What Is Epicanthoplasty?
Epicanthoplasty is a surgical procedure that modifies the epicanthal fold, a skin fold located at the inner corner of the eye. By carefully adjusting this area, the procedure can reveal more of the inner eye and create a smoother transition between the eyes and nose. The technique is selected based on the patient's natural eye structure and desired outcome.

Refining the Inner Eye Corner for More Open and Balanced Eyes at T&T Plastic Surgery Seomyeon
The inner corner of the eyes plays an important role in overall eye shape and facial balance. For patients with a prominent epicanthal fold that covers part of the inner eye area, Epicanthoplasty is an eye contouring procedure designed to refine the inner corner and create a more open, balanced, and naturally defined eye appearance.
At T&T Plastic Surgery Seomyeon, each epicanthoplasty procedure is customized according to eye shape, eyelid structure, facial proportions, and individual aesthetic goals. The clinic focuses on subtle inner corner refinement that enhances eye harmony while preserving natural-looking results for both local and international patients.
Is it right for you?
Who Is a Good Candidate for Epicanthoplasty?
During consultation, the surgeon evaluates inner corner anatomy, eye spacing, eyelid condition, and facial proportions to determine whether epicanthoplasty is appropriate.
- A noticeable epicanthal fold
- Short-looking horizontal eye length
- Eyes that appear close together due to inner corner coverage
- Uneven inner eye shape
- Desire for more defined eye contours
- Need for additional refinement with double eyelid surgery

How it works
How Is Epicanthoplasty Performed?
During Epicanthoplasty, a carefully planned incision is made around the inner corner of the eye. The surgeon adjusts the epicanthal fold and reshapes the inner corner while minimizing tension and visible scarring.
The amount of correction is customized to avoid an overly exposed or unnatural appearance.
- Reducing excess inner corner skin coverage
- Improving inner eye visibility
- Creating a smoother eye contour
- Maintaining natural eye expression
- Enhancing overall eye proportions
