In the previous article, we talked about several things to know about opening the inner corner of the eye. After the article was published, many candidates wrote me privately to ask me what is an external eye angle? How does it differ from the inner corner of the eye? Then I will start another article to talk about those things about external eye angle. Who is the right candidate for outer corner surgery? Unlike opening the inner corner of the eye, which opens the inner canthus to reveal the covered structure, opening the outer corner of the eye changes the connection of the eye at the outer canthus to expand the horizontal diameter of the eye. Therefore, opening the outer corner of the eye is suitable for those who have small eyes or those whose eyes are too upturned and give a fierce impression. Alternatively, it can be combined with double eyelid surgery to improve minor ptosis. Because of the different eye conditions of each individual, the procedure chosen for canthoplasty is different. Usually, you can feel a lengthening of the eye diameter after the canthoplasty surgery, which can lead to an upturning of the eyelid and a decrease in the height of the eyelid, providing a certain cosmetic effect. Is opening the inner corner of the eye better than opening the outer corner of the eye? The main purpose of opening the inner corner of the eye is to solve the problem of “inner canthus”. With the development of medicine, more and more cosmetic surgeons are finding that just doing a good double eyelid does not give the best results and there are always flaws. This is because the canthus makes the eyes appear smaller and shorter, and the distance between the eyes becomes farther apart. For oriental people with a collapsed nose, it is very dull and has no sense of dimension. If the inner corner of the eye is opened at the same time, these problems will be solved successfully and the result will be “amazing”. For this reason, doctors recommend opening the inner corners of the eyes at the same time for candidates with canthus. Will scarring occur? The eyes are the “windows to the soul”, so when you consider making your eyes bigger and more beautiful, you are also worried about scarring. So, will an eye opening leave unsightly scars or not? In fact, any surgical operation will result in scarring, and eye opening is not immune to this. The skin around the eyes is very thin and incisional scarring can occur within 3 months after an eye opening. However, generally speaking, as the post-operative time increases and some medical measures are taken, the scar will become lighter and lighter; after 3-6 months the scar will slowly soften or even fade, or leave only a shallow grayish line. Part of the incision for open inner eye surgery can be hidden within the heavy lid line and at the edge of the eyelid; this part of the scar is very hidden and is usually not a cause for concern. However, some of the incision is exposed at the inner corner of the eye, and this scar is visible in the early postoperative period. The outer corner of the eye is very small and the scar left after surgery is usually rare. Generally speaking, the thinner the skin and the whiter and finer the skin tone in the normal population, the less likely it is that a visible scar will form. It is worth noting that to avoid scarring after surgery, you must make sure you are not a keloid before eye opening surgery and strictly follow the medical advice after surgery. DOCTOR.LU Tips: Can I make my eyes bigger and longer by opening the inner and outer corners of my eyes at the same time? How to make eyes bigger is the pursuit of many women who love beauty, in fact, for people with double eyelids, the main way to make eyes bigger is to open the eye angle. The opening of the eye angle includes opening the inner corner of the eye and opening the outer corner of the eye, how should I choose? Should I open the inner corner of my eyes or should I open the outer corner of my eyes? If the inner and outer corners of the eyes are opened together, will the eyes become bigger? It is important to understand the difference between the two. Opening the inner corner of the eye What is usually referred to as opening the inner corner of the eye is generally referred to as opening the inner corner of the eye surgery. In fact, opening the inner corner of the eye is not really opening the inner corner of the eye, but only opening the inner canthus in front of the inner corner of the eye to reveal the inner corner of the eye structure. It is mainly to reduce the distance between the eyes and improve facial appearance; to improve the shape of the starting point and the inner part of the eyelids and beautify the eyelids; to increase the horizontal span of the eyes (the length of the eyes) and make the eyes appear longer; with double eyelids can also make the eyes bigger, increase the vision and improve the perspective. After surgery, more than one patient even said, “I can see wider than before surgery”. Opening the outer corner of the eye Opening the outer corner of the eye is a completely different procedure, as it actually opens the outer corner of the eye, which is a special and important physiological structure. In principle, surgery to open the outer corner of the eye destroys the special structure of the outer corner of the eye and is very difficult to recover from, and is a real elongation of the eye to make it appear longer. However, the results after open outer corner surgery are mostly unsatisfactory. There are several reasons for this: ① The eye can be enlarged, but this part of the eye does not have the three-dimensional structure of the lid margin, there are no eyelashes, and it looks less natural. ②The effect of widening is not obvious due to the limitation of the orbital bone. ③The conjunctiva is thin and not easy to manipulate, and there is a possibility of retraction and adhesion. ④There is a possibility of conjunctival ectropion. Therefore, opening the inner and outer corners of the eyes at the same time does not necessarily achieve the best effect of making the eyes bigger and longer, and a decision needs to be made after full communication with a professional doctor according to each individual’s different situation.
