Today, when I came to the hospital for an eye corner surgery consultation, I noticed that the doctor wrote "double eyelid with epicanthoplasty" on the form. What exactly is double eyelid with epicanthoplasty?

Dr. Li Qiang
Double eyelid generally refers to double-fold eyelids, so double eyelid surgery with canthoplasty means double-fold eyelid surgery combined with inner corner eye opening. This procedure primarily uses surgical methods to correct epicanthal folds in patients with double eyelids, thereby enhancing the aesthetic appearance of the eyes. However, it is recommended to undergo double eyelid with inner canthus surgery at a正规 medical institution to improve surgical outcomes and reduce risks.
