RINE’s Signature Procedure

45° Front + Upper Epicanthoplasty

RINE Plastic Surgery’s signature 45-degree front and upper epicanthoplasty improves both the length and height of the eyes simultaneously, overcoming the limitations of conventional front and upper epicanthoplasty techniques.

Why choose RINE 45° Front + Upper Epicanthoplasty?

Why Get Multiple? The answer is 45°! RINE 45° Front + Upper Epicanthoplasty

#45DegreeEpicanthoplasty #OpenLook

Rather than opening the eyes only horizontally (front) or vertically (upward), this procedure combines both at a 45-degree angle, creating a natural, diagonally opened eye shape for a brighter and more defined look.

How Do Canthoplasty Methods Compare?

RINE’s 45° front/upper epicanthoplasty combines both front and upper epicanthoplasty techniques, expanding the inner corner of the eye diagonally. This approach overcomes the limitations of each method, creating a more natural, open, and refreshed eye shape.

Front Epicanthoplasty

The inner corner of the eye may appear rounded, and excess sagging skin above can remain, making the eyes look less open or somewhat heavy.

Upper Epicanthoplasty

The horizontal length of the eyes is not extended, and the epicanthal fold is not improved.

RINE 45° Front/Upper Epicanthoplasty

Expands the inner corner of the eye diagonally, improving both the epicanthal fold and the horizontal eye length at the same time.

45° Front/Upper Epicanthoplasty Method

Front and upper epicanthoplasty is a procedure that increases both the horizontal and vertical length of the eyes while improving the epicanthal fold, creating a more open and natural-looking eye shape. It helps reveal the front part of the double eyelid line more clearly, enhancing the eyes with a defined yet soft impression. In addition, it balances the distance between the eyes, improving overall facial proportions for a more harmonious look.

Q&A

Epicanthoplasty

Frequently asked questions

RINE’s 45° front/upper epicanthoplasty carefully analyzes each individual’s eye structure in detail to determine the appropriate degree and direction of correction. This ensures that the eyes do not appear closer together, while still creating a more open and refreshed look.

For the first 1–2 months, the epicanthoplasty incision scars may be slightly visible. However, as they stabilize over 6 months to 1 year, the scars typically become much less noticeable and are often barely visible.
