What Is Permanent Lateral Canthoplasty?

Incisional Ptosis Correction(Revision)+Medial Epicanthoplasty+Upper Epicanthoplasty+Lateral Canthoplasty(1 year)

Lateral canthoplasty is a surgery that opens the outer corner of the eye.
Many patients experience reattachment or insufficient results after lateral canthoplasty, requiring revision surgery.
SISUN's lateral canthoplasty lasts long without worry of reattachment.

If the outer eye corners are upturned, combining lateral canthoplasty with lower eyelid surgery
can achieve even more dramatic results.

Lateral Canthoplasty Ideal Candidates

  • Outer eye corners
    appear blocked
    and stuffy
  • Desire for
    larger, more
    open eyes
  • Short horizontal
    eye length
  • Eyes are too
    close together,
    making medial
    epicanthoplasty difficult
  • Unsatisfied with
    medial epicanthoplasty
    alone

Worried About These Eye Shapes?

Side Effects from Improper Lateral Canthoplasty
Early lateral canthoplasty procedures involved making a straight-line incision and suturing the outer eye corner area.
As a result, when opening and closing the eyes, the ligaments would pull and reattach, causing the outer corners to form a square shape,
or causing scarring and unnatural appearances.

However, at SISUN Plastic Surgery, a different approach is used: the outer side of the eye corner is incised and fixed to the periosteum
using a pulling method, making it impossible for the outer corner to reattach in a square shape or develop unnecessary scarring.
Sutures are hooked onto the periosteum beside the brow bone and firmly fixed, pulling horizontally for maximum traction.
Clean ">" shape without scarring for both first-time and revision surgery!

Lateral Canthoplasty That Maintains
Its Original Results Without Reattachment
In the past, conventional lateral canthoplasty involved incising the outer skin of the eye,
and during healing, the dissected area would reattach,
resulting in minimal effect.
SISUN's lateral canthoplasty eliminates factors that could cause recurrence during surgery,
enabling correction to wide, refreshed eyes without worry of reattachment.

Dr. Shin's Note Lateral Canthoplasty

Click photos with the button to visit the blog for more details.
Case 7
Lateral Canthoplasty+Incisional Double Eyelid(1 month)
Before
After
Diagnosis

The eyes are long and narrow, tapering further toward the outer corners.

Surgery Note

Lateral canthoplasty widened the pointed outer corners, while incisional double-eyelid surgery increased the vertical opening of the eyes.

Case 8
Lateral Canthoplasty(1 week)
Before
After
Diagnosis

The inner corners have an appropriate degree of lacrimal caruncle exposure, but the outer corners are relatively short.

Surgery Note

As the eyes were already large and well-shaped, subtle lateral canthoplasty was performed to widen only the outer corners.

Case 9
Lateral Canthoplasty(Revision)(10 months)
Before
After
Diagnosis

The eyes were not particularly small, but the patient wanted a longer, more open appearance.

Surgery Note

Lateral canthoplasty expanded the outer corners to increase the horizontal length of the eyes.

Case 10
Lateral Canthoplasty+Non-incisional Ptosis Correction(7 months)
Before
After
Diagnosis

A subtle eyelid crease is hidden beneath the upper lids, making the eyes appear less open.

Surgery Note

Ptosis correction revealed the hidden eyelid creases, while widening the outer corners created a more open appearance.

Case 11
Lateral Canthoplasty(Revision)(1 week)
Before
After
Diagnosis

The patient had lateral canthoplasty 12 years earlier. Re-adhesion left the outer corners with a squared-off shape and a less open appearance.

Surgery Note

Revision surgery reshaped the outer corners into a pointed contour, with periosteal fixation and traction to help prevent re-adhesion.

Case 12
(Revision of all procedures)Lateral Canthoplasty + Natural Adhesion Buried Suture (7 months)
Before
After
Diagnosis

The patient wanted both wider and taller eyes while maintaining a very natural result.

Surgery Note

Because inner-corner exposure was appropriate, lateral canthoplasty was performed without medial epicanthoplasty. Buried-suture double-eyelid surgery added definition to the creases.

Case 13
Lateral Canthoplasty(Revision)(1 week)
Before
After
Diagnosis

Lateral canthoplasty nine years earlier had not produced the desired improvement and had left the outer corners squared off.

Surgery Note

Revision lateral canthoplasty restored a pointed contour and widened the outer corners, improving their appearance.

Case 14
Medial Epicanthoplasty(Revision)+Upper Epicanthoplasty+Lateral Canthoplasty(Revision)(1 month)
Before
After
Diagnosis

The eyes were not small overall, but the patient wanted larger-looking eyes and an out-fold crease.

Surgery Note

Medial epicanthoplasty improved the hooked inner corners, while lateral canthoplasty widened the outer corners and increased the horizontal eye opening.

Case 15
(Revision of all procedures)Lateral Canthoplasty + Lower Eyelid Surgery + Upper Epicanthoplasty (1 month)
Before
After
Diagnosis

The patient had lateral canthoplasty seven months earlier but wanted a more noticeable opening. Preferences vary: some patients seek subtle changes, while others want a more pronounced result.

Surgery Note

There was limited room for further widening after the first lateral canthoplasty. Revision surgery increased the opening within those limits, with a visible change from both front and side views.

Case 16
Medial Epicanthoplasty+Lateral Canthoplasty+Incisional Ptosis Correction(1 month)
Before
After
Diagnosis

This male patient had small eye openings in both dimensions, with hollow upper eyelids.

Surgery Note

Incisional ptosis correction removed excess skin and lifted the eyelids, improving the hollow appearance without additional fat grafting. Medial and lateral canthoplasty also increased horizontal eye length.

Case 17
Lateral Canthoplasty(1 month)
Before
After
Diagnosis

The eyes were already large and round, but the patient wanted wider outer corners and a more open appearance.

Surgery Note

Lateral canthoplasty widened the outer corners within the available anatomical limits, creating longer-looking eyes.

Case 18
Lateral Canthoplasty+Lower Eyelid Surgery+Non-incisional Ptosis Correction(1 month)
Before
After
Diagnosis

The eyes were horizontally long but vertically narrow. The patient wanted to reduce the effort needed to open the eyes and soften their sharp appearance.

Surgery Note

Ptosis correction improved eyelid opening. Lateral and lower canthoplasty extended the outer corners and created a downward shift in their appearance, softening the expression.
