We all admire celebrities' large, double-lidded eyes—not only beautiful but incredibly captivating. But what about those born with small, single-lidded eyes? Combining double eyelid surgery with canthoplasty can enlarge your eyes. So, how effective is this dual procedure? Below, our expert provides a detailed explanation.
Experts explain that double eyelid surgery alone cannot enlarge the eyes. Only by appropriately widening the inner and outer canthi can the eyes appear larger. Performing both procedures simultaneously allows for comprehensive planning of double eyelid width, overall eye size, and facial harmony, resulting in a more natural-looking outcome.Many individuals with monolids who undergo double eyelid surgery later find the results unnatural or unattractive, leading them to request canthoplasty. Since the double eyelid incisions must heal first, canthoplasty is typically postponed for 2-3 months. Therefore, performing both procedures simultaneously yields the most optimal outcome when such concerns arise.
