What Is Lower Canthoplasty?

Lower Canthoplasty is a surgical procedure that modifies the lower outer corner of the eye by adjusting the position and angle of the lower eyelid line. The procedure is designed to create a smoother downward extension of the eye shape and improve overall eye proportions. The technique is carefully planned based on the patient's natural eye direction, eyelid structure, and desired aesthetic outcome.

Refining the Lower Eye Contour for Softer and More Balanced Eyes at T&T Plastic Surgery Seomyeon

At T&T Plastic Surgery Seomyeon, each lower canthoplasty procedure is customized according to eye angle, eyelid structure, facial proportions, and individual aesthetic goals.

The amount of adjustment is customized to avoid excessive exposure of the lower eye area or an unnatural appearance.

  2. Improving lower eyelid contour
  3. Creating a softer eye direction
