EPICANTHOPLASTY
Epicanthoplasty can elongate the eyes horizontally to make them look big and wide. It releases and corrects the epicanthal or Mongolian fold, which is located either on the inner or outer corner of the eyes. This procedure is often recommended in conjunction with double eyelid surgery for optimal results.
How is the Medial Epicanthoplasty performed?
This surgery reshapes the inner corners of the eyes to make the eyes appear bigger and brighter.
It is recommended for people who have the medial epicanthus (Mongolian fold). This surgery can
“redrape” the skin into a desirable shape or slant by cutting or removing it, and sutures are hidden
along the new corners of the eyes. It can be performed alone or together with double eyelid surgery.
Medial Epicanthoplasty can benefit:
- People with severe Mongolian folds.
- People who want bigger eyes.
- People with downward sloped inner eye corners.
