The answer is RINE’s 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.

Procedure Candidates
Who is Epicanthoplasty Recommended For?
RINE 45° Front/Upper Epicanthoplasty is recommended for the following people:
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.
Design
We measure the degree of the epicanthal fold, the distance between the eyes, and the exposure of the lacrimal caruncle (inner corner of the eye), then determine the direction of the epicanthoplasty based on the individual eye shape.
Removal of the epicanthal fold
A precise incision is made and the fold is carefully removed while maintaining harmony with the overall eye shape.
Skin repositioning
The incised skin is naturally repositioned to create the desired eye shape.
Final result
Carefully sutured to complete a refined, clear, and refreshed eye shape.
Results of 45° front/upper epicanthoplasty
The front part of the double eyelid line is opened up for a clearer, more defined, and softer impression.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is epicanthoplasty here, and what kind of change can I expect?
It is a 45-degree front and upper epicanthoplasty designed to create a more open, clearer, and brighter eye shape. It aims to improve both the length and height of the eyes for a refreshed and more defined look.
How is the 45-degree method different from doing only front or only upper epicanthoplasty?
Instead of opening the eyes only horizontally or only vertically, this method combines both directions at a 45-degree angle. That helps improve the epicanthal fold while also extending the horizontal eye length for a more natural, diagonally opened appearance.
Can I combine this with double eyelid surgery?
Yes. It is described as working especially well when performed together with double eyelid surgery, and it can help reveal the front part of the double eyelid line more clearly.
How long does the surgery take, and what is the recovery like?
The procedure takes less than 30 minutes. Suture removal is after 7 days, recovery is about 7 days, and the follow-up visit is listed as 1 session.
What kind of anesthesia is used?
Sedation and local anesthesia are used.
Who is this procedure usually recommended for?
It is recommended for people whose inner eye corners look dull or cramped, whose eyes are set wide apart, whose horizontal eye length is short, who have an epicanthal fold, whose inner eye corner is barely visible, or whose double eyelid line is hidden.
How is the procedure done step by step?
First, the eye shape is analyzed by measuring the epicanthal fold, the distance between the eyes, and the exposure of the inner corner. Next, a precise incision is made to remove the fold, then the skin is repositioned naturally, and finally the area is sutured to complete a refined and clearer eye shape.
Will this make my eyes look too close together?
The correction is planned by analyzing each person’s eye structure, including the degree and direction of correction. The goal is to create a more open and refreshed look without making the eyes appear closer together.
Will there be noticeable scars?
Scars may be slightly visible for the first 1 to 2 months. As they stabilize over about 6 months to 1 year, they typically become much less noticeable and are often barely visible.
What results is this procedure meant to improve?
It is meant to create a clearer and more open eye shape, reduce a dull or heavy impression by correcting the epicanthal fold, make the front part of the double eyelid line more visible, and improve the balance of eye spacing and overall facial proportions.
