Epicanthoplasty is a cosmetic surgery performed to correct epicanthal folds, which are excess folds of skin near the inner corners of the eyes. This procedure is often performed for aesthetic reasons to create a more open or larger eye appearance or to improve vision for individuals whose folds obstruct their peripheral vision.

During the procedure, a small section of skin is removed or reshaped near the inner eye corner. The surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia and can be done in conjunction with other eyelid surgeries.

Epicanthoplasty can provide a more youthful and refreshed appearance and improve both aesthetics and vision in some patients with prominent epicanthal folds.
