Apgujeong Epicanthoplasty Revision Surgery: Meticulousness Is Important

Hello, this is Ainique.

Although plastic surgery has become more mainstream than in the past,

because it still involves the process of incision and suturing,

it remains a “surgery”

and requires a certain recovery period,

so it is only natural to be cautious

and to worry about possible side effects or results.

If you underwent eye surgery with high hopes

for the look you wanted,

but the results were less satisfying than expected

or side effects occurred

and are affecting daily life,

you may have no choice but to consider

Apgujeong epicanthoplasty revision surgery.

However, because the first surgery already ended in failure,

you have no choice but to be even more careful

when choosing a plastic surgery clinic for revision surgery

to prevent another bad outcome.

Today, together with Ainique,

let’s take a look at cases where Apgujeong epicanthoplasty revision surgery is needed

and the methods currently being used.

You may want to receive Apgujeong epicanthoplasty revision surgery

as soon as possible,

but because the skin has already been damaged

due to the first surgery,

it is better to proceed after the wound has healed to some extent.

At Ainique, we generally recommend

performing epicanthoplasty revision surgery after 6 months,

as this is also the stage when the hardened scar tissue begins to soften.

However, if the condition is severe enough,

Apgujeong epicanthoplasty revision surgery can be performed immediately.

In most cases, Apgujeong epicanthoplasty revision surgery is decided on

when the initial surgery has resulted in either overcorrection or undercorrection.

The purpose of the incision is to properly refine the inner epicanthal fold

so that eyes that look cramped and small

can appear more open.

However, if the lacrimal caruncle is exposed too much

and the red area becomes highly visible,

or if the inner corner of the eye still looks round and cramped

even after epicanthoplasty,

an appropriate method can be selected depending on the current condition.

So, in cases of excessive lacrimal caruncle exposure,

epicanthoplasty reconstruction can be performed,

and if the incision is insufficient and the eyes still look round,

a mini epicanthoplasty can be performed.

The most important point in Apgujeong epicanthoplasty revision surgery

is how much the lacrimal caruncle is exposed.

Generally, the ideal amount of lacrimal caruncle exposure

is considered to be about 1/3 to 2/3.

However, if more than 2/3 is exposed,

the eyes may look sharp

and the impression may become unnatural.

Ainique’s Apgujeong epicanthoplasty revision surgery,

mini epicanthoplasty,

is performed by improving the shortcomings of the conventional incision procedure.

In epicanthoplasty, the appropriate amount of lacrimal caruncle exposure is important,

but the shape of the inner corner of the eye is also important.

In other words, even if the amount of visible lacrimal caruncle is appropriate,

if the inner shape is round,

it can still create a cramped impression.

Mini epicanthoplasty can be a suitable method

for people who have already undergone the procedure

but still feel that their eye shape looks cramped.

It works by slightly refining only the area with the inner epicanthal fold,

so the amount of opening is relatively small.

In other words, by not excessively resecting the epicanthal fold

and removing only part of it appropriately,

it is possible to complete a more open-looking eye shape more safely

without changing the amount of lacrimal caruncle exposure.

Today, together with Ainique,

we provided a detailed explanation of when Apgujeong epicanthoplasty revision surgery is needed

and the know-how currently being used.

To always deliver satisfying results,

Ainique will continue to do its best.

and have the area reconstructed,
