About this procedure

If your eyes appear shorter or less defined due to prominent inner eye folds, Inner Canthoplasty can help create a brighter, more open-eyed appearance. This procedure gently reduces the inner fold of skin covering the inner corners of the eyes, making the eyes appear larger, longer, and more balanced. Often combined with double eyelid surgery, it enhances eye definition while maintaining a natural look, helping you achieve a more refined and attractive eye shape.
