Epicanthoplasty for Removing the Epicanthic Fold - Correcting the Hook Shape

Epicanthoplasty is a surgery intended to make the eyes look larger by exposing the lacrimal caruncle hidden by the epicanthic fold. Another important purpose of epicanthoplasty is to remove the hook shape caused by the epicanthic fold, making the inner eye corner look sharper.

#Epicanthoplasty and #epicanthicfoldremoval have very important meaning. If the epicanthic fold is severe, the inner part of the eyes can look cramped, and it can also create a hook shape at the inner corner, making the eyes look sharper.

East Asians in the Far East region of China, Korea, and Japan often have a hook from the epicanthic fold and upturned outer corners of the eyes, so to Westerners they may look like the eyes of the Disney character Mulan. This type of eye correction requires adjusting both the inner and outer corners of the eyes.

When performing epicanthoplasty, if the distance between the eyes is not close, you can simply remove the epicanthic fold while doing the procedure without much concern. However, if the eyes are close together and you are worried that epicanthoplasty will make them look too close, trying to remove the epicanthic fold may result in the eyes appearing crowded.

Can the epicanthic fold be removed without epicanthoplasty?

The start of epicanthoplasty without incision.

If lacrimal caruncle exposure is already sufficient, or if the eyes are close together, then with conventional epicanthoplasty alone, even if the epicanthic fold is removed, the eyes may look crowded, so it cannot really be called successful epicanthic fold removal. In such cases, a solution can be #epicanthoplastywithoutincision, which removes only the epicanthic fold without exposing more of the lacrimal caruncle.

No epicanthoplasty! Remove only the epicanthic fold!
