Epicanthoplasty in Iran

Treatment and travel coordination with Medisa Medtour

Epicanthoplasty changes the skin fold at the inner eyelid corner. It can alter appearance but does not enlarge the eyeball or improve visual power.

Practical information for planning

Method and treatment duration

The doctor determines the method and duration after examination, review of your records and assessment of the extent of treatment.

Admission and discharge

The need for admission and timing of discharge depend on the method, anaesthesia and your general health. Obtain a plan from the medical centre before travelling.

Initial care and recovery

Allow time for rest, care of the treated area and help after discharge. You will receive instructions specific to the procedure.

Visits and follow-up

Arrange the next examination and, when necessary, removal of sutures or dressings with the clinical team. Your return journey should fit this plan.

Return to activity

Work, exercise and travel depend on healing and medical clearance; there is no single timetable for everyone.

About Epicanthoplasty

Epicanthoplasty modifies or rearranges the inner-corner skin fold for a cosmetic goal or selected reconstructive need. Suitability and the extent of change depend on eyelid and facial anatomy. The eyeball is not enlarged; scarring, asymmetry or dissatisfaction are possible.

When epicanthoplasty may be considered

Assessment may be appropriate when the inner eyelid fold affects the desired appearance or for selected reconstruction. Outer-corner surgery, brow lifting and crow’s-feet treatment are different procedures requiring separate decisions.

Preparation and aftercare

Before treatment

  • Review eye and eyelid health, dry eye, illnesses and previous surgery. Images and tests are requested when needed.
  • Declare all medicines and supplements. Changes to medicines affecting bleeding require medical agreement.
  • Obtain smoking, alcohol, fasting if required, contact-lens and makeup instructions.
  • Discuss scarring, realistic change and limitations of revision surgery.

After treatment

  • Use drops, ointment or antibiotics only if prescribed.
  • Avoid pressure on the wound. Covered cold compresses, head position and sun protection follow surgical instructions.
  • Makeup, contact lenses, washing, strenuous activity and reviews depend on healing.
  • Reduced vision, severe pain, rapidly increasing swelling or discharge need urgent assessment.

Recovery and follow-up

Healing and activity

Initial swelling, bruising or irritation may lessen over days to weeks. The surgeon sets work, exercise and suture-removal timing. Results and scars are better assessed over subsequent months.

Frequently asked questions

Is the surgery painful?

Appropriate anaesthesia reduces pain during surgery. Postoperative discomfort is managed with prescribed treatment. Severe or increasing pain needs assessment.

How effective is epicanthoplasty?

Change depends on eyelid structure, the fold and individual goals. Inner-corner appearance may improve, but complete success, absolute symmetry or eyeball enlargement cannot be guaranteed.

Can it be reversed?

Revision may be considered in some cases, but complete restoration of the previous shape is not guaranteed. Scarring and tissue limitations may affect it. Discuss this before surgery.

Is it the same as canthoplasty or blepharoplasty?

Epicanthoplasty targets the inner fold. Canthoplasty usually concerns the outer corner, and blepharoplasty eyelid skin and tissue. Combining them requires a separate need and assessment.

What care matters before and after?

Declare medicines and illnesses, attend without makeup or contact lenses and follow wound and medication instructions. Avoid eye pressure and obtain advice on makeup, sport and review timing.
