Epicanthoplasty: Brighten the Crowded Look at the Inner Corners of the Eyes

The eyes take up the largest share of the face, so many people try eye surgery, such as double eyelid surgery. However, eye shapes that are not improved by a double eyelid line can be improved through canthoplasty.

Epicanthoplasty is a surgery that rearranges or removes the folds at the inner corner of the eye, partially narrowing the space between the eyebrows. By incising the skin at the inner eye area, it helps the lacrimal caruncle become appropriately visible, and the horizontal length of the eyes is expanded, improving the eyes to look more open and clear.

Epicanthoplasty is performed under local anesthesia and sedation, and the surgery takes about 20 to 30 minutes. Discharge is possible on the day of surgery, and in most cases major swelling subsides after about a week, while any remaining minor swelling and bruising gradually become less noticeable after about two weeks.

At Wink Plastic Surgery near Sinsa Station, epicanthoplasty is recommended through a one-on-one consultation with Chief Director Seung-hyeop Choi, allowing for a more delicate approach and a method suited to each individual. We create a natural eye shape with little to no visible trace, and through our extensive experience, Wink Plastic Surgery minimizes drawbacks such as scarring with its minimally invasive incision technique.

Epicanthoplasty is often performed when the inner epicanthal fold is particularly prominent. The epicanthal fold refers to the fold covering the inner corner of the eye, which can interfere with the formation of a double eyelid and may cause the double eyelid to loosen. A similar procedure, upper canthoplasty, opens the epicanthal fold in the 45-degree upward direction. This may be necessary for some patients, but basically you can think of it as almost the same procedure as epicanthoplasty.

As above, epicanthoplasty is recommended for those who want to open up a congested-looking eye shape. It is important to determine whether this surgery is truly necessary for you, and because the degree of opening can vary depending on an individual’s eye shape and structure, a detailed consultation with medical staff is essential.

Epicanthoplasty at Wink Plastic Surgery slightly opens the area in front of the inner corner of the eye, creating the effect of increasing both the horizontal and vertical dimensions of the eyes. For those whose eyes still look congested even after double eyelid surgery, epicanthoplasty can create a natural and more open eye shape.
