Example) The lines after non-incisional surgery only results in in-folder type eyes(above).
After Magic epicanthoplasty and double eyelid surgery (buried suture method),
it shows symmetrical in-out folder double eyelids.

example) Combination of Magic epicanthoplasty and revisional double eyelid srgery.

If an out-folder line is created without improving the Mongolian fold, the double eyelid line will
look awkward and incomplete.

The lines like the above seem very unnatural. A line created by the double eyelid surgery provides a clear and natural appearance on proper physical conditions, while providing unnatural appearance on the poor conditions such as co-existing severe Mongolian fold. When Mongolian folds are severe and the actual eyeline is covered by the eyelid skin,the structural double eyelid surgery including proper surgical technique should be performed to create beautiful and admirable eyes.

Example) This case shows the negative effect of Mogolian folds in the eyes
with out-folder double eyelids. There is no continuation of line up to the medial corner of the eye(above).

Magic epicanthoplasty and revisional double eyelid surgery refined the images of eye in manner of natural and distinctive appearance(below).

How and why has epicanthoplasty become a universal trend ?

Seven years ago (2004), only a few patients knew about the epicanthoplasty
. During consultations on double eyelid surgeries, it took a long time for us to explain and make the patients understand about the necessity, effectiveness, and usefulness of the Magic epicanthoplasty
and the important relationship between the double eyelids with the Mongolian folds.

Until now, most people are regarding epicanthoplasy as a kind of meagerly effective surgery for just the lengthening of eyes by cutting a little amount of skin of the epicanthal area, similar to the lateral canthoplasty. These thoughts might have been delivered from the results and the opinions of previously existing surgical methods.

Furthermore, there have been many physicians performing those surgeries as if they were a long-established tradition. Reasons for being negative about epicanthoplasty are still a matter of issue due to conventional surgical methods.

Mongolian folds are categorized into four types according to its severity. When one has a severe type of Mongolian fold, the larger the surgical line and the more unnatural the results become.

Also, if someone cares about the surgical scar too much, one occasionally tends to complain. That is, when people takes surgery by an already existing method, a scar may be visible and many of them try to avoid minimize or fix it.

Although the recognition about epicanthoplasty has changed positively by the new Magic epicanthoplasty, epicanthoplasty was in out of interest for plastic surgeons.
As an alternative, people tried to undergo plastic surgery on their nose to change the distance between their eyes because they thought this would make a difference.

However, they eventually found out that there was no solution for that because the Mongolian fold was the sole reason for the problem.

Plastic surgery on the nose will only make an optical illusion and seem as if the intercanthal distance is narrowed, when it really doesn’t make any difference.
