The Benefits of Inner Corner Surgery

Inner corner surgery involves carefully releasing the excess skin that covers the medial aspect of the eye. This directly addresses the issue of a "closed" inner corner, widening the eyes horizontally to create a noticeably brighter and more vibrant appearance.

Who Is an Ideal Candidate?

Combining double eyelid surgery with an inner corner release is perfect for individuals with smaller eyes or prominent epicanthal folds. It is highly recommended for those looking to achieve a longer, more elegantly tapered, and beautifully proportioned eye shape.

Important Considerations: It is crucial to understand that epicanthoplasty is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Over-releasing the inner corner or creating an eyelid crease that sits too high for your natural bone structure can result in a harsh, artificial, or "staring" look. Careful, individualized assessment by your surgeon is essential to ensure the results remain soft and entirely natural.
