Refine the Inner Corner—Balanced, Natural, and Scar-Conscious

Epicanthoplasty gently releases or reshapes the medial epicanthal fold to open the inner eye corner, improve crease continuity, and create a cleaner, elongated eye line. At UE Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, our female board-certified facial surgeon uses conservative vectors and scar-minimizing techniques for a subtle, authentic result.
