There are typically two methods for epicanthoplasty: traditional epicanthoplasty and scarless epicanthoplasty. Traditional epicanthoplasty usually involves removing excess tissue from the inner corner of the eye and suturing the area, resulting in a larger-looking eye after recovery. Scarless epicanthoplasty hides the incision within the natural skin folds, minimizing visible scarring. The choice of method can be determined based on the individual's eye condition.
