The Effects of VIBE’s ‘Forehead Lift & Mango Canthoplasty’!
Discover how a 30-year-old patient achieved a brighter, wider gaze using an endoscopic forehead lift and Mango canthoplasty to resolve a narrow brow-to-eye gap.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 30s
# Medical History: Non-incisional ptosis correction, incisional double eyelid surgery (revision)
# The narrow space between the eyebrows and eyes creates a heavy, stuffy look.
# The eyes appear too round vertically; the patient wants them to look longer horizontally.
* Consultation
# There is a sense of heaviness due to the narrow gap between the eyebrows and eyes. Since she had already undergone double eyelid surgery twice, she was reluctant to do it again. We planned to lift the eyebrows to widen that space.
# The forehead and eyes cannot be considered separately. Harmony between these two areas is essential to achieve an ideal eye shape!
# Additionally, to make the horizontal length of the eyes appear longer, we planned a lateral and lower canthoplasty (Mango Canthoplasty)!
* Surgical Plan
# Endoscopic Forehead Lift
# Mango Canthoplasty (Dual: Lateral + Lower Canthoplasty)
* Post-operative Progress
1. As the space between the eyebrows and eyes was secured, the previously hidden double eyelid lines were revealed, creating a clearer and more refreshed look.
2. VIBE Plastic Surgery’s signature dual canthoplasty (Mango Canthoplasty) successfully created eyes that look wider and more open!
Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!
VIBE comes from rich experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I consider a forehead lift?
A forehead lift can be considered when the space between the eyebrows and eyes is narrow, making you look stuffy, or when you are not satisfied with multiple double eyelid surgeries. It has the effect of lifting the eyebrows to widen the space between the eyes and eyebrows.
What are the effects of Mango Epicanthoplasty?
Mango Epicanthoplasty (Dual/Lateral Canthoplasty with Lowering) has the effect of making the horizontal length of the eyes appear longer. It helps to complete an overall longer eye shape by expanding round eyes horizontally.
Why consider forehead and eye surgery together?
The forehead and eyes cannot be considered separately. This is because an ideal eye shape can only be achieved when the two areas are in harmony. Forehead lift surgery can adjust eyebrow position and Mango Epicanthoplasty can improve the eye shape to achieve overall harmony.
How does the eye shape change after a forehead lift?
After a forehead lift, as the space between the eyebrows and eyes is secured, the hidden double eyelid line is revealed, resulting in a clearer and more refreshed eye shape. You can expect the stuffy impression to be improved.
What are the possible side effects after surgery?
Yes, complications and side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry can vary depending on the individual after surgery, and caution is required. It is important to consult sufficiently with a specialist before surgery.
