When Should You Get Mango Canthoplasty?

Hello.

This is Vibe Plastic Surgery.

When looking at patients who visit our clinic for a consultation,

many are unsure about the difference between lateral and lower canthoplasty,

or have various questions about canthoplasty procedures.

Today, we will explain canthoplasty and Vibe's exclusive technique,

'Mango Canthoplasty'.

What is Canthoplasty?

Canthoplasty surgeries

broadly include medial, lateral, upper, and lower canthoplasty.

Canthoplasty is a surgical method that extends the horizontal or vertical length of the eyes

to create a clearer and more refreshing eye shape,

improving your overall appearance.

Medial Canthoplasty (Epicanthoplasty)

When the distance between the eyes is wide or there is a Mongolian fold (epicanthal fold) at the inner corner,

this surgery improves it and extends

the horizontal length of the eyes.

Upper Canthoplasty

Upper canthoplasty is performed when the skin heavily covers the inner corner of the eye

or when the eyes look narrow and sharp.

It raises the inner corner of the eye, opening it up

at a 45-degree angle based on the starting point of the eye.

If the eyes are small, performing only medial canthoplasty

can sometimes result in a sharp-looking eye shape,

so it should be performed together with upper canthoplasty

to achieve much better results.

Lateral Canthoplasty

This surgery lowers an upward-slanting outer corner that can make you look fierce,

improving your appearance

into a softer impression.

Lower Canthoplasty (Lateral Hotz)

By pulling the outer corner vertically downward,

this surgery extends the vertical length of the eye,

improving a fierce impression into a bright eye shape

and a soft, gentle look.

It is an effective surgical method for this purpose.

In the case of canthoplasty, if you focus only on creating the line

without considering the condition of the eyes,

it can actually ruin the eye shape.

Therefore, a thorough diagnosis is required to select

the appropriate method according to the individual's eye condition.

What is Vibe's Exclusive 'Mango Canthoplasty'?

Vibe's exclusive Mango Canthoplasty

expands not only the length of the eye but also the vertical size,

and through customized angle adjustment, it improves a sharp eye shape

into a naturally round and soft eye shape.

Who Should Get Mango Canthoplasty?

✔ Those who want a refreshing, wide-open eye shape

✔ Those who want a gentle and kind eye shape

✔ Those who have a fierce impression due to their outer eye corners

✔ Those with short and stuffy-looking eyes

Why You Should Choose Mango Canthoplasty

If you only perform lateral canthoplasty alone

or just lateral + lower canthoplasty,

the bottom line inevitably becomes horizontal.

So, to create a prettier eye shape than the conventional lateral and lower canthoplasty,

after much deliberation, we created Vibe's exclusive canthoplasty technique,

'Mango Canthoplasty'.

Advantages of Mango Canthoplasty

✔ Completes a larger and more refreshing eye shape

✔ Performed non-incisionally, reducing the burden of scars

✔ Fast surgery and recovery

Frequently Asked Questions About Canthoplasty

01. Does lateral canthoplasty stick back together over time?

To prevent the eyes from reverting to their original state,

Vibe performs the surgery considering the eye shape and tissue condition,

and firmly corrects the periosteum so that even as time passes,

we provide a canthoplasty that does not stick back together.

02. Does canthoplasty leave a lot of scars?

Vibe Plastic Surgery

places sutures in inconspicuous areas

so that the surgery is unnoticeable.

Also, we use special suturing techniques to prevent adhesions,

so you do not need to worry about scars or adhesions.

03. Is it a side effect if the aegyo-sal (under-eye fat) rolls up after lower canthoplasty?

The hard part you can feel in the lower eyelid

is called the tarsal plate. Since lower canthoplasty is a surgery

that pulls down and fixes this tarsal plate

to the lower septum or periosteum,

the skin and tissue naturally bunch up in the aegyo-sal area.

Therefore, it is hard to call it a side effect,

and you can think of it as an unintended phenomenon

where the flesh bunches up as much as the lower canthoplasty is performed.

In the case of canthoplasty, even a 1mm difference can lead to

different results, so a highly precise surgery is required.

Therefore, we hope you choose a clinic like ours that establishes an ideal surgical plan

and performs surgical methods tailored to each individual

after careful research.
