Suitable candidates for medial epicanthoplasty
Disease description:
I was born with relatively small eyes and would like to undergo eye enlargement surgery, but I've heard this type of surgery is only suitable for certain individuals. Who are the appropriate candidates for medial epicanthoplasty (inner corner eye widening surgery)?

Dr. Li Qiang
Medial epicanthoplasty is primarily suitable for individuals with wide-set eyes, those seeking improvement in double eyelid appearance, and those born with small eyes. For people with a wide distance between the eyes, this surgery removes the epicanthal fold and reduces the interocular distance. Medial epicanthoplasty can also be performed simultaneously with double eyelid surgery. Additionally, for individuals with small eyes, the procedure can widen the eye fissure, resulting in eyes that appear longer, larger, and more expressive.
