As an Oriental, most people have the characteristics of epicanthal fold, and when some people do double eyelids, doctors will recommend doing an epicanthal fold correction at the same time, that is, opening the inner corner of the eye surgery.
Why, just to look good?
Of course, the purpose of most people to do epicanthal fold correction surgery is really to make the eyes look better.
Different degrees, different types of epicanthal folds, the effect on eye morphology is very different.
Some people have obvious epicanthal folds and poor morphology, which will make the eyes look shorter and smaller, and the double eyelids will be less obvious; and those eyes that do not have or are not obvious for the epicanthal fold are usually larger, and the double eyelids are wider and more obvious.

One criterion for our facial aesthetic is three courts and five eyes, that is to say, the distance between the medial canthus is the width of an eye, while the medial canthal spacing of some eyes with epicanthal folds is often exceeded, and the medial canthal spacing is too wide to appear to be relatively flat in the middle face.
(Of course, there are also people who like such characteristics and feel that personality is recognizable, such as the commonly known "catfish face", and aesthetic differences are very normal.) ）
Opening the inner corner of the eye can effectively improve the problems mentioned above. Therefore, when doing double eyelids, these needs are usually recommended to carry out epicanthal fold correction at the same time, so double eyelid surgery and open eye corner surgery are called "golden partners".

Of course, you can also choose not to open the inner corner of the eye, unless it affects the function of the eye.
Severe epicanthal folds can affect the function of the eye, especially the small eyelid fissure deformity, the reverse type of epicanthal fold is one of its main features, and the small canthal fold deformity will affect the function of the eye, such as visual field, vision.
Therefore, such eyes do epicanthal folding correction, more mainly to consider the problem of eye function, and not just for aesthetics.
However, the correction of epicanthal folds should not be excessively large, so that the tears are overexposed, the eye distance is too close, it is easy to leave scars, and it does not look natural, but it must be repaired.
Therefore, we should also be cautious about opening the inner corner of the eye, not over-opening and adjusting the skin form, some people will have some retractions in the inner corner of the eye, but the overall look is better and natural.
