Epicanthoplasty Removes a Heavy, Closed-In Look

When we meet someone or have a conversation, we greet them while looking into their eyes, make eye contact, and talk.

Perhaps that is why we want the eyes to be more beautiful than any other feature, and we seem to pay a little more attention to the beauty of this area.

That may also be why there are so many eye makeup products. If the shape of the eyes is out of balance with the face’s overall proportions, the balance of the face can naturally fall apart.

If there is a prominent epicanthal fold covering the front part of the eyes, the overall impression can inevitably look heavy.

In such cases, many people look into epicanthoplasty. It is also performed when the front part of the eyes is too pointed or blocked, and it is likewise done when the horizontal length of the eyes is short.

By appropriately removing the excessive epicanthal fold covering the front of the eyes and the inner canthal skin, this method reveals part of the eyes and tear gland area, creating a larger, clearer line.

In general, when epicanthoplasty is performed, there have been many cases where scarring occurs or the desired line is not achieved because the procedure focuses only on skin excision or only on repositioning.

However, at April 31 Plastic Surgery, the procedure is done with internal suturing so that scars are less visible, and tension is reduced through skin repositioning, which lowers the chance of secondary problems and helps create a refreshed, clear impression.

Above all, the procedure is designed so that naturalness remains first, with a line that suits me at an appropriate level, creating a look that is not obvious yet appears more open and refreshed.

These days, epicanthoplasty is widely performed, but depending on who performs it, the resulting appearance can differ greatly.

It is probably best to trust a doctor who has plenty of experience and a strong sense of design.

At April 31 Plastic Surgery, Dr. Oh Won-seok, a plastic surgeon dedicated to eye surgery, handles consultations from the very beginning.

For those who are worried about a heavy-looking eye shape, we provide a refreshed and clear line. Simply removing the epicanthal fold well can create a more open impression.

It may seem simple, but it is something that cannot be done without skill, and with Dr. Oh Won-seok, it is possible. At April 31 Plastic Surgery, you can create a more open eye shape. Please receive consultation guidance from Dr. Oh Won-seok!
