Epicanthoplasty is a type of eye surgery to reduce appearance of epicanthal folds. It is considered to be a challenging procedure by some surgeons because the epicanthal folds overlay the lacrimal canaliculi [1]. Epicanthoplasty is seldom carried out, as removal or reduction of the epicanthal fold is not widely seen as particularly beneficial for practical or cosmetic reasons[citation needed] A much more common surgery is an asian blepharoplasty which involves the creation of a crease in the upper eyelid.
