Hello.

This is INIQUE Plastic Surgery.

Recently, as interest in beauty has increased,

people of all ages and genders

have become more interested in their appearance,

and the number of people visiting plastic surgery clinics

has also been increasing.

Among them, one of the most popular choices is

'eye surgery'!

There are many different types of eye surgery,

but because eye surgery must consider not only the shape of the eyes

but also functional issues,

it is important to find a medical team with more experience

and one that has handled a wide range of cases.

After much thought and investment of both money

and a great deal of time,

your first surgery may have been performed,

and if the result was a desired eye shape, that would be fortunate.

Unfortunately, however, there are not a few people who end up considering revision surgery

because they were unable to plan a proper eye surgery plan.

Today, among various eye revision surgery cases,

we will look at cases where problems occurred due to epicanthoplasty

and examine the solution together

with INIQUE, the best place for epicanthoplasty revision.

Epicanthoplasty is a procedure that opens up the cramped-looking inner corner of the eyes

and trims the Mongolian fold to design a clearer, more refreshed eye shape.

In addition, many people undergo upper epicanthoplasty along with epicanthoplasty.

This refers to improving the area where the Mongolian fold is directed toward the upper 45-degree angle.

There are many cases in which epicanthoplasty and upper epicanthoplasty are needed,

but they are typically chosen by people who want a sharper and longer eye shape,

those whose inner eye corners look blocked and cramped because of the Mongolian fold,

those whose eyes look small because of the shape of the inner corners,

or those whose inter-eyebrow distance seems somewhat wide.

However, after epicanthoplasty,

some people find that the lacrimal caruncle is exposed too much,

or that even after the procedure their eyes still look cramped,

which leads them to worry.

In such cases, revision epicanthoplasty is considered.

With INIQUE, a clinic specializing in eye surgery,

you can sufficiently restore an ideal shape.

First, let’s look at how to address cases of overcorrection where the lacrimal caruncle is excessively exposed.

In such cases, a reconstruction of the epicanthoplasty is needed

to restore the overly exposed area of the lacrimal caruncle

and create a natural inner eye corner.

Here, the lacrimal caruncle refers to

the so-called tear lake,

and generally, the ideal amount of lacrimal caruncle exposure is about 1/3 to 2/3.

However, if it is overcorrected,

the exposure may exceed 2/3,

and as a result, it can create not only an unnatural impression

but also a harsh-looking impression.

INIQUE Plastic Surgery, the best place for epicanthoplasty revision,

performs V-Y ADVANCEMENT to close the inner corner of the eye

to improve this condition.

V-Y ADVANCEMENT is a closure method in which the incision is made along the epicanthoplasty scar,

the skin is dissected to allow movement,

and then it is sutured in a zipper-like shape.

In this case, closing about one-third is appropriate,

and care must be taken because closing too much can instead

create a cramped appearance.

When performing this method,

it is necessary to accurately determine the degree of lacrimal caruncle exposure in each patient,

and after sufficiently discussing the patient’s desired design,

a reconstruction plan should be established.

In addition, revision surgery is generally possible for anyone after 6 months,

when the hardened scar tissue begins to soften.

However, even before then, if side effect symptoms are severe and daily life is difficult,

revision surgery may still be performed after sufficient consultation with the medical team.

Second, another case in which epicanthoplasty revision is performed is when,

even after epicanthoplasty,

the eyes still look cramped.

Depending on the patient’s eye condition,

there are cases where, after epicanthoplasty,

the amount of lacrimal caruncle exposure is already at an ideal level,

but the eyes still appear cramped.

The reason is the 'shape' of the inner corner of the eye.

If the shape of this inner corner is round,

it gives a cramped impression,

and in such cases, a plan is needed to make the eye shape look refreshed

without further changing the amount of lacrimal caruncle exposure.

INIQUE Plastic Surgery, the best place for epicanthoplasty revision,

performs a mini epicanthoplasty in such cases,

incorporating INIQUE’s own know-how.

Mini epicanthoplasty is not the usual epicanthoplasty with a wide dissection range,

but a method that dissects only the area where the Mongolian fold is located.

Because it does not create a large opening

and only changes the angle,

it has the advantage of leaving almost no scar.

The mini epicanthoplasty performed at the best place for epicanthoplasty revision

is a procedure that reflects the expertise of INIQUE Plastic Surgery,

a clinic specializing in eye surgery, and has even completed a trademark application with the Korean Intellectual Property Office.

Because it significantly lowers the risk of side effects,

it also has a high level of satisfaction for those who need revision surgery.

The skin and muscles around our eyes

are thinner and more delicate than in other areas,

so the right plan is needed from the very beginning.

But even if the first surgery failed,

with INIQUE Plastic Surgery,

not only is improvement possible,

but we can also create the design you want.

If you are considering revision epicanthoplasty,

stop worrying alone now

and come to INIQUE Plastic Surgery,

the best place for epicanthoplasty revision.

Then, until now, this has been INIQUE Plastic Surgery,

as if it had been beautiful from the start.

Thank you.
