In modern aesthetic trends, the teardrop-shaped inner corner eye surgery technique is becoming the “golden key” to completely correct small eyes, slanted eyes, or epicanthal folds that obstruct vision. Let’s explore this trending eye shaping technology in detail with Dr Xuan Quan Clinic – an expert with nearly 10 years of experience and training in Korea and Singapore – in the article below.
What is teardrop-shaped canthoplasty?
Teardrop-shaped eyes are an advanced cosmetic eye technique that significantly increases eye size while creating depth and a natural sparkle. Unlike traditional methods, this technique focuses on shaping the inner corners of the eyes with a gentle, soft droop, resembling a falling teardrop.

These are the ideal candidates for teardrop-shaped eyes
This technique is the perfect solution for those who want to improve eye imperfections, specifically:
- People with narrow eye corners and large epicanthal folds: This condition makes the eyes look small, tired, and the distance between the eyes is too far apart.
- Slanted eyes or eyes that are too short: Those who want to adjust the eye direction to be gentler, creating a horizontal opening to make the face look more delicate.
- Eyes that tend to look sad and lifeless: People who need to create a “teardrop” accent to make their eyes look big, round, and sparkling like a doll.
- People who have had eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty but still have small eyes: Cases where they want to combine it with eye corner widening to optimize the area and make the eyes truly shine.

The outstanding advantages of the teardrop-shaped canthal opening technique
- Creating large, captivating eyes: Completely removing excess skin widens the eye area both horizontally and vertically, creating a distinct doll-like eye effect.
- Creating natural depth: The soft curve at the inner corner of the eye gives a fresh, soulful look that easily attracts attention from the first glance.
- Harmonizing facial features: The doctor adjusts the distance between the two eyes to the ideal ratio, making the overall face more balanced and elegant.
- Safe and minimally scarring: Modern microsurgical techniques hide the sutures close to the eyelid margin, minimizing invasiveness and shortening recovery time.

Mistakes to avoid when undergoing teardrop-shaped canthal surgery
Creating teardrop-shaped eyes is a highly delicate technique. However, due to following trends or a lack of research, many women have made serious mistakes, leading to unsatisfactory aesthetic results, or even complications:
Choosing unlicensed, unprofessional cosmetic clinics: This is the most common and dangerous mistake. Performing the procedure at unlicensed spas or by non-doctors can easily lead to infection, over-cutting of the eye corners causing a wide-eyed look, or exposed red mucous membranes, which are very unsightly.

Excessive and unbalanced widening of the eye corners: Many people mistakenly believe that the wider the eye corners, the bigger and more beautiful the eyes. In reality, excessive intervention causes the distance between the two eyes to be too close, making the face look harsh and losing the natural harmony of the facial features.
Neglecting post-operative care and restrictions: The eye corners are a sensitive area of skin and easily scar if not properly cleaned. Mistakes in diet (eating water spinach, beef, seafood, etc.) or exposing the wound to dirt too soon can cause keloid scars or white scars that are difficult to correct.

Following trends while ignoring individual characteristics: Each eye shape has its own unique anatomical structure. Imposing someone else’s “teardrop” shape onto your own face without professional consultation from a doctor will make your eyes look very “artificial” and stiff.

Frequently asked questions about teardrop-shaped canthoplasty
To help women feel completely at ease before deciding to enhance their “windows to the soul,” Dr. Xuan Quan has compiled and answered the most common questions about the teardrop-shaped canthoplasty technique:
Does teardrop-shaped canthoplasty leave scars? No. With skillful microsurgical techniques, the ultra-thin incision will be hidden under the natural crease of the eye, leaving absolutely no visible surgical scars after healing.
Are there any risks associated with this technique? It is completely safe and does not affect vision because it only affects the outer skin. Risks such as displacement or exposed mucous membrane only occur at unlicensed facilities; at Dr. Xuan Quan, the standard medical procedure completely eliminates these risks.
Is teardrop-shaped canthoplasty painful? No, it is not painful. Advanced anesthesia technology ensures the entire process is gentle and comfortable; the eyes only feel slightly tight for the first 1-2 days after surgery.
How long does it take for the canthoplasty to look natural? You will return to the clinic to have the stitches removed after 7 days. After 2-4 weeks, the swelling around the eyes will completely subside, and the teardrop-shaped inner corners of the eyes will take on their softest, most radiant form.
What dietary restrictions are necessary for faster healing? Avoid water spinach, beef, seafood, and sticky rice for one month to prevent keloid scarring. Also, keep the wound dry, clean, and avoid strong impacts in the first few days.
