(excuse my English, it's not so great)
introduction: The Medial Canthus is one of the central features of the eye area. There are downturned and neutral tilted ones.
Example of a downturned medial canthus:
Example of a neutral medial canthus:
The strikingness of your eyes is heavily impacted by the shape and length of your medial canthus. This is why a lot of people resort to "Medial canthus cutting" a DIY surgery which has gotten prominent on TikTok.
Why is it retarded?:
The area around the Lacrimal Gland is highly sensitive, there are a lot of veins and nerves, including your central tear system, miss cutting could cost your vision through eye drainage, you could also hit one of the blue veins, which can cause you to actually pass away if you're stupid enough.
While cutting actually works, it's way too risky the results aren't permanent if you don't regularly repeat and it ends up in scars for the most people.
Now, I did this yesterday, and pulled it off semi successfully, here's the guide:
1. you need:
- Blade (razor or other knife)
- Betadine ( povidonum iodinatum)
- Plasters / surgical facial coverage (depends on your budget)
- Something sterile to clean up the eye after cutting ( sodium chloride 0.9%)
- gloves
- a mirror
- 70% + alcohol soloution (EXTREAMLY IMPORTANT)
2. Here's the cutting guide:
Important; take it slowly, take breaks if needed, don't do it while on substances, it does hurt, but not too bad.
My medial canthus was downturned before, I just did it for fun. I only did one of my eyes so I can show some results.
Here's the pictures:
1. Pre:
you can see, both contuses are the same,
2. Post:
Sorry for the horrible quality and the angle change, I didn't have a lot of time taking the pics. But you can clearly see one being longer than the other.
Now how do you do this?
Step 1. Put everything you need in front of a mirror.
Step 2. put your gloves on
Step 3. take your blades and disinfect with the alcohol
Step 4. clean them, with a sterile cleaning swab.
Step 5. Tape the areas with the veins up, so you can't cut into them
Step 6. put Betadine on your medial canthus, you're now set to cut.
Step 7-8, repeatedly cut down and in direction to your nose, don't exceed 2mm depth and 1mm of overall canthus cut. You have to do it like scratching, !!! don't mash your eye with a knife !!!!
Post op:, use the sodium chloride to clean up the wound, repeat during the 2 next days.
IMPORTANT: DAMAGE CONTROL
- If anything goes wrong, DO NOT CONTINUE OPERATING
- if you cut too deep and long and you start bleeding, call the ambulance for Gods sake, It's not a shame, they're here to help
- after the cut leave the plasters on.
- if your eye turns red and swollen go to the doc.
Hope this helps someone, don't do this it's too risky.
