I have learned that there is currently a method called eyelid surgery combined with eye corner opening that is being chosen by many women. However, I still do not clearly understand what eyelid surgery combined with eye corner opening is, how it differs from conventional eyelid surgery, and whether this method truly helps make the eyes look bigger and more sparkling. Doctor, could you please clearly explain the effects of this technique for me?
Hello, many clients, after researching eye aesthetics, often hear the term “eyelid surgery combined with eye corner opening” but still do not clearly understand what this technique is and how it differs from conventional eyelid surgery. In fact, this is one of the advanced aesthetic methods that delivers high effectiveness in correcting small, narrow, or disproportionate eyes. The doctor will help you better understand this technique as well as when eyelid surgery and eye corner opening should be performed to achieve the most balanced and round-looking eyes.
What is the eyelid surgery combined with eye corner opening?
Eyelid surgery combined with eye corner opening is a combination of upper eyelid surgery (removing excess skin and fat in the upper eyelid area and creating a clear new eyelid crease) together with inner or outer eye corner opening (a minor intervention at the eye corners) to help the eyes appear longer, larger, and more proportionate.

From a medical perspective, eyelid surgery combined with eye corner opening is a form of delicate microsurgery that directly affects the eyelid skin and eye corners. The doctor uses the exclusive Plasma microsurgical scalpel at Gangwhoo Cosmetic Hospital – an advanced technology that creates ultra-fine incisions, minimizes invasiveness, and leaves almost no visible scarring.
Depending on each individual’s eye structure, the doctor may choose inner corner opening (expanding the epicanthal fold) or outer corner opening (lengthening the eye tail), or combine both to naturally adjust the eye shape in harmony with the facial features.
This technique is not merely about creating double eyelids but is also a comprehensive aesthetic eye reshaping surgery, helping improve eye size and shape according to Korean aesthetic standards.
What effects does eyelid surgery combined with eye corner opening have?
The method of eyelid surgery combined with eye corner opening provides numerous aesthetic and functional benefits, especially for those with small, narrow eyes or epicanthal folds covering part of the iris.
Some notable effects include:
Creating soft, safe eyelid creases with no swelling or pain
Widening and balancing the eyes: When the eye corners are expanded, the eyes appear larger, longer, and deeper, making the face more harmonious and youthful.
Creating clear, natural eyelid creases: The combination of eyelid surgery and eye corner opening results in soft, natural-looking eyelid lines without stiffness.
Improving uneven eyes and hidden eyelids: Many cases of asymmetrical eyes or unclear eyelid creases can be effectively corrected with this method.
Aesthetic correction for monolids and small eyes: This is a “two-in-one” solution that both defines the eyelid crease and expands the horizontal width of the eyes, creating a more captivating gaze.
No scarring, fast recovery: With the exclusive Plasma microsurgical endoscopic technology at Gangwhoo, the incisions are extremely small, minimally invasive, ensuring fast healing and naturally beautiful eyelid lines.
Thus, eyelid surgery combined with eye corner opening is not merely a cosmetic procedure but a comprehensive eye reshaping solution that safely and delicately improves the eye structure.
When should eyelid surgery and eye corner opening be performed?
Doctors usually recommend eyelid surgery combined with eye corner opening in the following cases:
Double eyelid creation completely transforms the gaze in just 45 minutes
Small, narrow eyes where the iris is covered by epicanthal folds.
Monolids, hidden eyelids, or uneven eyelids.
Narrow inner eye corners causing the eyes to look sharp or tired.
Desire for large, round eyes with clear eyelid creases in a Korean style.
Cases of previous eyelid surgery with unbalanced results requiring eye corner opening to improve proportions.
In particular, individuals with abnormally wide or narrow interocular distance can also benefit from inner or outer eye corner opening techniques to achieve more harmonious facial proportions.
However, to ensure safety, you should be examined and accurately evaluated by a specialized eye aesthetic doctor regarding the eyelids, skin, and levator muscle condition before deciding on surgery.
At Gangwhoo Cosmetic Hospital, the eyelid surgery combined with eye corner opening procedure is performed by a team of doctors specialized in eye reshaping, applying modern microsurgical endoscopic technology along with an exclusive Plasma scalpel. As a result, the incisions are extremely small, swelling and pain are minimized, recovery time is shortened, and natural, long-lasting results are ensured.
