Eyes are the windows of the soul. A long time ago, Chinese ancients had the saying "eyes are the sun and moon of the body, the essence of five internal organs". If you have a pair of beautiful eyes with pupils like autumn water, it can naturally attract others' attention. That's why double eyelid surgery is so popular among women who love beauty. Do you know? Double eyelid surgery has better effects when combined with inner corner opening surgery. Double eyelid surgery mainly increases the distance between upper and lower eyelids, while the surgery for epicanthus can make the eyes bigger. However, people know little about the inner corner opening surgery. Opening the corners of the eyes adds to the beauty of double eyelids.
When women who want double eyelid surgery consult in the hospital, plastic surgeons usually kindly remind them that double eyelid surgery and inner corner opening surgery should be done together for better results. Some people cannot understand this: isn't double eyelid surgery enough if you want beautiful eyes?
80% of Chinese people have epicanthus phenomenon. Epicanthus is also called "Mongolian fold". It usually manifests as an extra skin fold connecting the upper and lower eyelids at the inner corner of the eye. Since it covers part of the vision, reduces the length of the palpebral fissure, and makes the eyes look small, it loses its beauty.
Deputy Chief Physician Wang Guoyi of the Plastic Surgery and Beauty Hospital introduced that double eyelid surgery combined with inner corner opening surgery has better effects. Double eyelid surgery mainly increases the distance between the upper and lower eyelids, while the surgery for epicanthus can make the eyes bigger. The two surgeries performed simultaneously will add more charm to the eyes.
Selecting a plan tailored to the double eyelids
Doctor Li Meng, an expert in beautiful eyes from Chengdu Zhonghuayuan Plastic Surgery and Beauty Hospital, once said that beautiful eyes should not just be a simple curve. To have eyes that shine and are lively and spirited, a suitable plan for beautiful eyes should be formulated according to the actual situation of the beautification seeker.
He introduced that generally, opening the corner of the eye surgery is performed simultaneously with double eyelid surgery. In mild cases, the redundant skin can be directly cut and the skin incision sutured; in more severe cases, the "Z" shape correction method is adopted. When treating complex types of epicanthus, it depends on the severity of the local deformity.
The incision for opening the corner of the eye surgery is very small, and the scar is almost invisible. The surgery takes about ten minutes to complete. Inner corner surgery requires a longer recovery period. Correcting epicanthus can increase the length of the eyes by 1-3 millimeters, effectively increasing the length of the human eye and adding luster to the eyes.
TIPS
Classification of epicanthus
There are more than ten types of surgical procedures for opening the inner corner of the eye, and different types of epicanthus require different surgical methods.
1. Mild epicanthus:
Narrow redundant skin, width is 1.0-1.5mm, the fold covers less than 1/2 of the tear阜.
2. Moderate epicanthus:
Width of the redundant skin is 1.5-2.5mm, the fold covers 1/2-2/3 of the tear阜.
3. Severe epicanthus:
Width of the redundant skin exceeds 2.5mm, most or all of the tear阜is covered.
4. Upper eyelid type epicanthus:
The redundant skin starts above the upper eyelid tarsal area, extends downward through the inner corner to fuse with the nasal alar folds.
5. Tarsal type epicanthus:
The redundant skin starts from the upper eyelid tarsal area fold, extends downward to gradually disappear at the inner corner.
6. Inverted type epicanthus:
The redundant skin starts from the lower eyelid, passes through the inner corner and extends upward to the upper eyelid. This type affects the upper eyelid relatively less. Most Chinese people have the upper eyelid type, followed by the tarsal type, and the lower eyelid type is rare.
