What is Epicanthoplasty?

Epicanthoplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at enhancing the appearance of the eyes by adjusting the inner corner, known as the epicanthal fold. This fold is frequently present in individuals of Asian descent and can sometimes give the eyes a narrower appearance. Epicanthoplasty softens or eliminates this fold, creating a more open and balanced look. Dr. Eric Li serves the communities of San Jose, Los Gatos, and the Bay The area specializes in this procedure, offering patients a chance to achieve their desired aesthetic goals with precision and expertise.

What is Lateral Canthoplasty?
