Mango Canthoplasty (Lateral + Lower Canthoplasty, Dual Canthoplasty)
A case study of a 20s female patient who achieved a softer, wider eye appearance through VIBE Plastic Surgery’s signature Mango Canthoplasty.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 20s
# Her eyes are not small, but the outer corners are slanted upwards, making them look narrow and cramped.
# She wants to improve her appearance as she feels she looks somewhat sharp or fierce.
* Consultation
# She visited the clinic because her eyes appeared narrow and stuffy due to the upward-slanting outer corners being closed off.
# In such cases, it can give off a slightly aggressive or fierce impression.
# We planned to open the eyes up refreshingly using VIBE Plastic Surgery’s signature canthoplasty, ‘Mango Canthoplasty’.
* Surgical Plan
# Mango Canthoplasty (Lateral + Lower Canthoplasty)
* Post-operative Progress
# Although some conjunctival congestion remains, swelling and bruising can recover to the point of being barely noticeable in just two weeks.
# The patient is very satisfied as her eyes look larger and her overall impression has become much softer now that the outer corners are opened up!
# VIBE’s unique Mango Canthoplasty significantly reduces the recurrence rate through secure fixation!!

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Mango Twim?
Mango Twim is Vibe Plastic Surgery's signature dual canthoplasty, combining lateral canthoplasty and epicanthoplasty. It helps to create larger, softer eyes by opening up the outer corners, especially for those with narrow, stuffy, or fierce-looking eyes due to upward-sloping and blocked outer corners.
How long is the recovery period after surgery?
Swelling and bruising typically subside to an unnoticeable extent after about 2 weeks. As seen in the 2-week progress in the main text, some conjunctival hyperemia may remain, but swelling and bruising will have reduced enough not to significantly interfere with daily life, revealing a natural and soft impression.
Is there a risk of the canthoplasty reattaching or recurring after surgery?
No, the recurrence rate has been significantly lowered. Vibe Plastic Surgery's Mango Twim uses a secure fixation method during surgery, which minimizes the phenomenon of the canthoplasty area reattaching or returning to its original state over time.
What are the possible side effects after surgery?
Complications such as bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry can occur. Slight conjunctival hyperemia may accompany the surgery, and the occurrence and recovery of these side effects can vary depending on individual constitution and condition, thus requiring an accurate diagnosis and caution from a plastic surgeon.
