First, let us start from the epicanthoplasty. Even if this is a surgery with high success rate, one must not gloss over few complications.

After the epicanthoplasty, as the doctor makes an incision, there might be left some visible scars for some months after the surgery. Another potential side effect is that since everybody's organism is different, there might be infection during the surgery but that barely happens because the surgery is safe and causes very few side effects.

This is why, most patients who undergo epicanthoplasty feel satisfied with the overall result of the surgery.

Next is the possible side effects of lateral canthoplasty. In comparison with the Epicanthoplasty, Lateral canthoplasty leaves less visible scars because the doctor makes the incision at the margin of upper and lower eyelash skin.

However, there might appear little redness on the surgery area which by the time gets far less visible. If the conditions below apply to you, you cannot have epicanthoplasty or lateral canthoplasty or any other eye surgeries because that may lead to serious complications.

Thus, before making a decision about the surgeries, a great amount of close studying and consultation with the specialist are required.

- Those with chronic eye disease or eyes which cannot tolerate the stimulus or pressure on the cornea

- Those with the excessive amount of saggy skin under the eye at the lateral canthus

- Those not wishing to have eyelash inversion at the dissection area.
