[Eye Revision Surgery] A Difference Made by a Small Detail

April 31 Plastic Surgery Canthoplasty Revision

Hello.

This is April 31 Plastic Surgery.

In addition to double eyelid surgery,

it is common to combine it with canthoplasty,

but dissatisfaction with the results and

the need for revision surgery are also increasing.

Revision surgery, which is more difficult than the initial procedure,

requires an accurate diagnosis of the cause of revision

and the application of an appropriate surgical method.

What is medial canthoplasty revision surgery?

What is medial canthoplasty revision surgery?

It is a surgery that restores a medial canthoplasty

that was overly corrected by excessively removing the skin of the inner canthus,

or that caused excessive scarring,

back to a natural and normal shape.

From simple scar revision to methods that

restore insufficient skin,

different surgical methods can be applied depending on the condition

to improve problems related to canthoplasty.

Who needs medial canthoplasty revision?

April 31 Plastic Surgery Canthoplasty Revision

1. When you are not satisfied with the shape of the medial canthoplasty

The size of the lacrimal caruncle, unnatural direction,

a medial canthoplasty that is too extensive, or a shape that does not match

facial balance can be corrected through revision surgery.

2. When ectropion occurs

If ectropion occurs in the inner canthus after an improper surgery,

and the eyes do not close properly

and appear unnatural,

revision surgery is needed.

3. When the medial canthoplasty is too extensive

When the medial canthoplasty is longer than normal

or points too sharply downward,

it is redesigned and corrected to suit facial balance.

Examples of incorrect medial canthoplasty

medial canthoplasty revision can correct both the inner canthal ligament

and the medial canthal fold, making it possible to restore the desired shape.

Q. What should be done when the lacrimal caruncle (the red tissue)

is visible due to excessive medial canthoplasty?

A. Excessive skin removal during medial canthoplasty can cause

severe exposure of the lacrimal caruncle, or when closing the eyes,

inner canthal ectropion (inability to close the eyes),

an excessively long inner eye corner,

or excessive downward slanting, among other side effects.

In such cases, surgery is performed to

correct the shape, size, and direction of the lacrimal caruncle.

What is lateral canthoplasty revision surgery?

Examples of incorrect lateral canthoplasty

This is a surgery that turns an abnormal outer canthus

caused by an improper lateral canthoplasty into a normal eye

both functionally and aesthetically.

Under the exact surgical plan of the dedicated medical team,

it restores disrupted anatomical structures, including the lost ligaments,

and repositions the skin and mucosa

to improve an incorrect lateral canthoplasty.

Who needs lateral canthoplasty revision?

1. When the eyelid turns outward after surgery

Who needs lateral canthoplasty revision

If the outer canthal ligament (the ligament at the eye corner)

was fixed in an inaccurate position,

revision surgery repositions it correctly.

2. When the shape of the lateral canthoplasty is not natural

It is redesigned and corrected while considering the bone structure

around the eye corner and facial balance.

3. When there is a lot of visible scarring

Revision surgery is performed to remove visible red scars

caused by an improper surgery.

To resolve the functional and aesthetic problems that arise after canthoplasty,

the damaged area must be minimized and a careful,

precise plan must be established.

It is the right approach to undergo surgery after a detailed diagnosis

from specialist medical staff with extensive experience in various cases and surgeries.
