Lateral vs lower canthoplasty
Lateral canthoplasty
Surgery that extends the outer eye corners horizontally to lengthen the eyes
For short, less open-looking eyes, extend the outer corners to increase horizontal width and create a refined eye shape
Lower canthoplasty
Surgery that draws the outer eye corners downward to increase vertical eye height
When upturned outer corners make the eyes look sharp or fierce, gently lower the outer corners to soften the expression and create larger, more open-looking eyes
TIP! Combining lateral and lower canthoplasty can have a greater effect on eye size and overall appearance than lateral canthoplasty alone.

Who may benefit?
- Upturned outer corners give a strong expression
- Short eyes give a less open appearance
- Medial epicanthoplasty alone did not enlarge the eyes
- No effect or visible scars after lateral canthoplasty
- Medial epicanthoplasty is unsuitable because the eyes are close together
- Little of the white of the eye is visible

FAQ
Answers to frequently asked questions about lateral & lower canthoplasty.
How do lateral and lower canthoplasty differ?
Lateral canthoplasty extends the outer eye corners horizontally to lengthen the eyes. Lower canthoplasty lowers the outer corners vertically to increase eye height and soften upturned corners.
What can lateral canthoplasty improve?
For eyes that look short and less open, extending the outer corners increases horizontal width and can help create a longer, more open-eyed appearance.
What can lower canthoplasty improve?
Lower canthoplasty lowers upturned outer corners to soften a strong or sharp expression. Increasing the vertical eye dimension may also help create larger, more open-looking eyes.
Can lateral and lower canthoplasty be combined?
They can be combined depending on the eye anatomy, outer-corner angle, and horizontal-to-vertical proportions. Combining the two can improve both dimensions at once, offering a more effective change in eye size and overall appearance.
Who may be suitable for lateral or lower canthoplasty?
These procedures may be considered for upturned corners that create a strong expression, short horizontal eye length, insufficient enlargement from medial epicanthoplasty alone, unsatisfactory previous lateral canthoplasty, eyes too close together for medial epicanthoplasty, or limited visible whites of the eyes.
How are lateral and lower canthoplasty performed?
The outer-corner shape and extent of opening are designed with overall facial harmony and eye proportions in mind. The conjunctiva inside the outer corner is incised according to the design, the opening is adjusted to the eye proportions, and tissue that may cause adhesion is removed before suturing to make scars less visible.
How long do these procedures take, and what anesthesia is used?
The operation takes about 30 minutes, depending on the individual condition and extent of surgery. It is performed under sedation or local anesthesia, with no overnight stay needed, so you can go home the same day.
When are stitches removed after lateral or lower canthoplasty?
Stitches are usually removed around 7 days after surgery. The timing may vary depending on individual recovery.
How long is recovery after lateral or lower canthoplasty?
Depending on your condition, daily activities may be possible from the day of surgery; generally, they can be resumed after stitch removal. Swelling, bruising, or bleeding may occur, and the recovery process varies by individual.
Can re-adhesion after lateral canthoplasty be reduced?
After lateral or lower canthoplasty, the operated area can reattach through adhesion. JAYJUN Plastic Surgery describes its technique of removing tissue that may cause adhesion and then suturing as a way to reduce this possibility. Results and healing may still differ with eye anatomy and skin condition.
