When the eye is ametropic, facial muscles will become tense to compensate. After myopia surgery, facial muscles will also undergo a series of changes.
If patients with myopia surgery and double eyelid surgery are considered, it is recommended to complete myopia surgery first, so that the condition of facial muscles is more in line with the form of future life.

It is very important to reduce swelling after double eyelid surgery, which is also a concern of many people.

Opening canthus is an surgical method for epicanthus, which mainly removes the reverse webbed folds from bottom to top at the inner canthus.
Because the epicanthus may cover the lacrimal duct outlet at the inner canthus, thus making the eyes appear thin and short in appearance and lack charm. Therefore, in order to obtain the most perfect large eyes, simple double eyelid surgery is not enough.
It is suggested that it is best to perform canthus opening surgery at the same time when double eyelid surgery, and patients with severe epicanthus can perform surgery separately.
