[Etone TV] There is a particular type of eye that works well for epicanthoplasty!

Misconceptions and truths about epicanthoplasty,

and

which eyes are suitable for epicanthoplasty

let’s take a closer look.

When thinking about making the eyes more attractive,

the plan usually focuses on making the eyes look bigger.

People who want to lengthen the eyes

often consider epicanthoplasty.

How large the eyes appear is determined not only by the size of the eyes themselves,

but also by factors such as the size of the face, the amount of empty space,

and the horizontal and vertical proportions of the eyes.

Epicanthoplasty

has the effect of making the eyes look bigger

by extending the horizontal length of the eyes.

In fact, for epicanthoplasty,

I recommend it to patients less often than other procedures.

That is because

it is often not very effective,

and there is a greater possibility

of problems arising.

When looking straight ahead,

with the black pupil as the center,

it looks natural and attractive when the white of the eye visible in front

and the white of the eye visible in the back

appear to be roughly in a 1:1 ratio.

Because Asians often have an epicanthic fold,

the inner side is often narrower than the area around the pupil.

So if the inner side is widened a little,

it often becomes naturally balanced and more attractive,

but on the outer side,

there is rarely a shortage compared with the front length,

making it harder to widen.

Because our eyes are spherical,

even if I perform a surgery that opens them by 3–4 mm,

the effect seen from the front is not very large.

Even if they are opened by 4 mm,

what is visible from the front is only a little over 2 mm of added length,

so there are many situations in which it may not be very meaningful.

The principle is to open the area where the upper and lower eyelids meet

so that more of the outer white of the eye is visible,

but the important point here is that

a person’s eye size is limited by the shape of the bones.

So, simply having epicanthoplasty done

does not mean the eyes will become dramatically larger,

so do not place epicanthoplasty as your top priority,

and make the decision after consulting with a specialist.

When the outer corner is high,

the back side is narrow,

the skin is not very thick,

and there is sufficient space between the eye and the bone,

performing epicanthoplasty definitely makes the eyes look much more attractive.

For these people, epicanthoplasty can make the eye shape look much brighter and softer,

so in such cases I usually recommend having epicanthoplasty.

You often hear people say that after epicanthoplasty,

it “sticks back together.”

In fact, the area can reattach after epicanthoplasty.

If you only open that part,

it remains an area that keeps touching,

and because it is related to the mucous membrane,

it is true that the wounds can adhere to each other.

So to prevent sticking,

and to address this issue,

a variety of surgical methods were developed,

and especially when lower eyelid surgery is performed together with epicanthoplasty,

it can help prevent reattachment

and achieve more effective results.

When I perform epicanthoplasty,

rather than doing epicanthoplasty alone,

I often combine it with lower eyelid surgery.

That is because the back side has already been widened,

so there is not much that can reattach.

However, after epicanthoplasty,

the outer corner of the eye can sometimes become unnatural,

like a ㄷ-shape.

If epicanthoplasty is done excessively,

or if there is an unreasonable attempt to change the position of the outer corner,

that kind of unnatural shape can occur.

If surgery is performed while avoiding artificial or forceful manipulation,

it usually does not cause major problems.

Therefore,

for a natural result,

it is important to carefully plan the surgery while considering each person’s eye shape

and the harmony of the entire face.

Because epicanthoplasty is a procedure that involves the conjunctival area,

swelling or inflammation can occur after surgery.

In such cases,

compresses can help,

and if necessary,

anti-inflammatory injections can also be helpful.

The most important thing is to follow the precautions explained by the clinic,

and if you feel any discomfort,

contact the clinic immediately

and receive appropriate care.
