Upper Epicanthoplasty Effects: Significantly Improve a Heavy-Looking Eye Shape!

Hello,

This is Iunik Plastic Surgery.

Do your eyes and eye shape fit any of the cases below?

• The inner corner of the eye is covered by an epicanthal fold

• The eye looks smaller because of the shape of the inner corner

• The space between the eyes appears somewhat wide

If so, a front epicanthoplasty or upper epicanthoplasty may be needed to smooth and open up the front line of the double eyelid.

So today, for those of you with these concerns,

we will take a detailed look at the effects of front epicanthoplasty and upper epicanthoplasty.

Front epicanthoplasty and upper epicanthoplasty are among the procedures that can clearly improve a heavy-looking eye shape.

Front epicanthoplasty reshapes the epicanthal fold so that the front part of the eye looks more open and refreshing.

At this time, if the direction of the epicanthal fold is located toward the upper 45-degree direction, upper epicanthoplasty is needed.

What exactly is the 'epicanthal fold' mentioned here? The epicanthal fold is a feature that is especially common in Asian eyes.

Because the inner corner of the eye is covered in a hook-like shape, it can bury the double-eyelid line and make the eye shape look heavy, make the eyes look smaller, or make the space between the eyes appear somewhat wide.

Therefore, reshaping the epicanthal fold so that the eye shape can open up more clearly is what can be called the effect of front epicanthoplasty and upper epicanthoplasty.

In addition to the clear eye-shape improvement made possible by upper epicanthoplasty and front epicanthoplasty, Iunik also offers customized canthoplasty procedures tailored to the eye shape you want.

Among them are Iunik’s special canthoplasty procedures that many people choose: 'Mini Front Epicanthoplasty,' as well as 'Safe Lateral Canthoplasty,' which does not expose the red tissue, and 'Lower Lateral Canthoplasty,' which lowers the outer corner of the eye to create a clearer eye shape.

In the case of Iunik Mini Front Epicanthoplasty, which is loved alongside the effects of upper epicanthoplasty, this is Iunik’s signature procedure that compensates for the shortcomings of conventional front epicanthoplasty.

A process is carried out to reshape the inner corner of the eye so that the lacrimal caruncle (the red inner part where tears collect) is not overly exposed, the eyes do not look too close together, and scarring is minimized.

In particular, because only the area where the epicanthal fold is located is dissected, the opening is not excessive, so it remains natural and leaves almost no scar.

The next Iunik canthoplasty procedure to introduce is Iunik’s "Safe Lateral Canthoplasty," which minimizes side effects and red tissue exposure caused by lateral canthoplasty.

In the case of lateral canthoplasty, the most common side effect is excessive removal of skin, which causes the inner mucosa to become exposed outward.

However, at Iunik, only the amount of mucosa needed is removed, opening the eyes in a refreshing way while removing less skin than mucosa, so external exposure of the mucosa can be fundamentally prevented.

Finally, the last Iunik canthoplasty procedure we will introduce is Lower Lateral Canthoplasty, which softens an upward-tilted outer eye corner into a gentler eye shape.

Lower Lateral Canthoplasty is recommended for people whose outer eye corners are significantly lifted, making their impression appear somewhat harsh. By opening the outer corner with lateral canthoplasty and fixing it to the outer bone, we design an ideal eye-corner angle of 5 to 10 degrees.

Through Lower Lateral Canthoplasty, you can achieve a softer impression as well as a longer, more refreshed eye shape.

So far, we have looked closely at the effects of front epicanthoplasty and upper epicanthoplasty, as well as Iunik’s canthoplasty procedures by type.
