Epicanthoplasty and Eye Corner Surgery

Epicanthoplasty is a procedure that modifies the skin fold at the inner corner of the eye (the epicanthal fold). Depending on individual anatomy and treatment goals, it may be considered on its own or alongside double eyelid surgery.

Medial epicanthoplasty focuses on the inner corner of the eye. Lateral canthoplasty addresses the outer corner and is a different surgical technique. The most appropriate approach depends on eyelid anatomy, eye position and a surgeon’s examination.
