Dr. Sung Jin-mo of Cheongdam First | Lower Outer Corner Downward Surgery

This exclusive eye-shaping program addresses issues such as upturned eyes, raised outer corners, short palpebral fissures, and a fierce gaze that appears intimidating. Designed one-on-one by Dr. Sung Jin-mo, an expert specializing in ophthalmic plastic surgery, the procedure precisely adjusts the position of the outer corner and the curvature of the lower eyelid. It gently elongates the outer eye to create innocent, soft deer-like eyes. This can be combined with double-eyelid surgery or inner corner correction for comprehensive reshaping.

Core Technical Advantages

1. Minimally invasive precision with minimal bleeding and swelling

   Utilizing tiny, concealed incisions at the outer corner of the eye, the technique precisely avoids blood vessels and tissues while limiting the dissection area. Low intraoperative bleeding ensures no severe bruising or edema post-surgery, significantly reducing daily discomfort.

2. Natural, moderate downward adjustment without exaggeration or ectropion

   Avoiding excessive downward movement that causes lower eyelid ectropion, excessive scleral show, or a tired, unnatural appearance, this approach adjusts the outer corner curvature based on facial proportions. The resulting lines are smooth and gentle, preserving a natural look so that others cannot detect any signs of surgery.

3. Concealed, scar-free suturing with no visible marks

   Incisions are hidden within the mucosa of the outer corner and the natural folds at the eye's end. Layered tension-reducing fine suturing ensures scars fade into the skin after healing, leaving no obvious marks whether the eyes are open or closed.

4. Limited trauma and short recovery period

   With extremely low soft tissue damage, swelling subsides quickly. Stitches can be removed shortly after surgery, and light makeup can easily conceal traces, allowing patients to resume daily work and social activities without interruption.

5. Long-term stability with minimal risk of retraction or deformation

   An exclusive fixation technique securely maintains the adjusted lower eyelid shape, reducing the risk of post-operative retraction. This ensures long-lasting maintenance of a refined, softly elongated eye shape with a gentle and lively expression.

Suitable Candidates

1. Individuals born with upturned eyes and raised outer corners, giving them an intimidating or unapproachable gaze.
2. Those with horizontally short palpebral fissures and narrow eyes, lacking a soft, harmonious facial aesthetic.
3. Patients with flat, straight lower eyelids seeking a monotonous eye shape transformed into innocent, drooping deer-like eyes.
4. Candidates wishing to combine this with comprehensive eye surgery to overall enlarge the eyes and optimize eye proportions.
5. Individuals concerned about severe post-operative swelling, prominent scarring, or a prolonged recovery period.

Dr. Sung Jin-mo's precise lower outer corner downward surgery features low trauma, mild swelling, and rapid recovery.
