Will the horizontal length of the eyes increase if double eyelid surgery and lateral epicanthoplasty are done together?

 Will the horizontal length of the eyes increase 

if double eyelid surgery and lateral epicanthoplasty 

are done together?




The eyes are a feature that can greatly alter the atmosphere or impression with just a small change. This is probably because the horizontal or vertical length of the eyes can make a difference of just 1mm, making them appear small and stuffy, or cool and clear. Therefore, as the demand for double eyelid surgery increases, the interest in epicanthoplasty, which can increase the width of the eyes and make them appear clearer, is also gradually increasing.




Epicanthoplasty, literally a surgery that opens up narrow and stuffy eyes, is usually divided into Medial Epicanthoplasty, Lateral Epicanthoplasty, Upper Epicanthoplasty, and Lower Epicanthoplasty. This Epicanthoplasty is often performed in conjunction with Double Eyelid Surgery when the desired eye size or stuffy eye shape cannot be improved with Double Eyelid Surgery alone, to create an eye shape that fits the needs. Among them, there are those who are curious if the horizontal length of the eyes can be improved by performing Double Eyelid Surgery and Lateral Epicanthoplasty together if they have an eye shape that looks stuffy due to the short horizontal length of the eyes.


To conclude, if you undergo Double Eyelid Surgery and Lateral Epicanthoplasty together, you can achieve the effect of the eyes looking refreshed by creating a double eyelid line and opening up the horizontal length of the eyes, so that the back edge of the eyes widens vertically. Additionally, it has the effect of lowering the corners of the eyes, so it can be improved to give a soft impression like a puppy. Furthermore, by combining Double Eyelid Surgery and Lateral Epicanthoplasty, you can expect the effect of making the stuffy eye shape look refreshed by creating a line in the previously bland eyes, making the eye shape look clear, and opening up the back of the eyes. Undergoing Double Eyelid Surgery and Lateral Epicanthoplasty together can be an effective method for eyes that look stuffy due to short eye length or eyes where the outer corners are excessively lifted or, conversely, look droopy.


Double Eyelid Surgery can generally be divided into incisional or non-incisional methods. Depending on each individual's eye characteristics, structure, and the thickness of their eyelids, the double eyelid line can be created using either incisional or non-incisional methods. 




For example, if the eyelid is not thick, not much fat, and the skin sagging is minimal, the Double Eyelid Surgery can be performed by the non-incisional method, and by making an incision in the inner conjunctiva of the outer corner of the eye through Lateral Epicanthoplasty, it is possible to create a refreshing eye shape by widening the eye's width proportionately.




 


On the other hand, if the eyelid is thick and there is a lot of fat, and the skin sagging is severe, a line can be made on the dull upper eyelid through incision or partial incision method, making the eyes look larger overall. By lowering the sharp-looking outer corner of the eyes through Lateral Epicanthoplasty and extending the horizontal length, it can create a cool and clear eye shape.




In the case of Lateral Epicanthoplasty, a small V-shaped incision is made along the boundary of the eye end shape, so that the entire outer corner of the eye can move and expand to the desired shape or length. The internal tissues should be well separated, rearranged, and then fixed and reconnected. As careless eye end widening or "pinched" deformity side effects can occur, Lateral Epicanthoplasty should be performed naturally while preserving the V-angle of the eye tail shape to prevent recurrence.


Excessive Epicanthoplasty can cause eye shape deformities, so it is desirable to have a detailed consultation with medical staff and rich anatomical knowledge about the eyes to graft a design that suits each individual and to produce the eye shape you want.




The eyes are areas where a small change can make a big difference in impression, so it's a way to get the results you want by comparing comprehensively and carefully checking reviews and before and after photos, and then making a careful and wise choice. No matter how much you coolly open the horizontal length of the suffocating eyes with Double Eyelid Surgery and Lateral Epicanthoplasty, the results after surgery may vary depending on the current individual's eye condition, eyelid thickness, and facial harmony, so it is necessary to proceed considering various directions. 




Therefore, for satisfactory changes, it is necessary to carefully check whether the operation is conducted under a real-name system, whether an anesthesiology medical team is resident, whether a CCTV is installed in the operating room, and whether post-operative care is meticulously carried out. 


And remember, it is the way to anticipate a good prognosis by making a decision with a careful choice and proceeding with it.
