Why is it necessary to open the inner corner of the eye when getting double eyelid surgery?
Disease description:
Since I wanted to get double eyelid surgery, I went to the hospital for consultation. The doctor told me that I also need an epicanthoplasty. So why is it necessary to perform epicanthoplasty when getting double eyelid surgery?
Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Li Fengyong
Performing epicanthoplasty along with double eyelid surgery is generally intended to enhance the overall eye appearance. If a patient has epicanthal folds present at the time of double eyelid surgery, undergoing epicanthoplasty can lengthen the eye fissure, create a smoother double eyelid contour, and result in a more aesthetically pleasing and vibrant-looking eye after surgery.
