What are the methods of eye opening?

Eye opening surgery is a blessing for many people with small eyes. Because of its obvious post-operative effect, many people will do eye opening together with double eyelid surgery. What are the methods of eye opening surgery? Open eye surgery generally includes two types of surgery: opening the inner corner of the eye and opening the outer corner of the eye. The inner and outer corners of the eyes are corrected and enlarged respectively, and the purpose of enlarging the eyes is achieved by removing the inner canthus and lengthening the length of the eye fissure. Opening the inner corner of the eye Method 1: Z-forming method The skin at the inner canthus is peeled off through surgical techniques to form two triangular flaps, and using the looseness of the skin tissue, the positions of the two triangular flaps are exchanged with each other so that the inner canthus point is displaced inward and the skin is sutured and fixed to achieve the effect of removing the inner canthus and opening up the inner canthus. This is suitable for those who have mild to moderate canthal redundancy, who have a wide canthal spacing, or for those who must open the canthus because it affects the formation of blepharoplasty in the reverse direction. Method 2: Speath method The Speath method of canthoplasty involves cutting the skin at the canthus to form four triangular flaps, and then using the skin tissue to loosen the triangular flaps, the two flaps are crossed and replaced so that the inner canthus point is displaced inward, and then sutured and fixed to achieve the effect of widening the canthus. It is suitable for those who have more serious canthus and need to remove the redundant skin and widen the angle of the eye. Method 3: Y-V method of opening the inner canthus Y-V method of opening the inner canthus is to use the skin at the corner of the eye to make a Y-shaped incision, then use a V-shaped flap to advance to the front of the Y-shaped flap, and then make a V-shaped suture to make the inner canthus point inwardly displaced, so as to achieve the effect of removing the inner canthus and opening the corner of the eye. Applicable people: For those who have short eye fissures and want to increase the length of the eye fissures. Opening the outer corner of the eye Opening the outer corner of the eye is an outer canthoplasty to make the eye bigger. It can make your eyes bigger, more open, slender and charming, and add life and vitality to your eyes, as well as correcting long distance between the inner corners of the eyes and canthal recession. It is suitable for those who have severe canthus or other deformities in the neighboring areas, or those who have short eyes.
