Canthoplasty in Korea
RINE Plastic surgery clinic
What is RINE Plastic Surgery’s Canthoplasty?
RINE Plastic Surgery’s signature canthoplasty expands the overall eye area.
Both lateral and lower canthoplasty are performed simultaneously to increase the horizontal and vertical dimensions of the eyes, helping create a larger, more open, and refreshed eye shape.
In addition to enlarging the eye length and height, it also improves the eye corners, allowing for a more refined eye shape and the desired overall impression.
For softer, lengthened eyes
Canthoplasty at RINE
If the eyes have a horizontally short or have an upward-tilted outer corner that creates a sharp impression, the outer corner of the eye can be adjusted downward to achieve the desired eye shape and softer overall look. By securely fixing the structure to the periosteum (bone membrane), the results are designed to remain stable without loosening. It also increases the visible white area on the outer side of the eye, making the eyes appear larger.
Before Canthoplasty
Short horizontal eye length with a sharp impression.
After Canthoplasty
The eye length and height are expanded, creating an ideal eye corner position.
Reduced re-adhesion
The periosteal fixation method reduces the possibility of re-adhesion after incision.
Improved durability
By securely fixing the outer part of the eye to the periosteum, canthoplasty results are stabilized, and thus longer lasting.
Softer impression
The angle of the eye’s outer corner is naturally adjusted to create a softer, more refreshed eye shape.

Procedure Candidates
Who is Canthoplasty Recommended For?
Canthoplasty at RINE is recommended for the following people:
Canthoplasty Surgical Method
Canthoplasty is a procedure that extends the outer corner of the eyes while also widening them downward. This increases both the horizontal and vertical dimensions of the eyes, creating a more open and softer eye shape. It is recommended for those who want to soften a sharp or harsh impression and achieve a more refreshed and gentle look.
Design
The extent of the canthoplasty is planned according to each individual’s eye characteristics.
Micro-incision
A precise incision is made along the lash line at the outer corner of the eye, and any excess skin is removed.
Fixation of the canthoplasty
The outer corner of the eye is opened and securely fixed to the periosteum at the back-lower area of the eye to prevent loosening. The skin is then carefully and precisely sutured.
Final result
A natural, elongated eye shape is achieved.
Results of canthoplasty
By expanding both the length and height of the eyes, a larger and more refreshed eye shape is achieved.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is canthoplasty here designed to do?
It is designed to expand the overall eye area by performing both lateral and lower canthoplasty together, increasing the horizontal and vertical dimensions of the eyes for a larger, more open, and refreshed eye shape.
How long does the surgery take, and what is recovery like?
The surgery takes less than 30 minutes. Suture removal is after 7 days, anesthesia is sedation, recovery is within 1 week, and 1 follow-up visit is listed.
What kind of eye shape change can I expect?
The procedure is intended to lengthen and widen the eyes while adjusting the outer corner downward when needed, which can create a softer, more refreshed, and more natural-looking impression.
How does this procedure help reduce re-adhesion?
It uses periosteal fixation, which means the outer part of the eye is securely fixed to the periosteum. This is described as reducing the possibility of re-adhesion after incision and helping the results stay stable.
Why might someone choose this canthoplasty approach?
It is presented as offering balanced eye design, a clearer and more open appearance, long-lasting results through periosteal fixation, and minimal visible scarring through minimal incisions.
Who is this procedure recommended for?
It is recommended for people whose outer eye corners are blocked and make the eyes look dull or constricted, whose outer corners are upturned and create a sharp expression, whose eyes still look dull after lateral canthoplasty, who want a clearly open and refreshed eye shape, or whose lower pupil area is covered.
How is the procedure performed step by step?
First, the design is planned according to each person’s eye characteristics. Next, a precise micro-incision is made along the lash line at the outer corner and excess skin is removed. Then the outer corner is opened and fixed to the periosteum at the back-lower area of the eye, followed by careful suturing. The stated final result is a natural, elongated eye shape.
What results are highlighted for canthoplasty?
The listed results include a more open and refreshed eye shape, a softer and more natural impression, a clearer and more defined eye appearance, long-lasting results without concern for loosening, and a brighter, more vivid overall look.
Do lateral and lower canthoplasty have to be done together?
They can be performed individually, but the effect may be limited and the eye proportions may look less natural when only one is done. For a more effective and natural result, doing both together is generally recommended.
Does lateral canthoplasty often re-adhere?
The answer given is that it depends on the surgical technique. With the dual canthoplasty method described here, the outer corner is securely fixed to the periosteum, so the likelihood of re-adhesion or recurrence is said to be very low.
