Where is the corner of the eye

I believe many people have heard of the plastic surgery called canthoplasty, which can remove the inner canthus skin around a person's eyes to make the eyes look bigger. Since canthoplasty surgery is not as complicated as other plastic surgeries, many people who are not satisfied with their eyes will choose to have it done. But before opening the canthus, some people still have doubts. Which part of the eye does the canthus refer to?

The canthus is a general term for the canthus. The inner canthus (close to the bridge of the nose) is called the big canthus, and the outer canthus (close to the temple) is called the small canthus. The canthus refers to the angle between the upper eyelid and the lower eyelid of the human eye. Usually, the canthus refers to the range area of ​​the eye.

Should I open my eyes in the front or in the back?

Both the inner and outer canthus can be opened, depending on your needs.

How to choose eye opening

Many Asians have the phenomenon of epicanthus, which is a small skin fold at the inner corner of the eye, extending slightly downward from the upper eyelid, covering the lacrimal caruncle. The epicanthus is a special fold of skin at the inner corner of the eye that more or less covers the lacrimal caruncle.

What eye shape is suitable for inner canthus opening?

Opening the inner canthus can narrow the distance between the two eyes and improve the facial appearance; improve the shape of the starting point and inner side of the double eyelids; beautify the double eyelids; increase the horizontal span of the eyes to make the eyes appear longer; combined with double eyelids, it can also make the eyes bigger; and relieve the accumulation of eye secretions in the lacrimal caruncle.

1. Patients with epicanthus or deformity of adjacent parts

This type of eyes will appear listless and tired, and usually people with single eyelids or inner double eyelids have this shape. In fact, the effect of inner canthus surgery is best for this type of eyes.

2 People with wide eye distance

People with wide eye distance are also suitable for inner canthus surgery, which can not only shorten the distance between the eyes, but also cooperate with rhinoplasty to make the face more three-dimensional!

If the distance between the eyes is too wide, you can try double eyelid surgery + inner canthus opening.

What eye shape is suitable for canthoplasty?

The function of canthoplasty (also called posterior canthoplasty) is to make the eyes longer, enlarge the palpebral fissure, increase the field of vision and improve the viewing angle; in addition, it can improve the drooping corners of the eyes.

Lateral canthoplasty is a surgery to open the outer corners of the eyes, which is a surgery to make the eyes bigger. Each person's eye condition is different, and the approach taken during canthal surgery is also different. Most people choose to have a canthus surgery at the same time as a double eyelid surgery, which can achieve better results.

2Correction of eyelid closure

Incomplete eyelid closure refers to the inability of the upper and lower eyelids to close completely, resulting in partial exposure of the eyeball, also known as lagophthalmos. Canthoplasty in plastic surgery is usually limited to the skin and muscle tissue level, and many canthoplasty surgeries are at the intersection of cosmetic surgery and ophthalmology.
