Q. Can epicanthoplasty restoration change the eyelid fold? For example, from in-out to in-line?
Dr. Young-moon Yoo explains how epicanthoplasty restoration recreates the Mongolian fold, potentially changing eyelid shapes from in-out or out-fold to in-line.

Hello!
I have prepared a brief session to explain a topic that many of you might be curious about. ^^
Q) Can epicanthoplasty restoration change the eyelid fold?
A) Hello, I am Young-moon Yoo, the representative director of VIBE Plastic Surgery, here for your 1-minute plastic surgery guide.
Today, the question is: ‘Can epicanthoplasty restoration change the eyelid fold? For example, from in-out to in-line?’ The answer is yes. When epicanthoplasty restoration is performed, the Mongolian fold is recreated. Consequently, a line that was visible at the front, such as an in-out line, becomes covered and turns into an in-line. In cases where the starting point is detached, like an out-fold, it can change into an in-out or in-line fold. Therefore, it is wise to carefully examine whether the expected shape after epicanthoplasty restoration matches your desired look before deciding on the surgery.
