Medial Epicanthoplasty (Refining The Inner Eye Corner For Brighter And Wider Eyes)

· Those in Tokyo looking for eyelid enhancement.
· Those with Mongolian folds.
· Those with downward sloping inner eye corners.
· Those who want their eyes to appear larger.
· Those who wish to have more symmetry and definition in their eye shape.

Medial Epicanthoplasty is a type of cosmetic eyelid surgery that focuses on reshaping the inner corners of the eyes, specifically by removing or adjusting the Mongolian fold, a small piece of skin that covers the inner eye corner and is common among East Asian individuals. This fold can make the eyes appear shorter, smaller, or less defined, and it can also create the appearance of a wide gap between the eyes. The purpose of this procedure is to gently open up the inner corners, giving the eyes a larger, more symmetrical, and more youthful look. Many people choose this procedure to enhance their natural features, boost their facial harmony, and achieve a more alert, attractive appearance.

From a beauty perspective, the procedure offers several aesthetic benefits. It can make the eyes look larger and brighter, reduce the appearance of tired or droopy eyes, and bring better symmetry and proportion to the face. For those who wish to have parallel double eyelids, removing the Mongolian fold can also support a cleaner and more noticeable crease. Overall, this enhancement brings a refreshed, youthful, and elegant appearance, helping the eyes stand out more naturally and attractively.

Medial Epicanthoplasty works by enhancing the shape and openness of the inner corners of the eyes, specifically addressing the presence of the Mongolian fold. This fold, commonly found in East Asian individuals, can give the eyes a shorter, rounder, or less defined appearance. By modifying this fold, the eyes are able to appear longer, more open, and better balanced across the face. The change creates a smoother and more harmonious eye contour, allowing for a more expressive look that complements the natural features.

The procedure is often performed alongside double eyelid surgery, especially for those who want parallel double eyelids or a more dramatic transformation. While the procedure involves making small incisions, modern techniques ensure that scars are hidden within the natural creases of the eye and become barely noticeable over time. Medial Epicanthoplasty is especially recommended for people who feel their eyes look tired, droopy, too close together due to the fold. It is a popular option for patients looking for subtle yet effective changes that enhance the shape, brightness, and openness of the eyes, making them look naturally expressive and balanced with the rest of the face.
