Comparing the Progress of Epicanthoplasty in Front of Sinsa Station

There is no single way to change the eyes, the central axis of the face.

In particular, adjusting the distance between the eyes

plays an important role in creating overall balance and harmony.

If the distance between the eyes is somewhat wide,

the center may appear empty,

which can cause stress about appearance.

This kind of proportional concern

can be addressed through epicanthoplasty.

Today, through the changes by stage of a patient

who underwent surgery at our clinic,

we will look at what epicanthoplasty is.

What is epicanthoplasty?

Epicanthoplasty in front of Sinsa Station

is a widening procedure that opens the inner corner of the eyes

to create a clearer eye shape.

It is performed when it is difficult to create change with double-eyelid surgery alone,

or when the eyes appear blurry because the distance between them is wide.

The approach may vary depending on each person's eye shape,

tissue elasticity, and epicanthal fold.

Looking at the patient's preoperative photos,

the distance between the eyes appears slightly wide,

so the eyes look smaller relative to the size of the face.

The goal was to create a more distinct eye shape

and give a more refreshed impression than before.

The photo below shows 3 weeks after epicanthoplasty.

Overall, the horizontal length of the eyes appears longer,

and the space between the eyebrows appears narrower.

Epicanthoplasty procedure, learn about the process

✔️ Eye shape design

• After analyzing the eye structure, muscles, and skin tissue, the eye shape is designed.

✔️ Incision of the epicanthal fold

• The blocked area is expanded by incising the epicanthal fold at the inner corner of the eye.

✔️ Repositioning and suturing after dissection

• The muscles and skin at the inner corner of the eye are delicately dissected.

• They are repositioned according to the design.

• After removing excess skin, the area is finely sutured.

✔️ Suture removal

• The surgery takes about 20 to 30 minutes.

• The sutures are removed after one week.

Ruho Plastic Surgery Clinic's epicanthoplasty

uses delicate surgical techniques to hide the scar inside

so it is not visible from the outside.

A face that feels narrow because the space between the eyes is wide

can naturally change into a clearer impression.
