[Lari Plastic Surgery] Cutting Away the Epicanthal Fold: No-Canthus-Opening Surgery Instead of Epicanthoplasty

Epicanthal fold removal = canthus opening

This is an unchanging truth that most people know.

However

Can the epicanthal fold be removed without canthus opening?!

Canthus-opening surgery has long been known as a procedure used to remove the epicanthal fold and create a smoother double-eyelid line.

Because it opens the front area to a certain extent,

1. if the space between the eyebrows is narrow,
2. if the inner corners have already been opened a lot, or
3. if the lacrimal caruncle is highly exposed,

it is true that canthus-opening surgery can be difficult to consider.

As a solution to this, the procedure performed at Lari Plastic Surgery is what is called no-canthus-opening surgery. In other words, as the name suggests, it is a procedure that cuts the epicanthal fold without opening the front area any further, extracting only the advantages of canthus opening.

In cases where the double eyelids do not come out nicely even after double-eyelid surgery because of a deep or long epicanthal fold, no-canthus-opening surgery can cut the epicanthal fold without opening the front area any further and reframe the double-eyelid line more smoothly from the inner corner.

No-canthus-opening surgery can also be performed even if canthus-opening surgery was done in the past, as long as there is still epicanthal fold tissue that needs to be removed, and although it may not be 100% perfect, compared with before surgery, the epicanthal fold is clearly cut away.

No-canthus-opening surgery, which barely opens the inner corner, differs from general canthus-opening surgery and upper canthus-opening surgery in that, because it is like not opening the front area at all, it can instead slightly reduce the lacrimal caruncle. Even so, like other procedures, it is a surgery with high satisfaction depending on the results.

By performing no-canthus-opening surgery and double-eyelid revision with lowering of the line at the same time, the eye shape became smoother when the eyes are open, and even the uneven skin that was noticeable when the eyes were closed was smoothed out, leaving a much more attractive appearance after surgery.

No-canthus-opening surgery is possible not only for people with double eyelids, but also for people without double eyelids. However, if the goal is to improve the heavy appearance caused by the epicanthal fold, there are cases where it is better to perform double-eyelid surgery together depending on the eye shape and condition, so sufficient consultation before surgery is necessary.
