Can I have canthoplasty along with Korean-style double eyelid surgery?

Generally, epicanthoplasty (corner eye opening) can be performed together with Korean-style ME double eyelid surgery, but it is not recommended if the patient is unsuitable for epicanthoplasty. Detailed analysis is as follows:

Korean-style ME double eyelid surgery primarily focuses on the upper eyelid area, creating a double eyelid crease through minimally invasive techniques such as fine sutures or埋线 (threading). Typically, epicanthoplasty can be performed at the same time. Epicanthoplasty involves modifying the inner or outer eye corners to enhance eye shape, making the eyes appear larger and more aesthetically pleasing. Since the surgical areas for these two procedures are different, they can be performed simultaneously without interfering with each other.

However, if a patient's eye conditions are unsuitable for epicanthoplasty—such as having eyes set too closely together or having a unique corner structure—it is not advisable to perform epicanthoplasty at the same time as the Korean-style ME double eyelid surgery.

It is recommended to visit a reputable medical facility promptly and undergo an evaluation by a qualified physician based on individual circumstances, following professional medical advice for treatment planning.
