ashly117 Posted January 27, 2018 Posted January 27, 2018 Wondering if any surgeons in Korea would be good at doing a procedure like this? Specificially I want to raise my lower eyelids to hide the whites under my eyes. I basically want squinty-er eyes. In general, what are the best clinics/docs for eyes? I've had this done in the states, but I think my right eye would benefit from raising a bit more. I was hoping if there are any good revision docs that can do this. PS: My eyes are non-asian. They are caucasian like.
perceval Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 Bumping this thread because I'm curious about this myself.
k-couture Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 Yeshh. its called Catepexy. Dont get it confused with lateral catho. This one is used often for anti aging along aside lower bleph with soof surgery
ashly117 Posted January 31, 2018 Author Posted January 31, 2018 ^That's a joke isn't it? A google search on "Catepexy" gets me nothing. I'm looking for real answers here. Not trying to be mean here.
perceval Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 I think she meant canthopexy? Correct me if I'm wrong here. I also tried looking it up and it gave me a medical condition. Thank you though K Couture!
kc_134 Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 Hi Ashly, in the states the plastic surgeons call that a lateral canthopexy. However in Korea I don't believe they offer that as widely as they do lateral canthoplasty. However, you can adjust the angle of the outer corner of your eye through lateral canthoplasty; usually Koreans adjust the angle lower because their outer angle is about 10 degrees higher than a normal or Caucasian eye but I'm sure if you go to a plastic surgeon specializing in oculoplasty they can adjust it higher to hide the scleral show. I have the same problem myself. I've been looking at clinics specializing in oculplasty or just eyes, and so far I've only found one: Teium. I don't know their reputation among locals and foreigners though.
csolare Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 I was going to recommend Teuim to you haha. There are a good number of locals who go there and popular among foreigners- or rather, They're just relatively well known online. Dr. Kwon, if anything else, is a very skilled surgeon with a lot of academic accomplishment under his name ^^
kc_134 Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 Also I forgot to mention Kim's Eye Hospital. They specialize in eye but more from a functional aspect. I saw on their website that they have an oculoplastic center with a couple dedicated doctors who specialize strictly in opthalmic and reconstructive surgery. If you choose to get in touch with them let me know how it goes!
hohohalmoni Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 There is no surgery that makes the white part show less. Wearing contact lens will be the only option
jamie82 Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 Actually there is and apart from aging related issues, this might be due to other medical conditions like graves disease or botched blepharoplasty / DES / ptosis corrections / brow lifts where the levator muscle function is affected. Can google "eyelid retraction" or "sceleral show".
caecaw Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 I've been looking for this procedure too in Korea, it's called "lower eyelid retraction". The only information I found regarding this procedure is that a hospital called "Kim's Eye Hospital" done this procedure for awhile as a research study, but don't know if they still perform it.
californian Posted June 25, 2019 Posted June 25, 2019 Bump.. sorry for reviving this old thread but i was wondering if anyone has any recommendations? there is a procedure called tarsorrhaphy/tarsal strip procedure to stitch a bit of the outer corners of the eyes that can help with retraction but im not sure which clinic in korea offers this. thank you so much Would it be okay to ask the surgeon to have the opposite of a lateral canthoplasty (since lateral canthoplasty is opening the outside of the eyes)? how would they react to new requests thanks
cythr Posted June 26, 2019 Posted June 26, 2019 By "Hide the whites under my eyes" do you mean the white part that shows beneath the iris on some peoples eyes? I think that most people would use circle lenses to fix this problem as it depends on the size iris and obviously it is impossible to change the size of your iris.
