Epicanthoplasty & Upper Epicanthoplasty

Repositioning or removing the epicanthal fold
for larger, more defined eyes

By slightly opening the inner corner of the eye, both the horizontal and vertical dimensions of the eye appear larger. If your eyes still look small or stuffy even after double eyelid surgery, epicanthoplasty & upper epicanthoplasty can correct the epicanthal fold to create a natural, refreshed eye shape.

Effective for those who want
larger, refreshed eyes
by expanding the inner corner!

Why HUGO Plastic Surgery's
Eye Opening Surgery Is Special!

  • 01

    Customized Eye Opening Surgery

    Through precise analysis and consultation, we perform
    personalized eye opening surgery for larger, refreshing eyes.

  • 02

    Synergy with Double Eyelid Surgery

    It can be performed alone, but combined with double eyelid surgery,
    even more satisfying results can be achieved.

  • 03

    Prevention of Re-adhesion

    To prevent re-adhesion side effects,
    we firmly secure and connect the skin and muscles.

The key is correcting the epicanthal fold
without excessive exposure of the inner eye!

The epicanthal fold at the inner corner is repositioned or removed to open up space around the eye.
Results vary depending on individual intercanthal distance, eye size, and condition, but typically 1-3 mm of opening can be achieved.

  • 01
    Before Surgery

    Eyes with double eyelids but a stuffy appearance

  • 02
    Design

    The design is planned considering
    the balance of the face and eyes.

  • 03
    Epicanthal Fold Incision

    The epicanthal fold is incised
    toward the inner corner according to the medial canthus.

  • 04
    Delicate Suturing

    Sutures are placed toward the inner corner
    so the incision line (scar) remains hidden.

  • 05
    After Surgery

    The eyes become larger
    and beautifully transformed.

The skin covering the inner corner is lifted upward at a 45-degree angle to expose the double eyelid crease.
Upper epicanthoplasty has the advantage of reducing excessive mucosal exposure and preventing the eyes from appearing too close together.
