Làm mịn góc mắt trong—Cân bằng, tự nhiên và không gây sẹo

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.

Who’s a Good Candidate

  • Prominent inner fold causing crowding or a “curved” crease start
  • Desire for longer horizontal width without over-opening
  • Pairing with double eyelid or ptosis repair for continuity
  • Healthy eyelid tone and realistic expectations

What It Improves

  • Cleaner crease origin (less tapering/skip crease)
  • Wider inner corner and balanced intercanthal show
  • Enhanced symmetry with the outer eye and brow–lid lines
  • Better makeup laydown near the inner corner

Phương pháp phẫu thuật (Tùy chỉnh)

  • Precise marking of angle, length, and fold release
  • Z-plasty / VY / phương pháp tiến triển được lựa chọn để phù hợp với độ căng của da và hướng sẹo
  • Meticulous redraping to prevent webbing and blunt corners
  • Fine layered closure with scar-camouflage orientation

What to Expect

  • Anesthesia: local with sedation (or general, case-dependent)
  • Time: ~30–60 minutes (per side when combined)
  • Thời gian nghỉ dưỡng: sưng/bầm tím 3–7 ngày; cắt chỉ 5–7 ngày
  • Scar maturation: 6–12+ weeks; fades along tension lines

Kết quả & Tuổi thọ

  • Straighter crease origin and natural inner-corner brightness
  • Harmonized proportions without an over-opened look
  • Long-lasting improvement; aging continues naturally

Chăm sóc sau phẫu thuật

  • Cold compress 48 hours; sleep elevated 1 week
  • Lubricating drops/ointment as advised
  • Avoid eye makeup, contact lenses, sauna ~2 weeks
  • Bắt đầu sử dụng kem chống nắng SPF 50 và băng silicon/gel sau khi cắt chỉ nếu được khuyến nghị

Combination Plans

  • Double Eyelid Surgery: for stable crease design
  • Ptosis Repair: for true levator weakness
  • Lateral Canthoplasty: for almond/fox-eye balance
  • Laser toning/LDM: later for redness and texture finesse

Safety & Suitability

  • Fitzpatrick-aware scar strategy to minimize PIH
  • Conservative release to avoid over-shortening the inner corner
  • Performed by a board-certified facial surgeon with ocular-surface protection
