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

Why HUGO Plastic Surgery's
Eye Opening Surgery Is Special!
-
01Customized Eye Opening Surgery
Through precise analysis and consultation, we perform
personalized eye opening surgery for larger, refreshing eyes. -
02Synergy with Double Eyelid Surgery
It can be performed alone, but combined with double eyelid surgery,
even more satisfying results can be achieved. -
03Prevention 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.
-
01Before Surgery
Eyes with double eyelids but a stuffy appearance
-
02Design
The design is planned considering
the balance of the face and eyes. -
03Epicanthal Fold Incision
The epicanthal fold is incised
toward the inner corner according to the medial canthus. -
04Delicate Suturing
Sutures are placed toward the inner corner
so the incision line (scar) remains hidden. -
05After 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.
