Small, narrow eyes often make the face look tired and lacking the necessary vibrancy. Modern Canthoplasty (inner/outer) techniques will help you improve your appearance quickly and safely. This is the suitable solution for achieving larger, more balanced, and harmonious eyes after the procedure.
What is Canthoplasty?
Canthoplasty is a modern cosmetic surgery method aimed at thoroughly improving conditions of small, short, or asymmetrical eyes. Currently, Canthoplasty is divided into two main techniques depending on the client’s specific condition:
- Inner Canthoplasty (Medial Canthoplasty): This technique is indicated for cases with epicanthal folds (excess skin covering the inner corner) or “webbed” folds. Epicanthal folds are classified into 4 levels, from mild to severe.
- Outer Canthoplasty (Lateral Canthoplasty): Usually indicated for eyes with a narrow or short distance between the inner and outer corners, which limits the horizontal dimension of the eyes. Especially in cases where the outer corner is upturned, creating a fierce appearance, the doctor will perform an expansion technique combined with lowering the outer corner.

Canthoplasty is a delicate aesthetic technique that refines the shape and size of the eyes. To achieve optimal results, this method is typically indicated for the following groups:
- People with narrow eyes and epicanthal folds covering the inner corner (level 2 or higher).
- People with an imbalanced, wide distance between the two eyes.
- People with short outer corners or upturned outer corners.
- People with asymmetrical eyes (one larger than the other).
- People who want to combine this with double eyelid creation (non-incision/incision) to optimize eye size and roundness.
- People who have already had double eyelid surgery but still have small eyes.

FAQ – Questions about Canthoplasty
Does Canthoplasty affect vision or tear ducts?
The technique only affects the skin and external soft tissues, not invading the eyeball or affecting internal structures or tear duct function.
Is it painful, and how long does it take to heal?
The process is painless thanks to modern multi-point anesthesia. The wound will stabilize and stitches are removed after 7 days, achieving a completely natural look after about 1 month.
Does it leave scars?
With the technique of hiding the incision line close to natural folds and using ultra-fine 0.7 nylon thread, the incision will fade and be almost invisible after recovery.
What is the cost?
Costs depend on the condition and the technique chosen (inner corner, outer corner, or both).
Can it be combined with double eyelid surgery?
Yes. This combo optimizes the roundness and width of the eye while creating sharper eyelid creases.
