Overview
Dual Canthoplasty is the best procedure if you want to receive the epicanthoplasty and lateral canthoplasty procedures together. This will improve both the tail of the eyes and the inner corners of the eyes. The doctor will make small incisions and remove the mongolian fold, which is the skin that covers the inner corner of the eyes, as well as make small incisions at the outside corner of the eyes. This way, your eyes will look much bigger. It will make you look more awake, and will balance the eyes.
