Epicanthoplasty
commonly known as “eye corner surgery” is a surgical procedure to adjust the shape of the eyes. It helps to solve problems of having a fold of skin at the inner corner of the eye, and narrow or closed inner corners. The surgery involves an incision at the inner corner of the eye, adjusting the underlying tissues and muscles to create a more open and wider appearance. It is often combined with double eyelid surgery to create a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.
Canthoplasty/Canthopexy
is a surgical procedure designed to reshape the outer corner of the eye. It is often performed by creating a small incision made on the outer corner of the eye. The surgeon then tightens the underlying tissues and ligaments to lift the outer corner of the eye to create a more uplifted appearance. This procedure is commonly combined with other eyelid surgeries to achieve optimal results.
Our ophthalmologists will carefully assess your individual needs and develop a customized treatment plan to address your specific concerns.
