The eyes are considered the “windows to the soul” of every individual. They not only express deep emotions and thoughts but also serve as a prominent focal point creating beauty and charm for the face. However, Asians commonly have single eyelids, hidden creases, or small eyes, making the demand for big eye surgery quite popular.

What Is Big Eye Surgery?
The big eye surgery technique originated in South Korea. This method effectively transforms and corrects small eyes, making them sparkling, larger, and clearly defined. Accordingly, surgeons perform medial and lateral canthoplasty to expand the inner and outer eye corners, ensuring balanced and visibly enlarged eyes.

Thanks to advanced big eye aesthetic technology, cases of small, squinty eyes are effectively improved, bringing delightful results to patients.

Big eye surgery consists of 3 main techniques:
- Lateral canthoplasty (outer corner enlargement) by reshaping a portion of the skin at the outer eye corner to visually elongate the eye.

- Double eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) to reshape symmetrical eyelids on both sides by removing excess skin, fat, and precisely suturing with aesthetic threads.
- Medial canthoplasty (inner corner enlargement) to adjust the epicanthic fold and widen the eye aperture. Through a delicate incision at the inner corner, horizontal skin tension is released, maintaining proper intercanthal distance so the pupils (corneas) do not appear too close together and the eyes look radiant.
For overly small eyes, big eye surgery reduces excessive skin traction from the outside inward, resulting in much more natural-looking eyes.
