Canthoplasty surgery procedure Canthoplasty surgery method

Canthoplasty is a very common minor surgery nowadays. It can make our eyes bigger, change the distance between the eyes, and has a good beauty effect. It is one of the most popular eye plastic surgery surgeries nowadays.

1. Preoperative design: Careful design before canthoplasty surgery is the key to the success of the operation. First, communicate with the patient to understand the patient's requirements for the operation, and then draw the line based on the doctor's experience.

2. Local anesthesia: After drawing the line, preoperative anesthesia is performed. Canthoplasty surgery uses local anesthesia. After anesthesia, the patient basically does not feel pain during the operation. There is only a slight pain during the incision and suturing, which is similar to the pain of an injection and is generally acceptable to most people.

3. Incision and adjustment: According to the preoperative design, cut the skin and conjunctiva of the outer canthus in full thickness with scissors along the horizontal direction of the outer canthus. Bluntly separate the conjunctival fornix from the conjunctival incision upward and downward to the nasal side. Pull the bulbar conjunctiva in the horizontal direction to the apex of the incised outer canthus, fix a needle, and make intermittent sutures between the upper and lower fornix conjunctiva and the incised skin. If necessary, cut off the outer canthal ligament in whole or in part. At the newly formed outer canthus, make a mattress suture through the conjunctiva, and take out the needle from the outer canthus skin surface and tie it on the gauze pillow to form the (temporal) lateral fornix. When suturing the conjunctiva and skin, if the conjunctival tension is too large, the bulbar conjunctiva can be cut vertically between the outer side of the cornea and the outer canthus to reduce the tension. Let the patient open his eyes to see the correction effect of the epicanthus. Repeatedly compare whether the eyes are symmetrical and the shape is appropriate, and make fine adjustments to achieve the most satisfactory effect. After the operation, apply antibiotic eye ointment in the conjunctival sac to prevent adhesion.

4. Suturing: Use imported non-connected fine needles and threads for suturing, because the needles and threads are relatively thin, the needles are sharp, and the skin is less damaged and less likely to leave scars. When suturing, use 5/0 silk thread to sew a stitch at the junction of the middle and inner 1/3 of the upper eyelid, that is, the widest part of the palpebral fissure. Insert the needle from the skin on the lower side of the incision, and then pass through the anterior tarsal aponeurosis 1 mm below the upper edge of the tarsus. Then, take the needle out from the upper skin edge of the incision. Tie a slipknot with the sutures and ask the patient to open his eyes to observe whether the width of the upper eyelid wrinkle is suitable and whether the skin on the lower side of the incision is bloated or has too much tension. After the above four main steps, the operation of canthoplasty is completed, and the whole process takes about 1 hour. Generally, the wound will be a little painful on the day after canthoplasty, and it will be more swollen on the second day. The swelling will gradually subside after about 3 days, and the stitches will be removed after 5-7 days. During this period and the recovery period thereafter, attention should be paid to postoperative care to ensure a more ideal surgical effect.

1. Horizontal canthoplasty: This method is very simple to operate and is also adopted by many doctors. The disadvantage is that it requires the removal of insufficient skin. The incision will be V-shaped, which is easy to operate, but the recurrence will be more serious.

2. Z-shaped canthoplasty: This method of operation is not always thorough enough, so it is more suitable for those with mild epicanthus.

3. V or L: This method is very simple to operate and is also adopted by many beginners. The disadvantage is that it requires the removal of the skin surface, which may cause recurrence or aggravate the incision scar.

4. Y or V; This method of operation has very good postoperative effects, but it also has certain disadvantages. It will remove part of the skin, so it may recur.

Canthoplasty postoperative care

1. Your physical condition; this is more important. For example, people with scars are not recommended to have this surgery. Because after doing it, it will leave ugly scars on the corners of the eyes. It is better not to do it. Of course, in this case, the doctor will ask you before the surgery. If you regret it after doing it, it will be too late.

2. The doctor's surgical skills. For such an operation, you must go to a regular hospital or a large beauty institution, which is more secure. Choosing an experienced and qualified doctor to perform the operation can avoid greater risks. It is also helpful for postoperative recovery.

3. If you want to recover quickly, you must also do a good job of postoperative care. After the operation, first of all, you should control your diet. Eat a light diet. Secondly, stay away from mobile phones, computers and other electronic products to avoid overusing your eyes. Do not press the corners of your eyes with your hands. Go to bed on time, do not do strenuous exercise, and choose a higher pillow when sleeping to avoid eye edema.

How much does it cost to open the eyes?

The cost ranges from 4,000 to 15,000 yuan. It is recommended to consult the hospital in detail and choose the appropriate surgical method according to your situation. It is recommended to carefully choose the hospital and doctor. Please confirm the hospital's qualifications before seeing a doctor. Usually, the propaganda of magical effects is false propaganda. It is best not to believe it. Only experienced doctors can develop a safe surgical plan for you before the operation. During the operation, you can try to avoid touching, which also reduces the risk of the operation.
