Before undergoing canthoplasty (eye corner surgery), patients need to undergo a comprehensive eye examination to ensure they are in good health and free from severe internal diseases. The doctor will have a detailed communication with the patient to understand their expectations and needs, and formulate a personalized surgical plan. Patients need to arrange an appropriate surgical time, usually avoiding the menstrual period and cold/flu period.

Canthoplasty is usually performed under local anesthesia or topical anesthesia to ensure the patient feels no pain during the operation. The surgical process includes making an incision in the eyelid skin, removing excess fat and loose muscles, and performing delicate sutures to maintain the shape and function of the eyelid. The duration of the surgery varies by individual, typically taking several hours. During the operation, the doctor will follow aesthetic principles and technical standards to ensure the surgical result is coordinated with the facial contour.

After the surgery, patients need to follow the doctor’s advice, take anti-inflammatory drugs on time, and avoid strenuous exercise and direct sunlight. Patients must keep the wound clean to prevent infection. In the first few days after surgery, patients may experience swelling and pain, which are normal phenomena and can be relieved by applying ice packs and taking painkillers. Over time, the swelling and pain will gradually subside.

Canthoplasty has many advantages. Firstly, it can significantly improve the appearance of the eyes, making them look larger and more expressive, thereby enhancing self-confidence and personal charm. For those who feel unconfident due to insufficient eye contour, canthoplasty is an important option. Secondly, it can improve issues such as ptosis (drooping eyelids) and eye bags, making the eyes healthier and more natural. Additionally, canthoplasty helps boost self-confidence, as having bright and confident-looking eyes makes a person appear more assured and composed. Finally, the results of canthoplasty (note: the original text mistakenly mentioned “double eyelid surgery” here, which is corrected to align with the theme of canthoplasty) can be long-lasting, as doctors usually adopt minimally invasive techniques to reduce trauma and risks during the operation.

Although canthoplasty is a common eye plastic surgery, it is not a panacea. Before deciding to undergo the surgery, we need to fully understand the risks and possible complications, and communicate thoroughly with the doctor. We also need to recognize that beauty is not just about appearance; it also includes internal qualities, abilities, and achievements. Therefore, we should remain rational and cautious in the pursuit of beauty, and focus on a healthy and balanced lifestyle.

Canthoplasty is a safe and effective type of eye plastic surgery that can help us reshape our appearance and show a confident smile. Before choosing to undergo the surgery, we need to make adequate preparations and follow proper postoperative care, and select a formal medical institution and an experienced professional doctor to perform the operation. Let us embrace beauty and confident smiles together!
