Safe and Natural Epicanthoplasty Reconstruction at a Hospital with Extensive Experience image 1

� Hello. This is IENIC.

By opening up the inner corner of the eyes more clearly,

epicanthoplasty is a procedure that enlarges the eyes and changes the overall impression.

It is a commonly performed surgery,

but at the same time, there are also many cases of side effects.

� � If the result of epicanthoplasty is not natural,

and the red tissue at the inner corner of the eye is exposed,

it can be unhygienic and lead to lower satisfaction,

which may make epicanthoplasty reconstruction necessary.

Since this is a revision procedure, it is important to choose more carefully

and make sure you receive a clear result.

� Today, let’s look at the types of epicanthoplasty revision surgery,

learn how reconstruction surgery is performed,

and also find out when revision surgery is possible after the operation.

� Side effects after epicanthoplasty can be broadly divided into two types,

depending on whether the amount of opening was too much or, conversely,

too little.

� First, when the opening is too large,

the caruncle at the inner corner of the eye may be excessively exposed

and the eye may look unnatural. Because the red tissue inside the eye is exposed,

it may also be unhygienic,

and in this case, epicanthoplasty reconstruction becomes necessary.

� On the other hand, when the opening is too small,

even after epicanthoplasty, the inner corner of the eye may still look round and closed off,

so the refreshed impression may not be revealed. In this case, rather than reconstruction,

"mini epicanthoplasty" can refine the shape with a minor incision

to improve it into the appearance that was originally desired.

� � Safe and Natural Epicanthoplasty Reconstruction at a Hospital with Extensive Experience image 3 Epicanthoplasty reconstruction is designed by first assessing the desired eye shape

based on the degree of caruncle exposure, and then setting a restoration plan accordingly.

� The reconstruction process involves making an incision along the epicanthoplasty scar,

dissection of the skin so it can be moved, and then suturing it in a

"zipping closed" manner using the "V-Y Advancement" method.

� At this point, the degree to which the skin is closed

determines the final impression of the completed eye shape.

Usually, closing about one-third is considered appropriate,

so the surgery is performed with delicate adjustments.

� After dissection, the inner corner of the eye naturally continues along the closed skin,

allowing a refreshed eye shape that does not feel cramped

and matches the originally desired appearance.

� Conversely, if the opening is too small

and the eyes still look cramped even after epicanthoplasty,

a "mini epicanthoplasty" is performed to change the shape

of the inner corner of the eye for a more open look.

� Mini epicanthoplasty is a procedure that sharpens the inner shape

without changing the amount of caruncle exposure,

turning a rounded inner corner into a sharper one

and creating a more refreshed impression.

� Mini epicanthoplasty is a procedure that requires delicate technique,

and it is a revision epicanthoplasty method available only at IENIC Plastic Surgery,

after having completed a trademark application with the Korean Intellectual Property Office.

including our surgeon’s experience as the operator for Seasons 1 to 3 of "Let Me In Thailand"

which specializes in eye revision surgery,

please check whether the timing is appropriate for revision.

� After six months have passed since eye surgery,

the hardened scar tissue generally softens,

so we say revision surgery is possible at that point.

� However, if the symptoms are severe and it is difficult to go about daily life,

and you want revision surgery sooner,

we perform revision surgery regardless of timing. For a more accurate surgical plan,

please visit the clinic and receive a direct consultation with a specialist.

� Based on extensive surgical experience and know-how,

we will help recreate the eye shape you originally wanted through revision surgery

that includes thorough consultation, analysis, and customized design.

� Then, up to now, as if it had been beautiful from the very beginning,

this has been IENIC.

� Thank you.
