Lateral and Lower Canthoplasty Revision!
A case study of a female patient in her 20s who underwent a successful lateral and lower canthoplasty revision using VIBE Plastic Surgery’s signature ‘Mango Canthoplasty’.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 20s
# I had lateral and lower canthoplasty a year ago, but it feels like it has already closed up. There is no visible effect.
# The outer corners of my eyes look narrow and closed off, giving me a somewhat sharp and harsh impression. I want to improve this.
* Consultation
# Despite having undergone lateral and lower canthoplasty once before, the patient visited us because the outer corners of her eyes remained upward-slanting and closed off, resulting in a narrow and stifled appearance. This can often give off a slightly harsh impression.
# We planned to open up the eyes significantly using VIBE Plastic Surgery’s signature canthoplasty, the ‘Mango Canthoplasty’.
* Surgical Plan
# Mango Canthoplasty (Lateral + Lower Canthoplasty) Revision
* Post-operative Progress
# The patient is very satisfied as her eyes look larger and her overall impression has become much softer now that the outer corners are wide open!
# VIBE’s unique Mango Canthoplasty significantly reduces the recurrence rate through secure fixation!!
Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is revision canthoplasty necessary?
Yes, revision canthoplasty may be necessary if the outer corner of the eye closes up again after a previous surgery, or if the effect was minimal, making the eyes appear narrow and stuffy. It is considered to improve a fierce impression and achieve a refreshing eye shape.
What kind of surgery is Mango Canthoplasty?
Mango Canthoplasty is VIBE Plastic Surgery's signature canthoplasty, combining lateral canthoplasty and lower canthoplasty to widely open the outer corner of the eye. It helps make the eyes appear larger and improves the overall impression to a softer one.
What are the characteristics of Mango Canthoplasty revision surgery?
Mango Canthoplasty revision surgery focuses on significantly reducing the recurrence rate by using a secure fixation method. It provides a suitable solution for cases where the effect of previous lateral and lower canthoplasty was insufficient or the eye corner closed up again.
What changes can I expect after revision canthoplasty?
After the surgery, as the outer corner of the eye opens widely, the eyes may appear larger and the overall impression can be improved to a softer one. You can expect a transformation from a stuffy and fierce eye shape to a bright and refreshing one.
Who performs the surgery?
Yes, the surgery is performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon. At VIBE Plastic Surgery, the head surgeon, who has extensive experience, directly conducts consultations and surgeries to ensure safe and satisfactory results.
What are the possible side effects after surgery?
Yes, various complications and side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry may occur after surgery. These may vary depending on the individual, so it is important to be fully aware of the precautions through sufficient consultation before surgery.
