Combined Canthoplasty · Lateral + Lower

Combined canthoplasty in Busan, Korea — two techniques, one eye design.

Combined canthoplasty is a customized eye-enlargement procedure that combines lateral canthoplasty (outer corner) and lower canthoplasty to improve eye proportions while preserving a natural appearance — with individualized design based on each patient's anatomy rather than a single standardized technique.

What Is Combined Canthoplasty?

Not enlargement for its own sake — harmony.

The procedure adjusts multiple aspects of the eye simultaneously: outer eye corner position, lower eyelid contour, eye length and openness, and overall eye balance. By combining techniques, surgeons can create a more harmonious eye shape than with a single procedure alone when clinically appropriate. Rather than simply enlarging the eyes, the goal is to improve overall facial harmony.

Results

Balanced enlargement, angle by angle.

What the Procedure Adjusts

Multiple aspects, simultaneously.

Outer Eye Corner Position

The lateral canthus is adjusted to influence eye length.

Lower Eyelid Contour

The lower eyelid is adjusted as part of the overall shape.

Eye Length & Openness

Length and openness are treated together rather than separately.

Overall Eye Balance

The eyes are balanced against one another and the face.

Treatment Principles

What individualized planning considers.

Why it matters
Eye lengthDetermines how much elongation is appropriate
Eye widthAffects the openness of the eye shape
Outer corner angleGuides how the lateral canthus should be repositioned
Lower eyelid positionDetermines whether lower canthoplasty should be combined
Facial proportionsThe goal is improved facial harmony, not maximum enlargement

Combining techniques is appropriate only when clinically indicated. Whether a combined approach suits you depends on your individual anatomy rather than a preference for more procedures.

Potential Benefits

What the procedure aims to improve.

Larger, Brighter-Looking Eyes

Eye length and openness are improved together.

Improved Eye Proportions

Proportions are addressed rather than a single corner.

More Balanced Appearance

The eyes are planned in relation to overall facial balance.

Personalized Planning

Design follows your anatomy, not a standardized technique.

Natural-Looking Results

Subtle enlargement that preserves a natural appearance.

Who May Benefit?

Candidates are evaluated individually.

You may be suitable if you

  • Have short or narrow-looking eyes
  • Want a longer, more open eye shape
  • Have eyes that appear close together
  • Feel your eyes remain small after double eyelid surgery
  • Desire subtle, natural-looking eye enlargement

A consultation determines your plan

  • Combination is used only when clinically appropriate
  • Facial harmony limits how far the eyes should be enlarged
  • Recovery varies with anatomy and the extent of surgery
  • Previous eye surgery affects what can be achieved

A comprehensive eye and facial analysis is required before deciding whether a combined approach is appropriate.

About Your Surgeon

Dr. Son Hee-dong,
plastic surgeon.

Combining procedures is a decision, not a default.

I combine the outer corner and lower eyelid only when the proportions actually call for both — otherwise a single procedure is the better answer.

Frequently Asked

Combined Canthoplasty in Busan
— your questions, answered.

What is combined canthoplasty?
It is a customized eye-enlargement procedure that combines lateral canthoplasty (outer corner) and lower canthoplasty to improve eye proportions while preserving a natural appearance, with individualized design based on each patient's anatomy.
How is it different from lateral canthoplasty alone?
Combined canthoplasty adjusts multiple aspects simultaneously — outer eye corner position, lower eyelid contour, eye length and openness, and overall eye balance — which can create a more harmonious eye shape than a single procedure alone when clinically appropriate.
Can it be combined with double eyelid surgery?
Combined procedures are considered based on anatomy and goals. Notably, some patients seek canthoplasty because their eyes remain small after double eyelid surgery. Whether a combination is appropriate is determined after analysis.
How long is recovery?
Recovery varies depending on individual anatomy and the extent of surgery. Temporary swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort are expected during the early healing period, with personalized aftercare instructions provided.
Will scars be visible?
Canthoplasty involves incisions at the treated corners, so scars are expected. Their location and expected appearance depend on the techniques used and should be explained during consultation.
Who may benefit from combined canthoplasty?
It may suit patients with short or narrow-looking eyes, those wanting a longer more open eye shape, those whose eyes appear close together, those who feel their eyes remain small after double eyelid surgery, and those seeking subtle natural-looking enlargement.
What does the planning consider?
Individualized planning considers eye length, eye width, outer corner angle, lower eyelid position, and facial proportions.
Will my eyes just be made bigger?
No. Rather than simply enlarging the eyes, the stated goal is to improve overall facial harmony through subtle, natural-looking enlargement.
What keeps the result stable?
The procedure includes careful fixation for stability, followed by postoperative assessment and follow-up. Individual outcomes still vary with anatomy and healing.
