Magic Medial•Upper Epicanthoplasty
iWELL has refined the previous method of medial epicanthoplasty where scarring is common.Magic Medial
Epicanthoplasty makes an incision in the inner corners of the eyes and sutures the conjunctiva to minimize
scarring. This method utilizes an incision in the "epicanthic" or "Mongolian" fold of the inner corner to increase
the width of the eyes, therefore, naturally enlarging the length. Upper epicanthoplasty is effective for the
presence of epicanthic folds, where there is little space between the eyes, severe cases of hooded skin,
narrow and sharp eyes, as it raises the hooded skin of the inner corners by 45 degrees.

What is a "Mongolian" fold?
Approximately 70% of all Koreans have a Mongolian fold.
"A Mongolian fold refers to a fold in the lower and inner corner of the eye.
he key to double eyelids is the Mongolian fold. Ideally, the length
of one's eyes equals the length of the glabella. In the case of Korean women,
the glabella is wider due to the Mongolian fold.
In the presence
of a Mongolian fold?
The fold gives off a stifling impression as the glabella appears wider.
Double eyelid surgery will not have optimal results as the inner corners will be
hooded and curl inwards. This will have a tendency to make the eyes look unnatural.
Eyes will appear more alert and the length of the eyes will appear shorter.
