Why perform epicanthoplasty (corner eye surgery)?

The purpose of epicanthoplasty (eye corner opening) is to enlarge the eye fissure, making the eyes appear longer and more aesthetically pleasing. It can also help improve cases of medial or lateral epicanthal folds. This procedure primarily involves surgically removing excess skin at the eye corners to enhance the overall eye shape. After undergoing epicanthoplasty, patients should maintain a light diet and keep the surgical site clean and dry to prevent infection.
