Epicanthoplasty
Epicanthoplasty is a procedure that removes the epicanthal (Mongolian) fold or improves the double eyelid line, opening the inner corner of eyes that look heavy to create a brighter, more open look.
-
Epicanthoplasty is performed as an additional procedure because when the double eyelid line is visible from the inner corner, it gives a brighter, more open look and the eyes appear larger.
-
A one-size-fits-all epicanthoplasty that does not suit the patient can look unnatural or leave only a noticeable scar, so we perform it only when the patient actually needs it.

Lower
Canthoplasty
A procedure that gently lowers an outer eye corner that slants upward, softening a sharp-looking gaze into a gentler one.
-
Lower canthoplasty can be done together with lower blepharoplasty. It gently lowers the upturned outer corner of the eye to create a softer eye shape, and is performed under IV sedation.
-
When performed on its own, an incision is made at the lateral canthoplasty site and the ligament at the outer corner is moved downward to lower the eye corner. It is performed under IV sedation.
