Lateral Canthoplasty Korea - How It Works
The surgeon makes a precise incision at the outer corner of the eye, extending the lateral canthus. The conjunctival mucosa is carefully sutured to the skin to prevent reattachment and maintain the widened result. Advanced techniques involve lower lateral canthoplasty to expose more of the lower sclera (white of the eye) for a "puppy eye" effect. Takes 30-45 minutes under local anesthesia.
Lateral Canthoplasty Korea Recovery & Aftercare
Swelling for 1-2 weeks. Stitches removed after 5-7 days. Redness at outer corners fades in 2-4 weeks. Avoid eye makeup for 2 weeks. Scar becomes invisible within 2-3 months. Final result visible at 1-3 months.

About Lateral Canthoplasty in Korea
Lateral canthoplasty (outer corner eye surgery) is a popular Korean eye procedure that extends the outer eye corners to create wider, more open eyes. Korean surgeons have developed advanced techniques that prevent the outer corner from reattaching during healing — a common issue with older methods. The procedure can create a natural almond-shaped eye or a trendy "cat eye" look. It is often combined with epicanthoplasty (inner corner) and double eyelid surgery for a comprehensive eye transformation. Korea performs more lateral canthoplasty procedures than any other country.
