Will the corner of my eye hurt during canthoplasty surgery?

Canthoplasty is the best treatment for microphthalmia. It not only broadens the field of vision, but also makes the eyes look more beautiful. But will the corner of my eye hurt during canthoplasty surgery? Most people don't quite understand this issue. In fact, the whole process of canthoplasty is painless because the surgery is performed under local anesthesia.

1. What is canthoplasty?

What we often call canthoplasty refers to the inner canthus opening surgery. Inner canthus opening is to open the epicanthus that blocks the inner canthus, so that the inner canthus structure is exposed, achieving the purpose of making small eyes bigger.

2. Will canthoplasty surgery be painful?

The expert told us that canthoplasty surgery requires anesthesia. Before administering anesthesia, some doctors will drop some temporary anesthetic solution in the eyes. This anesthetic solution will only work for a few dozen seconds, so it won't hurt when the anesthesia is administered.

Because of the effect of anesthesia, the whole canthoplasty surgery process is painless, whether it is cutting the eyelid or opening the canthus. Some people may feel a little pain when removing fat, but it is not very painful, just like the pain of an IV drip, which most people can accept.

Only a doctor with superb medical skills and skilled operation can perfectly complete the operation and reduce the pain felt by the patient. However, if the doctor is not very professional, pain is inevitable. Therefore, due to the high requirements of the surgery, it is recommended that you go to a regular plastic surgery hospital for canthoplasty surgery. This will make the operation safer and more smooth.

3. Side Effects of Canthoplasty

Canthoplasty is an eye plastic surgery that can remove wrinkles on the inside of the eyes. It is a technique that removes wrinkles that hide the inside of the eyes, making your eyes look more energetic and larger.

Although canthoplasty can make your eyes 2~3mm longer in width, if it is performed at the same time as double eyelid surgery, it will actually make the eyes longer and the distance between the eyebrows narrower, giving you more attractive eyes. At the same time, experts point out that whether it harms the eyes is related to your surgical preparation and care. For example, you should be well prepared before the operation to avoid any eye diseases and serious medical conditions. After canthoplasty, you should follow the doctor's instructions for care. If any unexpected conditions occur after the operation, you should contact an expert in time.
