Epicanthoplasty

Unveiling the Beauty of Your Eyes

Epicanthoplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at enhancing the appearance of the eyes by altering the inner corner (epicanthal fold) where the upper and lower eyelids meet. This procedure is often chosen to create a wider and more open-eyed look, providing a subtle yet impactful transformation.

What to Expect?

Consultation

Before undergoing epicanthoplasty, a thorough consultation with our experienced surgeons is essential. During this session, your surgeon will discuss your goals, assess your facial features, and determine if epicanthoplasty is the right procedure for you.

Local Anesthesia

Epicanthoplasty is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation to ensure a pain-free experience. Your surgeon will discuss the anesthesia options during the consultation.

Incision

The surgeon carefully makes small incisions in the inner corners of the eyes, allowing precise adjustments to the epicanthal fold. The size and location of the incisions will be customized based on your unique anatomy and desired outcomes.

Adjustment & Closure

The surgeon makes subtle modifications to the tissue to create a more open appearance. Once the adjustments are complete, the incisions are meticulously closed with fine sutures, ensuring minimal scarring.

Recovery

Recovery from epicanthoplasty is generally swift. Patients may experience mild swelling and bruising, which typically subsides within a week. Follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your progress and address any concerns.

FAQ

Is Epicanthoplasty Permanent?

Epicanthoplasty is a permanent procedure, and the results are designed to last. The adjustments made to the inner corners of the eyes are intended to create a lasting, natural-looking transformation.

What is the Downtime for Epicanthoplasty?

While individual experiences may vary, most patients can expect a relatively short downtime. Swelling and bruising are common in the first week, and patients can typically resume regular activities within 7-10 days.
