What is Lateral Epicanthoplasty?
Lateral Epicanthoplasty is a cosmetic surgery designed to reshape the outer corners of the eyes. The goal is to make the eyes appear larger and more open by altering the lateral epicanthus, the part of the eye’s inner corner. The procedure can give the eyes a wider, more elongated shape, and make the overall facial appearance more balanced. It is often done to improve aesthetics and can be combined with other eye surgeries, such as double eyelid surgery, to create a complete eye enhancement.
This procedure can lead to a gentler, more youthful appearance and reduce any harsh or tired expressions. The eyes appear larger and brighter, which often gives the entire face a more refreshed and harmonious look. It is especially popular among those who want a more elegant or doll-like eye shape without dramatically changing their natural features.
How It Works
Lateral Epicantholasty works by reshaping the outer corners of the eyes to make them appear longer, wider, and more open. Instead of changing the inner eye area, this procedure focuses only on the outer edges, which helps to soften shaper angles or upward slants. By adjusting the angle of the eye, it creates a more balanced and natural-looking eye shape that complements the rest of the face.
The procedure focuses on adjusting the angle and shape of the outer corner of the eye, making it more natural and less slanted. Lateral Epicanthoplasty is commonly performed on people with a more narrow or fierce facial appearance. It helps create a softer, more balanced eye shape that can significantly enhance a person’s overall look. The procedure can be done alone or with other procedures to achieve a more dramatic transformation of the eyes.
