Medial Epicanthoplasty (Double Eyelid Surgery)
Overview
What is Medial Epicanthoplasty?
Medial epicanthoplasty or double eyelid surgery is a safe procedure that enhances eye aesthetics by addressing the medial epicanthal fold. This skin fold in the inner corner of the eye contributes to a narrowed appearance of the eyes.
During medial epicanthoplasty, Dr Andrew Cheah will move this fold to the upper eyelids to open the eye horizontally. This eye-enhancing procedure refines the appearance of the eyes, creating a more open and pleasing look.
