Epicanthoplasty (Inner Eye Corner Surgery)

What is Epicanthoplasty?

Epicanthoplasty is a delicate cosmetic eye surgery that reduces or removes the epicanthal fold — the skin covering the inner corner of the eye. This procedure enhances the eye shape, making the eyes appear bigger, more open, and balanced. It’s often performed alongside double eyelid surgery for a more dramatic effect but can also be done alone for a subtle improvement

How It Works

During epicanthoplasty, a small incision is made to release the epicanthal fold and reveal more of the inner eye area. Advanced techniques such as Z-plasty or inside-fold methods are used to minimize visible scarring and preserve a natural appearance. This procedure is often paired with double eyelid surgery but can also be performed alone for a subtle eye-opening effect.

Benefits of Epicanthoplasty

• Enlarges the appearance of the eyes
• Softens sharp or harsh inner eye contours
• Creates better spacing between the eyes
• Enhances overall symmetry and balance
• Complements other eyelid surgeries for comprehensive eye reshaping
• Minimal scarring with the right technique

Ideal Candidates

You may be a good candidate for epicanthoplasty if you:

• Have prominent Mongolian folds
• Feel your eyes appear too close together or small
• Desire larger, brighter-looking eyes
• Are seeking a refined yet natural result

Recovery and Aftercare

• Mild swelling or redness may occur for 5–10 days
• Sutures are removed around 5–7 days post-surgery
• Avoid rubbing or pulling the inner eye corner during recovery
• Results begin to settle within 2–3 weeks
• Use cold compresses and prescribed ointments as directed
