Disease description:

I’ve always felt that my eyes are slightly narrow and elongated, so I’m considering undergoing epicanthoplasty to make them appear significantly larger. Could you please explain what epicanthoplasty is, and are there any associated risks?

Hello, epicanthoplasty is a type of minimally invasive cosmetic procedure, primarily involving medial (inner) or lateral (outer) canthoplasty—surgical techniques designed to make the eyes appear larger. Currently, epicanthoplasty techniques are well-established; when performed at a reputable hospital, the procedure is generally safe and carries minimal risk. I hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
