the medical staff have extensive experience and know-how and whether before-and-after results are clearly explained with photos, and then choose a trustworthy clinic."
