Canthoplasty in Honolulu, Hawaii: Enhancing Eye Shape with Precision

Understanding Canthoplasty: Transforming Eye Aesthetics

Eye shape significantly impacts overall facial aesthetics. An almond-shaped eye, characterized by a slightly elevated outer corner and a lower eyelid position that conceals the eye's white, is considered attractive and youthful. This eye shape is particularly common among Asian, Eastern European, Middle Eastern, and mixed ethnic backgrounds.

With age, eye shapes can transform, becoming more rounded and horizontally shortened. Lateral canthoplasty offers a sophisticated solution to restore or create an almond-shaped eye, delivering an alert, youthful, and alluring appearance.
