Epicanthoplasty & Canthoplasty
Attention to every millimeter,
Tailored Epicanthoplasty & Canthoplasty with a Natural Flow
Even a small difference at the inner or outer corner of the eye can change how your eyes look and the impression you give.
At Humanity, our epicanthoplasty and canthoplasty
take your eye proportions and structure into account to design open, defined eyes that flow naturally into your eyelid crease.
Why Choose Humanity for Epicanthoplasty & Canthoplasty
Point 1
A More Open, Defined Eye Shape
We consider the length and direction of your eyes down to the single millimeter you need, turning closed-in eyes into eyes that look open and balanced.

Point 2
Technique Chosen for Your Eye Proportions
Depending on your eye structure and the look you want, we can plan epicanthoplasty, lateral canthoplasty, or lower eyelid lowering on its own, or combine them (combined canthoplasty).

Tailored to Your Eye Shape
Eye Corner Designs

Epicanthoplasty (Inner Corner)
A natural opening for a closed-in inner corner
We correct the inner corner based on the shape and degree of the epicanthal fold, creating an eye shape that flows naturally into the eyelid crease.

Lateral Canthoplasty (Outer Corner)
A clearer, more open look for short eyes
Taking into account the space and structure beyond the outer corner, we naturally adjust the horizontal length and outer contour of the eye.

Lower Eyelid Lowering
Softening upturned outer corners
We adjust the position and direction of the outer part of the lower eyelid for a softer eye shape.

Who Is a Good Candidate?
· People whose inner eye corners look closed-in because of an epicanthal fold
· People whose eyes look short from side to side
· People whose eyes still look closed-in even with a double eyelid
· People whose upturned outer corners give a sharp impression
· People who want open, clearly defined eyes
Procedure Steps
Detailed Assessment of Eye Proportions and Corner Structure
We plan the surgical approach after a comprehensive assessment of your eyes' horizontal and vertical proportions, the epicanthal fold, the structure of the inner and outer corners, and the surrounding tissue.
Custom Design for Your Eye Structure
Based on your eye shape and the look you want, we decide which areas need surgery (inner corner, outer corner, or lower eyelid) and how much correction is needed.
Precise Correction Only Where Needed
We carefully correct only what is needed, matched to your eye structure and tissue condition, to naturally improve the length and direction of your eyes.
Follow-Up and Recovery Care
After surgery, we closely check how your eye shape has changed and how the surgical site is healing, and tailor your recovery care to your progress.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Does everyone with an epicanthal fold need epicanthoplasty?
- No. We look at the distance between your eyes and the shape of your inner corners, and perform it when a closed-in look needs improvement.
Q. What does combining lateral canthoplasty with lower eyelid lowering do?
- Lateral canthoplasty adjusts the horizontal length of the eye, and lower eyelid lowering adjusts the direction of the outer corner, for a more open and softer eye shape.
Q. Can the opened corners close up again after surgery?
- Some adhesion or change in shape may occur during recovery. That is why it is important to plan surgery with your eye structure and the likelihood of adhesion in mind.
