by extending horizontal and vertical length
SINSANG Canthoplasty
Natural, effective
eye extension
Perfection that doesn't miss even 0.1 mm of detail
The distance between the eyes, angle and width are precisely adjusted
to prevent side effects and create open, bright eyes
Natural, effective
eye extension
Inner and outer eye corners covered by epicanthal folds
and harsh-looking outer corners are improved
into your desired eye shape, clearer and more open
Customized design
by eye structure
We precisely analyze eye length and shape, the direction of the epicanthal fold and more
to design canthoplasty suited
to each person's eyes.
Stable results
by preventing adhesion
Tissue that causes adhesion is removed,
and precise suturing minimizes the chance
of the surgical area reattaching.
Minimal Scar Exposure
A tiny incision follows the area close to the conjunctival line,
sutured cleanly
without visible scars.

Upturned outer corners are lowered
for a gentle, innocent eye shape

Canthoplasty FAQ
-
A wide space between the eyes does not mean medial canthoplasty is impossible. In fact, when the eyes are far apart and the epicanthal fold is pronounced, medial canthoplasty can be expected to create a more open, balanced eye shape. However, it is important to determine the appropriate surgical range considering the distance between the eyes, the shape of the epicanthal fold and overall facial proportions.
-
How much lateral canthoplasty can extend the eye varies by individual, depending on the position of the outer corner of the eye, skin elasticity and the bone structure around the eye. Rather than simply opening as much as possible, it is important to create a natural, harmonious eye shape considering eye function and overall proportions. The exact possible range can be confirmed through a consultation with a specialist.
-
Since canthoplasty requires an incision, it is not entirely scar-free. However, the incision position is planned considering the anatomical structure of the eye, and scars that look red or raised early after surgery can gradually fade over time. The degree of scarring and speed of recovery vary depending on individual skin characteristics and the recovery process.
-
Medial canthoplasty focuses on improving the epicanthal fold covering the inner corner of the eye to extend the horizontal length of the eye. Upper canthoplasty, on the other hand, adjusts the skin above the inner corner of the eye to improve a heavy-looking eye shape and helps the double eyelid line connect more naturally. The exact surgical method may vary depending on the eye structure.
-
With lateral and lower canthoplasty, some reattachment may occur during recovery due to tissue adhesion or scar contraction. This possibility varies depending on each person's eye structure, skin characteristics and surgical method. That's why a surgical plan that fully considers the eye structure from the start, and proper aftercare, are important.
-
After canthoplasty, temporary bruising and swelling may occur, and the degree depends on the extent of surgery and each person's recovery speed. Generally, major swelling and bruising gradually subside over 1–2 weeks, but it may take longer for residual swelling to subside and the tissue to stabilize. Following the post-operative precautions you are given helps recovery.
