Uncomfortable Epicanthal Folds? If It’s an Epicanthoplasty, You Can Change to a Fresher, Softer Impression

Incision eye surgery is divided into several types, such as inner corner surgery, outer corner surgery, lower corner surgery, and dual corner surgery.

Among them, let’s talk about inner corner surgery, which opens up the epicanthal fold at the inner side of the eye.

Incision procedures are not simply surgeries that make the eyes look larger; they are surgeries that create a beautiful eye line by considering the overall harmony of the face, including the degree of exposure of the inner corner of the eye, the distance between the eyes, and the inner corner of the eye hidden by the epicanthal fold.

The epicanthal fold is a wrinkle of the eyelid that covers the inner corner of the eye, and it appears in more than 70% of Koreans. Because it covers the inner corner of the eye, the eyes can look smaller and more cramped.

In addition, an epicanthal fold that extends deeply toward the front of the eye can give a sharp impression. Inner corner surgery is a procedure that removes this epicanthal fold, and when performed together with double eyelid surgery, it can create larger, more open-looking eyes.

Inner Corner Surgery Method

step 01. Before surgery, the current eye condition is diagnosed and the design is tailored to the individual’s most suitable eye shape.

step 02. The epicanthal fold at the inner corner of the eye is incised.

step 03. The band inside the epicanthal fold is released and the area is sutured so that no scar remains.

step 04. Completion of large, natural, and refreshed-looking eyes!

Just as eye plastic surgery is performed while considering factors such as eye length, the amount of fat in the eyelids, and the distance between the eyes, inner corner surgery must also be performed after considering multiple factors.

At this time, if the slope formed at the inner corner of the eye due to the epicanthal fold gives a sharp impression, combining it with upper corner surgery at the inner corner of the eye can create a much softer and more attractive eye shape. If the distance between the eyes is close and there is an epicanthal fold, the surgery removes only the epicanthal fold while maintaining the distance between the eyes so that the eyes do not appear too close together and instead look refreshed.

Inner corner surgery is recommended for the following people.

> If the horizontal width of the eyes is narrow, making them look cramped, or if the space between the eyebrows appears wide and gives an unfavorable impression

> If the epicanthal fold extends downward to the lower eyelid like a wrinkle

> If there is pseudostrabismus (the black pupils appear to be drawn inward)

> If the inner corner of the eye is raised or pointed, making the person look fierce and giving a strong impression
