Overview
Canthoplasty is usually understood not simply as a way to make the eyes look bigger, but as a procedure that adjusts eye balance within a natural and anatomically appropriate range by evaluating the original eye shape, visible sclera, direction of the eye corners, and the condition of the surrounding skin and conjunctival tissue. In Korean plastic surgery clinics, it is often considered when the eyes look short, closed, or visually restricted, or when someone feels the eye proportions could look more balanced. However, it is not applied in the same way to everyone, because the structurally possible range differs from person to person. If the correction is pushed too far, the result can start to look unnatural or awkward, so individualized evaluation is especially important. The real goal is not to open as much as possible, but to create a more harmonious eye shape within the range that suits the face and anatomy.
