Epicanthoplasty Revision Surgery, This Time Done Right!

Hello, this is Inique Plastic Surgery.

Today, we’re going to take a look at epicanthoplasty revision surgery.

In the case of revision surgery,

because another surgery is being performed,

patients often have more to consider than with the first surgery,

such as psychological 부담, financial concerns, and choosing a hospital they won’t regret.

So for those considering epicanthoplasty revision surgery,

we will carefully go over the types of revision surgery, how the procedure is performed, and what needs to be considered,

together with Inique, a clinic specializing in eye plastic surgery.

First, epicanthoplasty revision surgery

refines the epicanthal fold at the inner corner of the eyes

to create a brighter, more open-looking eye shape.

Because of this, if the first surgery was overcorrected

or undercorrected, revision surgery can be used

to restore the ideal shape.

Inique’s epicanthoplasty revision surgery

includes two types: epicanthoplasty reconstruction and mini epicanthoplasty.

First, in the case of epicanthoplasty reconstruction,

it is a procedure that restores areas where the lacrimal caruncle is excessively exposed

to create a natural-looking inner eye corner.

Mini epicanthoplasty revision surgery,

even after epicanthoplasty surgery,

is performed when the inner corner of the eye remains rounded,

creating a cramped appearance and reducing satisfaction with the first surgery.

Through minimal incision, it sharpens the shape more precisely.

Epicanthoplasty revision surgery is usually performed

after 6 months for eye revision surgery,

but if the symptoms are severe and there are aftereffects

that make normal social life difficult,

surgery may be performed regardless of timing

through thorough consultation with the medical team.

Inique’s epicanthoplasty reconstruction

is a procedure that restores lacrimal caruncle exposure caused by excessive epicanthoplasty.

The red part visible at the inner corner of the eye is called the lacrimal caruncle. It means the little pond where tears collect.

The ideal amount of exposure for this lacrimal caruncle

is approximately 1/3 to 2/3.

If more than 2/3 is exposed, the appearance can become unnatural

and may easily look harsh. If the lacrimal caruncle is exposed too much, an

'epicanthoplasty reconstruction' should be performed.

V-Y ADVANCEMENT, which closes the inner corner of the eye,

involves making an incision along the epicanthoplasty scar, dissecting the skin

so that it can be moved,

and then closing it with a 'zipper-like' suture method.

In this case, closing about 1/3 is appropriate,

and caution is needed because closing too much can make the eyes look cramped instead.

Second, Inique mini epicanthoplasty revision surgery

If the eyes still look cramped even after epicanthoplasty surgery,

not only the amount of lacrimal caruncle exposure but also

the shape of the inner corner of the eye should be checked.

Even if a lot of the lacrimal caruncle is visible, if the inner corner is rounded,

it can still create a cramped impression.

Inique mini epicanthoplasty revision surgery,

which makes the eyes look brighter without changing the amount of lacrimal caruncle exposure,

removes only part of the epicanthal fold,

minimizing changes in lacrimal caruncle exposure,

and sharpens the inner shape to make the eyes look more open.

However, with this procedure, excessive widening

can severely increase lacrimal caruncle exposure,

so delicate surgical skill from the medical team is essential.

With its proprietary technology,

Inique is completing the eye shape that many people want

through its mini epicanthoplasty technique, for which it has filed a trademark application with the Korean Intellectual Property Office.

If you are not satisfied after surgery,

or if you are looking for an epicanthoplasty revision clinic because of aftereffects,

you should definitely find not only a clinic specializing in eye plastic surgery

but also one that has performed many cases.

In addition, based on a thorough consultation with the doctor,

what is the problem with my eyes,

and what surgical method is right for me,

must be identified to create perfect eyes without a second failure.

that has performed more than 5,000 eye surgeries and revision surgeries.
