Lateral canthoplasty is not simply about making the eyes appear longer.
In many cases, overextension or improper fixation can lead to unnatural results, instability, or visible structural imbalance.
This page presents real lateral canthoplasty cases performed at Ahnsungmin Plastic Surgery in Korea, focusing on controlled extension, anatomical support, and long-term stability rather than aggressive enlargement.
Each case is approached with careful consideration of the patient’s existing eye structure to avoid complications and achieve balanced, natural outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does lateral canthoplasty make the eyes permanently longer?
Not always. The outcome depends on proper fixation and anatomical support. Overcorrection can lead to relapse or unnatural results.
What are the risks of lateral canthoplasty?
Risks include instability, visible scarring, or an unnatural appearance if the procedure is overly aggressive or not structurally supported.
Can lateral canthoplasty be reversed?
Revision is possible in some cases, but it is often complex due to scarring and tissue changes. Conservative planning is essential from the start.
