Retmus Plastic Surgery
What is Canthoplasty?
Canthoplasty is a procedure designed to create naturally larger and
more open-looking eyes by taking into account the individual’s facial proportions and eye shape.
In many cases, double eyelid surgery alone is not enough to achieve a clear and refreshed eye appearance.
When the inner epicanthal fold causes a heavy or closed-in look, procedures such as medial canthoplasty can improve it. Additionally, lateral canthoplasty helps adjust the angle and length of the outer eye.
Together, these techniques can create a brighter, more defined, and sophisticated impression.
Retmus Plastic Surgery
Retmus Canthoplasty Method
Retmus canthoplasty minimizes scarring and delivers natural results through precise design and a stable, carefully executed surgical process.
- 1.
- Medial Canthoplasty
- Method 01
- Design Planning
A personalized surgical design is created for each individual.
- Method 02
- Epicanthal Fold Dissection
Through a minimal incision, the epicanthal fold is dissected—typically upward at a 45-degree angle when necessary.
- Method 03
- Skin Excision and Suturing
Excess skin is removed and the area is sutured precisely.
- Method 04
- Creation of a Natural Eye Shape
A natural, more open, and refreshed eye appearance is achieved.
- 2.
- Lateral Canthoplasty
- Method 01
- Design Planning
The surgical design is created considering the eye’s length and width, as well as the angle of the outer eye corner.
- Method 02
- Orbicularis Muscle Dissection
The orbicularis muscle is carefully dissected to prevent recurrence.
- Method 03
- Periosteal Fixation
The distance between the outer eye corner and the orbital bone is measured, and the orbicularis muscle is securely fixed to the periosteum.
- Method 04
- Extension and Suturing of the Outer Eye Corner
Tissue that may cause adhesion is removed, and the outer eye corner is extended outward and sutured.
- Method 05
- Creation of a Smooth and Refreshed Eye Shape
A smooth, open, and refreshed eye appearance is achieved.
Ideal Candidates
Who May Benefit from Canthoplasty
- 01
- Those whose eyes appear small or narrow due to a short horizontal width
- 02
- Those who did not achieve significant results from double eyelid surgery alone
- 03
- Those with minimal visible sclera(white of the eye)
- 04
- Those who want bigger, more open eyes
- 05
- Those who want to create a softer and more sophisticated appearance
- 06
- Those with prominent epicanthal folds
- 07
- Those with sharply angled outer eye corners that create a harsh impression
Retmus Dual Canthoplasty
Brighter, More Open Eyes with
Two Types of Canthoplasty,
Retmus Dual Canthoplasty
Retmus Dual Canthoplasty combines lateral canthoplasty and lowering lateral canthoplasty to simultaneously enhance the openness of the eyes.
While canthoplasty can be performed individually, combining multiple techniques according to the patient’s eye shape can create bigger, more refreshed-looking eyes.
In particular, performing lateral canthoplasty and lowering lateral canthoplasty together expands both the horizontal and vertical dimensions of the eyes, resulting in a naturally larger, more open, and refreshed appearance.
Retmus Plastic Surgery
Retmus Dual Canthoplasty Method
At Retmus, the cause and condition are carefully analyzed to determine the most suitable surgical approach.
- Method 01
- Narrow or Heavy-Looking Eyes
The appearance of the eyes before surgery may look small or closed-in.
- Method 02
- Design Planning
A specialist conducts a precise assessment and creates a personalized surgical design.
- Method 03
- Lateral Canthoplasty
Lateral canthoplasty is performed to expand the horizontal width of the eyes.
- Method 04
- Lowering Lateral Canthoplasty
Lowering lateral canthoplasty is performed to expand the vertical height of the eyes.
- Method 05
- Larger, Refreshed Eyes
The result is naturally bigger, more open, and refreshed-looking eyes.
