epicanthoplasty and double eyelid surgery

This patient visited Teuim to improve double eye lie line from past surgery.

Her double eyelid line was designed higher than the Mogolian fold’s tension line so her lines have faded away in her inner corner eyes and is covered by Mogolian fold.

After Magic epicanthoplasty the tension of Mongolian fold is released and inner corner double eyelid line is fixed so that the line is clear. Due to epicantho plasty bulging skin at her inner corner eye is now flat and natural.

In this case, the double eyelid line before surgery looked like it was out folder style but actually it just appeared to be one because inner corner was covered by Mongolian fold.

Usually, in-out line or outline is represented with some adequate improvement of Mongolian fold by epicanthoplasty.

In other words, the size of the double eyelid line or curve stays the same, but as the inner corner gets longer, the starting point of double eyelid line meets the starting point of the eyes and the in-out line is represented.

Many people often think that double eye lid surgery revision should be operated when one is not satisfied with somewhat awkward out line double eyelid. If the awkwardness is severe and needs ptosis correction is also required , the revision with epicanthoplasty may be necessary. However, partial double eyelid correction and magic epicanthoplasty cas be enough to make more natural and beautiful eyes.
Usually people with severe Mongolian fold should go under combined surgery which includeds epicanthoplasty and double eyelid surgery to change the structure of their eyes to make relatively high lined out- line double eyelid.
