Lowering eye slant procedure & “ㄷ” complication

Due to the lateral canthal ligament’s orbital bone, the eye slant is tightened and fixed. This being so, the word we normally use “eye slant lowering procedure”
is a procedure making an incision on the eye slant and tightening the below eyelid to the below orbital bone.
Therefore, the upper eyelid will be fixed to the original lateral canthal ligament.
This will occur below eyelid fixed newly below and the free space will meet between the mucous membrane and the skin.
Eventually, “ㄷ”midify will be shown as you see the picture.

Background of how
the “LOWER LID LOWERING” was found

Most of the adult’s eye shape has a shape of slanted eyes. Averagely, 10~13 degree incline is normal but sever slanted eyes can give sharp & staring impression.
Lot of people get eye slanted procedure to solve this problem but considerable number of people have “ㄷ” complication.
The “LOWER LID LOWERING” procedure method is how and why was founded. By not touching the anatomical structure,
it can be made gentle, smooth, and clear looking eyes.

Graceonyoung Plastic Surgery MOONSEOP, CHOI
first announced the LOWER LID LOWERING

In 2009, Dr. MOONSEOP CHOI first used the “LOWER LID LOWERING”
in Korea and realized Lateral EPICANTHOPLASTY and
the LOWER LID LOWERING should go together.
In 2010, the “DUAL EPICANTHOPLASTY” came out.
After this, there were a lot of academy speeches and in 2012;
the LOWER LID LOWERING was introduced to the Society
for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.

(DUAL EPICANTHOPLASTY)

Why DUAL EPICANTHOPLASTY

01

If you look at the lateral canthus, it has upper and lower eyelids attached.
Also, the lower eyelid has elasticity, so it is better to release the attached upper and lower eyelids open fully before it can be lowered.
It is better to maintain the lateral canthoplasty, By using lower eyelid lowering.

* Dual twim solve these issues together *

Lower eyelid lowering | We solve the attaching problems after lateral canthoplasty By using the lower eyelid lowering
Lateral canthoplasty | We make your upper and lower eyelids be released to prevent the Recurrence of lower eyelid lowering

Meaning of Lateral canthoplasty in aspect of Lower eyelid lowering

Cut out the lateral canthus and release the muscles, making the lower eyelid easier to fall and less of a recurrence.

02

The ratio of medial to lateral sclera is important for long, wide eyes.
Dual twim widen the lateral sclera in the outer and down direction.
The lateral corners of the eyes look cool and long, and they’re gentle and good looking.

Meaning Lower eyelid lowering of in aspect of Lateral canthoplasty

<In case of performed lateral canthoplasty only >

In case of performed lateral canthoplasty only,
the widening area will not grow and is therefore
more likely to be re-attached and changes will be less.

In case of performed Dual twim(Lateral canthoplasty + Lower eyelid lowering)

It has a large area of expanding lateral canthus
and pretty eyes with a 4:5 ratio

Graceonyoung plastic surgery’s thought of Lateral canthoplasty

There’s a lot of lateral canthoplasty method in use to make the lateral canthus longer,
but most of the time it doesn’t work very well.
Because the eyeballs are spherical, when lateral canthoplasty peroformed,
the lateral canthus do not move backwards along eyeball shapes.
In addition, the excessive widening on the lateral canthus is caused by the exposure of
the conjunctival and the deformation of the “ㄷ”.
There are many limitations to making lateral canthal area changes just by using lateral canthoplasty
Graceonyoung plastic surgery makes your eye together with lateral canthoplasty and lower eyelid lowering
to make it look cool and kind without a recurrence.

Ptosis & LOWER LID LOWERING

For those who have Ptosis and to get more improvement, Lower Lid Lowering should be processed at the same time.

<눈밑트임>만 시행한 경우 :
삼백안 악화 또는 변화가 매우 적음

<눈밑트임+눈매교정> 시행한 경우 :
삼백안 교정 및 효과가 큼
