Overview

Epicanthoplasty is the best surgery if you want to widen and enlarge your eyes. The doctor will remove some of the skin in the inner corner of your eye called the ‘mongolian fold’. This part of the skin covers the inside of the eye and makes the eyes look less narrow and more far apart from each other.

When the doctor removes this inner skin, the eyes will look bigger, wider, and clearer. The eyes will also look more balanced. The doctor removes it by creating very small incisions in the inner eye corner. The stitches will be removed 5-7 days after your surgery.




Epicanthoplasty Checklist:


· Do your eyes look narrow? · Do your eyes look like they are spread out too much? · Is there a small skin fold in the inner corner of your eye that you would like to remove? · Would you like clearer, bigger looking eyes?
