Epicanthoplasty includes the following aspects:
First is medial epicanthoplasty. Usually, when people talk about epicanthoplasty, they refer to medial epicanthoplasty. There is a webbed deformity at the inner corner of the eye. If the epicanthus is not corrected, the double eyelid after surgery will be in an open - fan shape, or relatively short and narrow, and tend to be a hidden double eyelid, with an unobvious makeup effect. Through surgery, the webbed deformed skin is incised, thus achieving the effect of making the eyes look longer and the double eyelids wider.
Second is lateral epicanthoplasty, which involves incising the skin at the outer corner of the eye to make the eyes appear longer. Generally, lateral epicanthoplasty is not recommended because there is limited skin available for incision at the outer corner of the eye, which may cause excessive exposure of the conjunctiva and make the eyes look unnatural.
