There is a range of eyelid surgeries that are popular among patients of Asian descent. One of the most prominent and widely known is the Double eyelid surgery. However, some patients need an additional operation to make their eyes wider. One of the popular surgery that can be performed together with Double eyelid Surgery is a Medial Epicanthoplasty. This type of surgery significantly lengthens the inner corner of the eyes making them wider and bigger.
The doctor will decide whether you are suitable for this kind of operation. Mostly, it depends on the severity of your epicanthal fold. If your eyes are positioned too close to each other, this method may not be appropriate for you.
Though the operation is relatively simple, it should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon with a wide range of experience to achieve the best results.
Medial Epicanthoplasty is also known as a Mongolian fold surgery. The operation helps achieve a parallel crease shape of the inner corners of eyes. Epicanthoplasty makes the inner eyelid wider and sharper, making the overall eye look more attractive. Excess skin is removed and the shape of the inner eyelid corrected.
The inner corners of the eyes are delicately sutured. The sutures are usually removed on the 7th day after the operation. It is highly advised not to touch the operated area and avoid going to sauna and do strenuous activities.
