What is epicanthoplasty - teuim clinic dr.kwon

A Mongolian fold, which is a physical characteristic of the Northeast Asian Mongoloid races, is the thick skin that droops down, connecting the upper eyelid with the lower eyelid. Epicanthoplasty is the name of the operation that removes Mongolian folds that cover the inner corner of your eyes, so that your eyes look more opened and become more refined and bigger.

For those who have a wide distance between eyes or has small eyes, or looks severe because of inclination of the inner corner of your eyes by a Mongolian fold, then epicanthoplasty is necessary.

When it is performed with a double eyelid surgery at the same time, the actual horizontal length of eyes can be extended and the interepicanthal distance will also be narrowed. After all, attractive and refined double eyelids will be created by improvement of the Mongolian folds.

After Magic epicanthoplasty, wouldn’t I really have to worry about a remaining scar? Do I have to take care of it?

Most people generally worry about a remainder of a scar. Conventional surgeries may leave you with a scar after the removal of severe Mongolian folds. In that case, a deep scar may remain and there is a chance that it will not disappear quickly.

On the other hand, in case of our Magic epicanthoplasty, the surgical incision is situated in a hidden place and is not visible. Of course it can’t be 100% assured that no scar will be left at all because this is an operation requiring surgical incision. However, it can be insisted that there is hardly social stress from patients by a severe scar. If there is a scar, it will be close to being invisible after 2 to 3 months. The slight scars may be covered by make-up of glasses frames, but there’s no need to worry about them because they do not last too long.

If a scar still remains after the surgery undertaken previously from another clinic, a steroid injection or a laser treatment is performed for easing the scar. And medicines should be taken if the case is severe. But when one takes the original magic epicanthoplasty from Teuim plastic surgery, there would be no additional treatment procedure and no mental stress from a scar. 








Magic epicanthoplasty has an aim not only to remove the epicanthal fold (make the eyes look larger and obtain a more distinct eyeline) but also to make the eyes morizontal. That is, a person who wants to have a nice looking eyeline (as in the shape of a semicircle,) has to consider epicanthoplasty after confirming the existence of Mongolian folds of his/her own eyes.

Won’t the expression of my eyes look more severe after the Magic epicanthoplasty?

There is a red flesh, called a caruncle of eye, hidden inside of the Mongolian folds. For Westerners, most of these parts are exposed, while it is mainly covered in Asians. Considering the overall shapes of eyes, it is better to be exposed harmoniously.

To make big and beautiful eyes, red flesh of the inner corner of the eyes should be exposed. The inner eyes of most celebrities’ are exposed and they have weak Mongolian folds. Shapes of the red flesh and the inner corner of the eyes are different in everyone so the degree or direction of the exposure must be considered and observed carefully before the surgery.
