Canthoplasty
Which canthoplasty is right for me?
Dr. Dongil ChoiIt depends on your eye shape, facial proportions, and the degree of epicanthal folds. We recommend the appropriate type and amount after a precise diagnosis. At our clinic, lateral and lower canthoplasty are deemed suitable in only about 30% of cases.

Non-Incisional Method
I heard the non-incisional method always comes undone?
Dr. Dongil ChoiIncorrect indications and insufficient knot design are the biggest causes of unravelling. Our clinic precisely diagnoses whether the eyes are suitable for the non-incisional method from the beginning and proceeds with a secure knot design to maintain the line stably.
