Gangnam epicanthoplasty: improving epicanthal folds and ways to reduce side effects
Hello, this is Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery. The eyes are one of the most important facial features and have a major impact on a person’s first impression. In particular, clear and well-defined eyes are an aesthetic standard many people prefer. However, many people feel less confident because their eyes look small or their eye shape appears closed off. One way to address these concerns is Gangnam epicanthoplasty. In this post, we will take a closer look at the advantages of this surgery and the surgical process.
There are many reasons why the eyes may look small or closed off, but one of the main causes is the epicanthal fold. An epicanthal fold is a skin fold located at the inner corner of the eye and is a feature commonly seen in East Asians. When this fold excessively covers the medial canthus, the eyes can appear far apart and the eye shape may feel stuffy or closed. To resolve this issue, many people consider Gangnam epicanthoplasty.
This surgery improves the epicanthal fold at the front of the eye and makes the horizontal width of the eyes appear longer. It can create a cooler, wider-eyed impression, which is why many people prefer it. The procedure takes about 30 minutes and tends to be relatively simple. After surgery, you can return home the same day after basic care, and you will visit the clinic again in about 4 to 5 days to have the stitches removed.
The greatest advantage of Gangnam epicanthoplasty is that it aims for a natural and clearly defined eye shape. By opening the inner corners of the eyes through surgery, a change in which the eyes look larger and the overall impression brighter can be expected, though the degree of change varies by person. In addition, correction can extend to the outer eye corners, aiming to naturally refine eye tails that are overly upturned or drooping. After surgery, how visible the incision line is varies by person, and redness around the eyes often fades gradually over time. Recovery from this procedure also tends to be relatively quick, but the recovery period differs from person to person, and your schedule can be planned together at a consultation.
When considering this surgery, concerns about side effects may also arise. In particular, the skin at the inner corner of the eye reattaching, known as recurrence, can be an issue for some people. To prevent this, precise diagnosis and surgery are necessary. At our clinic, we minimize side effects through a thorough preoperative diagnosis and incise and reposition only the necessary areas to prevent the skin from returning to its original state.
Gangnam epicanthoplasty should be performed with a design tailored to each person’s facial proportions and eye shape. At our clinic, we provide thorough consultations before surgery and create a natural, harmonious design that considers each patient’s unique eye shape. We also watch closely over the recovery process after surgery and manage the progress together with each patient.
This surgery is not simply a procedure to make the eyes larger; it is an important surgery that creates a natural change while considering overall facial proportions and harmony. The recovery period tends to be relatively short, but the speed of recovery differs from person to person. Most importantly, delicate technique from a specialist and a customized design can complete a natural and beautiful eye shape.
At our clinic, we offer a variety of plastic surgery procedures, including Gangnam epicanthoplasty, and provide customized service that considers each patient’s individual characteristics throughout every step.
