Hello, this is AINIQUE Plastic Surgery.

A person's outward appearance has its own individuality and characteristics.

People may be similar, but there is nothing that is exactly the same, which can be said to be the mystery of the human body.

The eyes we have are the same in that things like the color of the iris, the shape of the eyes, and the skin around the eyes are all different from person to person.

You may like the eyes you have now, or there may be something a little disappointing about them.

Today, for those who are concerned about epicanthoplasty and eye shape correction because their eyes look cramped, or who are learning about eye shape correction, we will look at the types of epicanthoplasty and the surgical method for each type with AINIQUE Plastic Surgery, Gangnam epicanthoplasty and eye shape correction.

Gangnam epicanthoplasty and eye shape correction! What is epicanthoplasty?

Epicanthoplasty is a procedure that tidies the epicanthal fold at the inner corner of the eye to create a more open-looking eye shape. However, after surgery, many people decide to undergo revision surgery because of reasons such as overcorrection, which leaves too much of the lacrimal caruncle exposed, or undercorrection, which still makes the eyes look cramped, so it is important to choose a clinic that can get it right the first time.

At AINIQUE, a specialized clinic for Gangnam epicanthoplasty and eye shape correction, there is AINIQUE's own mini epicanthoplasty, which reduces the risk of side effects. This mini epicanthoplasty is AINIQUE's signature procedure, developed to compensate for the shortcomings of standard epicanthoplasty, and its technology has even completed a trademark application with the Korean Intellectual Property Office. It is a procedure that tidies the inner corner of the eye so that the lacrimal caruncle is not exposed too much, the eyes do not look too close together, and scars are not left behind extensively.

The reason this procedure at AINIQUE, which performs Gangnam epicanthoplasty and eye shape correction, is safer than other standard epicanthoplasty procedures is that only the area where the epicanthal fold is located is dissected, so the amount opened is not large.

It is a procedure recommended when only the front part needs to be opened a little and the angle needs to be changed, and it has the advantage of leaving almost no scar.

Second, epicanthoplasty and upper eye corner surgery

Epicanthoplasty and upper eye corner surgery are recommended for those who feel stressed by eyes that look cramped.

Epicanthoplasty and upper eye corner surgery may be performed in cases such as:

  • when you want a clear and elongated eye shape,
  • when the inner corners of the eyes look cramped because of the epicanthal fold,
  • when the shape of the inner corners of the eyes makes the eyes look relatively small,
  • when the space between the eyebrows appears somewhat wide.

Epicanthoplasty is a surgical method that tidies the epicanthal fold and makes the front part look more open. When the direction of the epicanthal fold is located at a 45-degree upward angle, it is called upper eye corner surgery, and it helps make the front line of the double eyelid smoother and more open-looking.

Today, we introduced AINIQUE's special mini epicanthoplasty, as well as epicanthoplasty and upper eye corner surgery.

At AINIQUE, in addition to mini epicanthoplasty and upper eye corner surgery, we also perform safe outer corner surgery that does not leave you worrying about visible red tissue, and lower outer corner surgery, which lowers the outer eye corner while making the eye shape look more open.

In the case of Gangnam epicanthoplasty and eye shape correction, customized procedures are performed depending on the desired eye shape, so a more detailed preoperative consultation is necessary.

Above all, once an eye surgery has already been performed, it is difficult to restore it to how it was before, so it is important to undergo revision surgery from a doctor you can trust from the beginning.

AINIQUE Plastic Surgery continuously conducts research for natural and beautiful eyes, so that the first surgery becomes the last surgery, and we will do our best to help you find your own unique beauty—one and only in the world.

This has been AINIQUE, as if you were beautiful from the very beginning. Thank you.
