The dangers of canthoplasty

It is said that eyes are a person's windows, and if a person's eyes are big enough, the face can look coordinated, so many people with small eyes will make their eyes look bigger by opening their eyes. Canthoplasty is also a cosmetic surgery that is becoming increasingly popular in modern beauty hospitals. However, canthoplasty not only makes people's eyes bigger, but also has certain hazards. The following article will explain to you the hazards of canthoplasty.

The harm of canthoplasty: irritation of the bulbar conjunctiva

In order to prevent the outer canthus from retracting after it is widened, some doctors separate the outer conjunctiva and fix it on the outer skin by pulling it, or remove too much skin from the outer canthus. This not only causes excessive damage, but also causes conjunctival irritation symptoms because there is no skin protection on the outside.

The harm of canthoplasty: postoperative retraction

Due to the special structure of the outer canthus, edema, scar hyperplasia, contracture and adhesion are very likely to occur after canthus surgery, which will cause the outer canthus to retract after recovery from the surgery. The outer canthus may become rounder and the palpebral fissure may even become shorter laterally.

The harm of canthoplasty is strange appearance.

If the patient's eyes basically meet the three-part and five-eye physiognomy, then there is no need for canthoplasty surgery. If you insist on having your outer canthus opened, it will not only destroy the golden ratio of the three parts and five eyes, but also make the corner of the eye almost reach the temple when viewed from the side, which will look very unnatural. People who open their outer canthi too much will give people a weird feeling.

The harm of canthoplasty is that the scar is more serious

Canthoplasty may cause serious scarring because it will leave an incision like other surgeries, but it is not easy for doctors to hide this incision. Therefore, many people who seek beauty will have more obvious scars on the outside of their eyes after undergoing canthoplasty surgery. Even many people’s canthoplasty has retracted their eyelids, but because of the scars, it looks like they have not retracted. In fact, this is also a beautiful misunderstanding.

How to avoid the harm of canthoplasty

First, determine whether you have done canthoplasty

If you want to avoid the harm of canthoplasty, you should at least have some understanding of the people who are suitable for it. Canthoplasty surgery is suitable for a small population and is generally only suitable for patients with congenital microphthalmia. However, if a person with a normal-sized palpebral fissure undergoes canthoplasty, the outer canthus, which is the mucous membrane tissue, will grow quickly, resulting in almost no actual effect of enlarging the eyes.

Secondly, choose a regular professional doctor to perform the surgery

If you want to become more beautiful safely through canthoplasty surgery and perfectly avoid the harm of canthoplasty, then you should choose a regular hospital and a professional doctor to perform the surgery. Since canthoplasty surgery has high requirements on the doctor's technical skills and aesthetic ability, it is generally difficult to perform canthoplasty surgery well if the doctor is not experienced.

Note: Canthoplasty is a first-level surgery. The surgery itself is not too complicated, but it is a delicate surgery. It is best for those seeking beauty to find an associate chief physician or even a higher-level doctor to do the preoperative examination and perform the canthoplasty surgery.
