Medial Epicanthoplasty

Medial epicanthoplasty is removal of Mongolian fold which obstruct the inner corner of the eyes. This procedure decreases intercanthal distance and also reveals medial half of the eyes by turning aside the redundant drooping Mongolian fold. As a result, the eyes will look bigger and brighter, less slanted. There may be a slight redness where the incision was made . However, it will subside within time.

Lateral Canthoplasty

The outside corner of the eye can also be reshaped to lengthen the eye. In some patients, the outer eye corner is rounded for the length of the eye is shortened. Lateral canthoplasty is repositioning the lateral canthal tendon by detaching the junction of the outer upper and lower eyelids. Scars are hidden within the eyelid margins and are usually not visible. Approximately, 1-3 mm can be elongated on each eye and they rarely re-attach. This procedure is also convenient for the eyes that are slanted upward, but because of individual factors, not everyone will achieve the same result. In-office consultation is recommended.
