Upper Epicanthoplasty + Lateral canthoplasty + Lower Canthoplasty

Open Eye is Wonjin Plastic Surgery's canthoplasty procedure that selectively performs upper epicanthoplasty and Lateral canthoplasty (Lower Canthoplasty) according to the condition of the eyes to widen constricted-looking eyes. Rather than a simple skin incision, it adjusts the Glabella distance through muscle and ligament adjustment and double fixation, reduces re-adhesion, and places scars on the inner side of the eye.

Bright and open, without a constricted appearance: Open Eye canthoplasty It creates clear, open-looking eyes while preserving a natural appearance. Upper epicanthoplasty can adjust the distance and shape between the eyes like Epicanthoplasty, while Lateral canthoplasty combined with Lower Canthoplasty lowers the outer corners to create a softer, more open eye shape.

Recommended for

· Those with epicanthal folds that make their eyes look constricted · Those with wide-set eyes · Those with pointed inner eye corners · Those whose eyes appear constricted due to short horizontal eye width · Those for whom Epicanthoplasty is difficult because their eyes are close together · Those whose upturned outer eye corners create a sharp appearance

Features of Wonjin Open Eye

This procedure creates clear, open-looking eyes while preserving a natural appearance and was introduced in a 2014 Severance Hospital live surgery lecture.

Point 1. Scars are barely visible

With minimal incisions and suturing on the inner side of the eye, scars are barely visible.

Point 2. Less swelling and fewer side effects

There is less scarring and swelling, with fewer side effects such as scleral show and conjunctival edema.

Point 3. Double fixation prevents re-adhesion

Double fixation results in almost no re-adhesion after surgery.

Point 4. Glabella distance adjustment

The Glabella distance can be adjusted as desired through muscle and ligament adjustment rather than a simple skin incision.

Open Eye Upper Epicanthoplasty

It addresses the underlying cause of epicanthal folds by adjusting the muscles and ligaments. The spacing can be adjusted as desired, and swelling, bruising, and scarring are reduced compared with conventional procedures, while maintaining a natural crescent-shaped eye contour. When performing Epicanthoplasty, upper epicanthoplasty is also secured to create a natural, open appearance extending to the inner eye line.

STEP 1. Assess eye structure

The eye structure and muscles are accurately assessed before surgery.

STEP 2. Expand the canthoplasty area

The obstructed area is expanded by addressing the cause of the epicanthal fold.

STEP 3. Improve eye shape

After assessing the shape of the hidden lacrimal caruncle, it is refined into an aesthetically pleasing shape.

STEP 4. Adjust Glabella distance

The Glabella distance is adjusted as desired through muscle and ligament adjustment rather than a simple skin incision.

Open Eye Lateral canthoplasty

This procedure widens the horizontal eye width through an incision at the outer corner of the eye, creating a more open-looking eye shape. Upturned outer eye corners are lowered by changing the angle of the lower eyelid, creating clear, open-looking eyes. When the outer eye corners are upturned, combining it with Lower Canthoplasty provides a greater effect and can create bright, larger-looking eyes.

STEP 1. Assess eye structure

Before surgery, the structure of the eye, periosteum, and position of the orbit are assessed.

STEP 2. Expand the canthoplasty area

The outer eye corner is expanded through a fine incision.

STEP 3. Double fixation

Double fixation to the periosteum results in almost no re-adhesion after surgery.

STEP 4. Conceal scar inside the eye

The procedure positions the scar toward the conjunctiva so that it is not visible.
