Is the allure of double eyelid surgery really that compelling? Two captivating beauties inadvertently caught in rumors about "eyelid surgery" demonstrate the charm of large eyes:
Yang Mi
Indeed, even without plastic surgery rumors, Yang Mi belongs to the category of large-eyed beauties. Now, besides her facial contours appearing smaller, her eye corners have undergone a noticeable transformation—a change that cannot be achieved through makeup alone.Experts suggest Yang's eye transformation may not stem from a dedicated canthoplasty procedure. It could result from secondary adjustments to her eye shape during double eyelid surgery, combined with the tension from her rhinoplasty, ultimately making her eye corners more pronounced than before.

Compared to her early career's small, round eyes, Bingbing's captivating gaze has grown increasingly elongated. Her outer corners now feature a distinct triangular point, with the pink tear troughs prominently exposed—creating an ever-teary look that mesmerizes fans. This transformation is largely attributed to epicanthoplasty.
Regardless of whether these celebrities have undergone canthoplasty, one undeniable fact is that well-defined, large eyes significantly enhance one's appearance. If you have small eyes and are tempted, consider canthoplasty.So what exactly is an epicanthoplasty?
Under normal circumstances, the pink lacrimal papilla is visible to the naked eye. However, when excess skin accumulates at the inner corner of the eye, it obscures the papilla, making the eyes appear smaller.Simply put, epicanthoplasty (typically performed on the inner canthus) involves designing an appropriate incision at the inner corner of the eye. Excess skin folds are excised, and the incision is sutured along the dotted line shown in the diagram. This shifts the inner canthus toward the nose, revealing the hidden pink lacrimal papilla and effectively elongating the orbital rim.
Many Asians have excess skin at the inner canthus. Surgery to "open the inner canthus" can lengthen the palpebral fissure, enhance eye shape, create larger, more expressive eyes, and add dimensionality. However, surgery carries inherent risks. Eye tissues are delicate and prone to injury. Therefore, besides choosing a reputable medical institution with an experienced surgeon, you should also note the following before surgery:
1. Avoid taking aspirin-containing medications for two weeks prior to surgery, as aspirin reduces platelet clotting function;
2. Patients with hypertension or diabetes must fully disclose their conditions during the initial consultation to enable the attending physician to confirm the surgical plan;
3. Ensure good overall health with no infectious diseases or active inflammation prior to surgery;
4. Avoid wearing makeup before the procedure;
5. Women should schedule surgery outside their menstrual period;
6. Men must abstain from smoking for one week beforehand.
If you aspire to star-like eyes and meet the physical criteria for surgery, you may consider medical eyelid surgery. However, strictly adhere to the above precautions to achieve both safety and desired results.
