This procedure involves making an incision along the shape of the inner eye area, dissecting the skin, and repositioning or removing the epicanthal fold to widen the concealed space at the inner corner of the eyes. Although results vary depending on the individual eye structure, an opening effect of approximately 1–3 mm can generally be expected, and it may also be performed in conjunction with double-eyelid surgery.
Surgery Overview
Epicanthoplasty is a procedure that involves making an incision along the shape of the inner corner of the eye, dissecting the skin, and repositioning or removing the epicanthal fold to widen the concealed area at the front of the eye. Results vary depending on the shape and structure of the eyes, but an opening effect of approximately 1–3 mm can generally be expected. It may also be performed together with Double Eyelid Surgery.
Achieve larger, more open-looking eyes with Epicanthoplasty. Are you dissatisfied with the size of your eyes with double eyelids alone? Epicanthoplasty can improve the eye shape to look larger and more open. However, indiscriminate Epicanthoplasty can reduce satisfaction or cause side effects, so a thorough assessment is important.
Recommended for
· Those who have double eyelids but whose inner eye area looks constricted · Those with prominent epicanthal folds that make the eyes look constricted and affect the double-eyelid line · Those who are dissatisfied with their eye size or shape with Double Eyelid Surgery alone

By opening the concealed area at the front of the eyes, Epicanthoplasty creates larger, more defined eye contours. Prominent epicanthal folds can make the eyes look constricted and affect the double-eyelid line; therefore, Epicanthoplasty may be considered for a natural and beautiful eye shape. Based on extensive expertise, Urban's Epicanthoplasty removes the constricting epicanthal folds at the inner corners of the eyes to create beautiful eye contours.
