Eye surgery
Epicanthoplasty (inner corner)
Releases the inner-corner fold so the eye looks longer and the inter-eye distance narrower; usually combined with double-eyelid surgery for a continuous fold.
Who it suits
- Prominent epicanthal fold covering the inner corner
- Wide distance between the eyes
Technique highlights
- Longer, more open-looking eyes
- Performed together with double-eyelid surgery
Surgical steps
- The opening angle is designed to suit the face
- The fold is released and the corner reshaped
- Fine sutures minimise scarring
Recovery & aftercare
- Sutures removed around day 5-7
- Redness at the inner corner fades in 1-3 months
Risks & things to consider
- Over-opening looks harsh, so the design must be conservative
- The scar is in a visible area and needs careful aftercare
Frequently asked questions
Must it be combined with double-eyelid surgery?
Not always, but the two are usually combined so the fold flows naturally and the eye proportions balance.
