I had double-eyelid surgery before, so this time I looked into lateral canthoplasty. Rather than an excessive lateral canthoplasty, I looked for one that would look natural and suit my eyes. I saw cases of Wonder Canthoplasty, which also lowers the outer corners, and chose [Clinic A]. Dr. Choi Min gently pulled the back of my eyes by hand and said that if I only widened them horizontally, the upward-slanting impression would remain as it is, so the direction needed to be lowered slightly to soften my impression.
The surgery itself was done quickly under local anesthesia, and it only stung briefly when the anesthetic was injected. Even on the day of surgery, there was no bruising or swelling, so I could go about daily life. Without being excessive, I immediately saw the effect of increased horizontal length from the lateral canthoplasty. I was very satisfied from the day of surgery, and had the stitches removed one week later. My eyes became naturally larger overall, like the eye shape I had imagined before surgery, so I feel I did well to have it done. It will look even more different after I put on makeup in a few days, right? I am looking forward to it.
