What is Eye Corner Surgery?

Eye corner surgery is a minor procedure that enhances the balanced beauty of the “windows to your soul” by smoothing the skin around the inner corners of the eyes, reducing wrinkles, and widening the eye horizontally to create larger, more captivating eyes.

During the procedure, the surgeon makes a small incision at the inner corner of the eye to remove excess skin and muscle, reshape the area, and enlarge the eye corner. The incision is then carefully closed with cosmetic sutures.

Eye corner surgery: What is it?

Should You Consider Eye Corner Surgery?

This is a common question many clients ask when deciding whether to undergo eye corner surgery. The answer depends on each individual’s needs and the condition of their eyelids. Having large, symmetrical eyes can undoubtedly enhance your beauty and confidence. Therefore, if you are experiencing any of the following:

  • Hidden eyelid creases
  • Slanted eyes
  • Too much or too little space between the eyes
  • Small eyes

This procedure helps to open up slanted eye corners, creating larger, more defined eyes with clear creases and tighter eyelid skin.

What are the Benefits of Eye Corner Surgery?

Although it’s a simple minor procedure, eye corner surgery offers several benefits for clients, such as:

  • Enhanced aesthetics: Expanding the eye corners significantly enhances the overall facial appearance, creating a noticeable improvement. It helps make the eyes appear larger, brighter, and adds depth to the gaze.
  • Affordable cost: On the current market, the cost of eye surgery is relatively affordable and the procedure is quick. In just 40-60 minutes, clients can enjoy their refreshed look.
  • Safe and effective: This procedure not only provides clients with captivating eyes but also doesn’t alter or affect the natural eye structure. The process only involves the skin and is completely non-invasive, ensuring clients can confidently choose this cosmetic option.

Distinguishing Between Outer and Inner Eye Corner Surgery

What is Outer Eye Corner Surgery?

Outer eye corner surgery is a procedure that helps widen the outer corners of the eyes, addressing the issue of closely set eyes.

    Over time, the area around the outer eyes can develop crow’s feet and wrinkles due to aging, which can make the face appear less youthful and vibrant. To effectively combat this, outer eye corner surgery can provide a comprehensive solution.

    During the procedure, surgeons make a fine incision at the outer corner of the eye and adjust the shape for balance, securing it with cosmetic sutures. This technique eliminates wrinkles and crow’s feet, giving the eyes a deeper and more defined appearance.

    What is Inner Eye Corner Surgery?

    Inner eye corner surgery involves adjusting the inner corners of the eyes. This technique is designed to reshape and resize the eyes, making them appear rounder and more open.

      Experts define the inner eye corner as the area near the bridge of the nose. If crow’s feet develop in this area, they can narrow the length of the eyes and increase the distance between them.

      During the procedure, surgeons make a small incision at the inner eyelid, removing excess skin, fat, and wrinkles. After this, they reshape and adjust the eye position using cosmetic sutures to secure the results.

      Should You Choose Outer or Inner Eye Corner Surgery?

      Currently, both outer and inner eye corner surgeries are popular among many clients. However, it’s essential to determine whether to opt for outer or inner eye surgery based on your needs and the condition of your eyes.

      Clients should consider outer eye corner surgery if they have noticeable wrinkles or crow’s feet at the outer corners of their eyes, or if their eye tails appear short and slightly droopy.

      On the other hand, inner eye corner surgery is recommended for clients with narrow or small eyes, or those with a wide gap between their eyes.

      How to Care for Your Skin After Eye Corner Surgery

      While eye corner surgery is relatively straightforward, proper care of the surgical area is essential for a quick recovery. Keep these tips in mind to help speed up the healing process:

      • Avoid letting water come into contact with the open wound for 3 to 5 days.
      • Follow your doctor’s instructions closely and do not remove any stitches without their permission.
      • Protect the wound from dust and direct sunlight.
      • Adjust your daily routine to allow for more rest for your eyes by minimizing screen time and going to bed early.
      • Steer clear of foods that may cause scarring or discoloration, such as water spinach, chicken, and beef.

      Does Eye Corner Surgery Leave Scars?

      This is a common concern among clients who worry about the possibility of scarring after eye corner surgery. Aesthetic experts assure that the likelihood of developing scars post-surgery is very low. However, if scarring does occur, it may be due to one of the following three factors:

      • Skin Type: Clients with a tendency to form keloids should carefully consider the decision to undergo eye surgery.
      • Surgeon’s Skill: The success of the eye corner surgery largely depends on the meticulous and skilled techniques of the surgeon, accounting for about 90% of the outcome.
      • Post-Operative Care: This is a critical factor after the surgery. Failing to follow the surgeon’s guidelines and not adhering to the care procedures can delay healing and prolong recovery time for the eye area compared to other parts of the body.
