QuestionNameAnswerDate
Canthoplasty
Will the canthoplasty close up again?
Dr. Dongil ChoiWe minimize the possibility of recurrence through precise design and suturing. However, post-operative care is important as it varies depending on individual recovery ability.

Non-Incisional Method
How long does recovery take?
Dr. Dongil ChoiThe non-incisional method has minimal swelling, allowing a return to daily life within 2-3 days. The natural line stabilizes at 2-4 weeks, and recovery to a level where others hardly notice is common.
Answered 2026.07.11
Dynamic Fixation Incisional Double Eyelid (Ptosis Correction)
Can the line loosen with the incisional method?
Dr. Dongil ChoiUnlike the non-incisional method, the risk of loosening is very low because the line is created by organizing the tissue itself. Our clinic additionally applies dynamic fixation suturing to secure longevity.

Under Eye Surgery
Are dark circles improved as well?
Dr. Dongil ChoiIf protruding under-eye fat creates a shadow that looks like dark circles, fat repositioning alone will greatly improve it. Pigmented dark circles may require separate care.

Middle-Aged Eye Surgery
Is daily life difficult during the recovery period?
Dr. Dongil ChoiMajor swelling subsides within a week, and going out is possible by wearing a mask or sunglasses. Natural results settle in at 3 to 6 months.

Men's Eye Surgery
I don't like my existing double fold, can I remove it?
Dr. Dongil ChoiIt is possible. With the double fold removal (lowering) technique, you can naturally refine cases where the natural line is too high or has become awkward.

Canthoplasty
How are epicanthoplasty scars managed?
Dr. Dongil ChoiGangnam Seoyeon uses the skin redraping method, and scars become almost invisible over time. If the lacrimal caruncle is excessively exposed, it can be improved with epicanthoplasty restoration.
Answered 2026.07.11
Non-Incisional Method
Does it leave a scar?
Dr. Dongil ChoiSince it is performed with micro-punctures without skin incision, it leaves almost no scarring.
Answered 2026.07.11
Dynamic Fixation Incisional Double Eyelid (Ptosis Correction)
Can it be combined with epicanthoplasty and lateral canthoplasty?
Dr. Dongil ChoiYes, it is possible. Performing canthoplasty together according to the line length and impression can result in clearer and more refreshing eyes.
Answered 2026.07.11
Under Eye Surgery
Will it recur?
Dr. Dongil ChoiGangnam Seoyeon minimizes the possibility of recurrence by performing orbital septum reinforcement together. However, natural changes due to aging may occur over time.
Answered 2026.07.11
Middle-Aged Eye Surgery
When is a subbrow lift also necessary?
Dr. Dongil ChoiIt is natural to perform it together when the distance between the eyes and eyebrows is wide and eyelid sagging is severe. Heavy eyelids can also be refined together.
Answered 2026.07.11
Men's Eye Surgery
Do men also need canthoplasty?
Dr. Dongil ChoiIf the horizontal length of the eyes is short or the epicanthal folds are strong, it can be performed conservatively in combination.
Answered 2026.07.11
Non-Incisional Method
Is asymmetric eye correction possible with the non-incisional method?
Dr. Dongil ChoiIf the difference in eyelid thickness and muscle strength is not significant, asymmetric eyes can be corrected by designing the knot positions differently on the left and right. If the difference is large, the incisional method is more advantageous.
Answered 2026.07.11
Dynamic Fixation Incisional Double Eyelid (Ptosis Correction)
I have ptosis; can it be resolved with the incisional method?
Dr. Dongil ChoiYes. During the incisional method, the levator aponeurosis can be precisely adjusted to correct ptosis as well. A sleepy-looking impression is clearly resolved.
Answered 2026.07.11
Non-Incisional Method
Can epicanthoplasty and lateral canthoplasty be performed together?
Dr. Dongil ChoiYes, it is possible. Performing non-incisional double eyelid surgery and canthoplasty together can refine the line length and overall impression at once.
