Canthopexy Eye Lift in Seoul, Korea:

シンサL美容外科

Quick Overview

  • What it is: A supporting lift of the outer eye corner (lateral canthus) using internal sutures—no cutting of the canthal tendon
  • Best for: Mild outer-corner droop, early lower-lid laxity, subtle uplift/almond shaping, prevention of scleral show (whites under iris)
  • よく併用される施術:下眼瞼形成術(目の下のたるみ除去/脂肪の位置調整)、キツネ目/アーモンド目整形、目尻の丸み修正
  • 麻酔:局所麻酔(鎮静剤併用)(ケースバイケース)
  • Surgery time: ~30–60 minutes (per side; longer with combined procedures)
  • Downtime: Stitches out ~5–7 days; social downtime ~7–10 days
  • Longevity: Typically long-lasting with proper lid support and aftercare

Why Choose Sinsa L for Canthopexy

  • 眼窩周囲に焦点を当てる: 引っ張られたようには見えず、自然に見える結果を得るために、まぶた、しわ、眉に合わせて角のサポートを計画します。
  • Measurement-led design: We assess canthal tilt, snap-back/distraction tests, lid tone, scleral show, and horizontal length before recommending lift or support.
  • Structure-preserving: Preference for canthopexy when you need lift/support without cutting the canthus; canthoplasty reserved for shape change that truly requires it.
  • International-friendly: English guidance, remote photo consults, transparent quotes, and travel-aware scheduling near Sinsa Station (Exit 3).

良い候補者は誰ですか?

  • Outer corners look tired or slightly down-turned
  • You have mild lower-lid laxity or early scleral show, especially after weight loss or aging
  • Planning lower blepharoplasty and want to protect lid position/shape
  • Desire a subtle almond uplift rather than a dramatic “fox eye” rotation
  • 以前の手術で角が丸くなってしまったため、修正サポートが必要

目尻固定術と目頭形成術(違いを知ろう)

  • 目尻固定術:外目尻を持ち上げ、安定させるための内縫合。形状変化が最小限で、リスクが低く、回復が早い。
  • Canthoplasty: Controlled reshaping of the canthus with small incisions; used when real angle/length change is needed. We only choose it when anatomy indicates.

Techniques We Offer

  • Standard Lateral Canthopexy
    Reinforces the corner by anchoring it to firm tissues, restoring
    tilt and improving lid support—ideal with transconjunctival lower bleph.
  • Canthopexy + Lower Blepharoplasty
    Protects against rounding/retraction after
    fat repositioning or skin handling; smooths the lid–cheek junction.
  • Canthopexy for Revision
    Corrects mild corner droop or rounding after previous eye surgery; may pair with
    lateral tarsal strip if laxity is higher.
  • Selective Canthoplasty (when indicated)
    For true corner
    reshaping/extension; meticulously supported to avoid over-rotation or scleral show.

Your Treatment Journey

  1. 相談と設計 – 写真、測定(傾き、まぶたの調子、スナップバック)、目標/制限、およびコンボ手順に関する話し合い。
  2. 計画と同意 – 目尻固定術と目頭形成術、下眼瞼/脂肪再配置との組み合わせの有無、スケジュール、見積もり。
  3. 手術当日 – 精密なサポート/アンカー(±下眼瞼手術); ほとんどの場合、当日退院。
  4. アフターケアとチェック – 冷却、頭部挙上、抜糸(約 5~7 日後)、対称性と改善のためのフォローアップ。

Recovery Timeline (Typical)

  • Days 1–3: Swelling/tightness; mild bruising; cool compresses as directed
  • Days 4–7: Stitches out; ointment/scar care continues
  • 2週目: 打撲のほとんどが治まり、社交的にも快適になる
  • Weeks 3–6: Residual swelling subsides; corner angle refines
  • 3~6ヶ月目:瘢痕の成熟(通常は小さく隠れる)と安定した形状

アフターケアのヒント

  • Sleep with head elevated for 1–2 weeks
  • Avoid rubbing eyes; gentle cleansing only
  • 約2週間は激しい運動、サウナ、アルコールを控える
  • Sun protection and directed scar care
  • Contact us promptly for increasing redness, pain, or sudden shape change

リスクと考慮事項

Swelling/bruising, transient tightness, visible scarring (usually minimal/hidden), asymmetry, persistent scleral show if pre-existing laxity is severe, over/under-correction, and rare need for revision. Proper candidate selection and adequate support reduce these risks.

Pricing (Guide)

  • Lateral Canthopexy: ₩0.8M–₩1.5M
  • 下眼瞼形成術(追加オプション)の場合: ₩0.6M~₩1.0M(範囲によって異なります)
  • 修正/複合サポート:120万~200万ウォン 正確な料金は、解剖学的構造と、追加の手順(脂肪の再配置/皮膚の処理など)が必要かどうかによって異なります。

Frequently Asked Questions

Will it look “cat-eye”?
Canthopexy provides a
subtle almond uplift, not an exaggerated angle. If you want dramatic rotation, that requires canthoplasty—used cautiously.

傷跡は目立ちますか?切開は小さく、目立たないため、多くの場合、目尻切開は下眼瞼切開と同じ方法で行われます。

Do I need canthopexy with eye-bag surgery?
Often recommended—supporting the corner helps
maintain shape after fat repositioning or skin work.

Can it fix corner rounding from past surgery?
Mild rounding often improves with
canthopexy ± tarsal strip. We’ll assess laxity and advise the safest plan.

How long should overseas patients stay?
Most plan
7–10 days for stitch removal and early checks.
