What is Epicanthoplasty?
Some Asians typically have an epicanthic fold (also called Mongolian fold) which is the skin web between the upper eyelid to the lower eyelid hiding the inner corner of the eye opening. By removing the webbing skin, the hidden inner eye can be exposed further, making the eye bigger.
Medial Epicanthoplasty
  1. Removing the epicanthic fold (mongolian fold)
    About 86.7% of Koreans typically have an epicanthic fold (also called mongolian fold) which the bit of skin from the upper eyelid that comes down over the inner corner of the eye. This fold makes the two eyes look far apart.With epicanthoplasty, the distance between your two eyes will look closer together with bigger eyes as well.
  2. Hidden scar
    Scar can be hidden along the double fold line or the edge of the skin fold.
Upward Epicanthoplasty
Without reducing the intercanthal distance(distance between the eyes), the epicanthal fold can be reduced in upward direction.
