Unforgettable eyes at first glance! Even the double eyelid line you want, all at once
Epicanthoplasty at NANA Plastic Surgery
NANA Plastic Surgery's epicanthoplasty is designed after diagnosing each individual's eye shape and epicanthal fold. Removing the epicanthal fold not only improves eyes that look narrow, but with our extensive experience in in-line, out-line, and in-out-line eye surgery and NANA's specialized surgical method, we create dimensional, open-looking eyes.
NANA epicanthoplasty that removes the epicanthal fold
The epicanthal fold is a fold of eyelid skin that covers the inner corner of the eye; it slopes from the upper outer side to the lower inner side of the inner corner, and is one of the reasons the inner corners look sharp. Removing the epicanthal fold can transform eyes that look far apart and narrow into the eye shape you want.
Epicanthoplasty surgical method at NANA Plastic Surgery
Through a skin incision, loose skin, muscle, fat, and connective tissue can be removed as needed, allowing a more definite double eyelid line to form.

Q & A answered by NANA Plastic Surgery
Should I have epicanthoplasty together with double eyelid surgery?
It is not essential to have epicanthoplasty or other canthoplasty at the same time.
However, many people do have canthoplasty such as epicanthoplasty or lateral
canthoplasty together with double eyelid surgery when it is needed.
Because the front shape of the double eyelid line can change depending on
the epicanthoplasty, we recommend having epicanthoplasty together with double eyelid surgery.

NANA's guide to
precautions after eye surgery
01
Washing, showering & makeup
Washing your hair and showering are possible from the day after surgery, but be careful not to let water touch the wound.Please be careful, as straining your eyes may cause pooled blood to come out. Eye makeup and contact lenses are possible after 4 weeks. To prevent the double eyelid from loosening or changing shape, avoid eye makeup for one month, and contact lenses, which can irritate the conjunctiva, can be worn after one month.
02
Recovery
Conjunctival swelling or redness may occur after surgery.Conjunctival swelling (the conjunctiva appears white and swollen) or redness may occur after surgery. These symptoms resolve naturally within 2–4 weeks and are common after surgery, so there is no need to worry. A temporary increase in tearing or eye discharge is also a common reaction after surgery and improves over time.
03
Swelling care
Swelling subsides over 3–6 months after surgery.It is normal for swelling to appear asymmetrical, as the two sides may swell or subside differently. Any visible asymmetry from swelling improves over time until the swelling has fully subsided.
Apply warm/cold compresses at the appropriate times after surgery.Cold compresses are recommended for the first 3 days after surgery while the face is swollen. They help prevent bleeding and reduce swelling. From day 4 after surgery, warm compresses are recommended for effective management of swelling and bruising.
04
Wound care
Care for the area with eye ointment and eye drops.Apply a thin layer of eye ointment to the surgical site morning and evening using a clean cotton swab. If you were prescribed eye drops, apply them to the conjunctiva 2–3 times a day. Small white milia the size of millet grains may form along the incision line after surgery, but they disappear naturally over time. However, if they have not disappeared after 3 months, they can be simply removed at the clinic depending on their condition.
05
Alcohol & smoking
Refrain from drinking alcohol and smoking for 1 month after surgery.Alcohol and smoking adversely affect bleeding, wound healing, and infection, so we recommend avoiding them for 1 month after surgery.
06
Sleeping position
Please check the recommended sleeping positions for 3 months after surgery.For the first week after surgery, avoid bending your neck while sleeping and keep your upper body elevated so your head is higher than your heart, which helps swelling subside faster. Also, do not sleep on your side or on your stomach; sleep facing the ceiling.
