Blepharoplasty Revision Clinic: Reconstruction for a Failed Epicanthoplasty

Hello, this is AINIQUE, a blepharoplasty revision clinic.

The pursuit of beauty has continued steadily as a social phenomenon then and now.

Everyone has their own unique charm, and while it is said that these charms can be brought out, when you actually look at your own face, it is easy to feel a complex if you think there are areas that are less attractive than others.

However, some people may think that shortcomings can be transformed into strengths, but if there is an area that needs correction because it is difficult to cover, then makeup or getting a massage alone may not bring satisfaction.

In addition, as the days go by, appearance-based bias is becoming more severe, and outstanding looks are considered a major advantage and even a credential, so their influence is quite significant.

Due to this social phenomenon, more and more people are choosing plastic surgery to improve their less-than-ideal appearance and create a better version of themselves.

There are many types of plastic surgery that improve appearance.

Among the various types, finding a method that can improve the specific concerns you have and proceeding with it is an important point for successful plastic surgery.

However, after actually undergoing surgery, if the result is different from what was expected, or if it looks worse than before, and the impression is awkward and unnatural, revision surgery may be unavoidable.

Among these procedures, epicanthoplasty is a surgery that requires careful refinement of the front part of the eye, so if the first surgery lacked delicate control or if the opening was excessive, it can cause aesthetic and functional problems, which makes correction through revision surgery necessary.

Today, together with AINIQUE, a blepharoplasty revision clinic, we will introduce the methods of epicanthoplasty revision and how to reduce side effects for those who had a failed first surgery or are suffering from complications.

Eye corner surgery refines the front and back of the eye to create a more open appearance.

In many cases, the procedure most commonly performed is the front corner, or epicanthoplasty.

The purpose of epicanthoplasty is to open up the epicanthal fold, which can make the eyes look cramped, so that the eyes appear brighter and more defined.

The epicanthal fold is commonly found among East Asians.

When an epicanthal fold is present, the eyes can somehow look smaller and give a cramped impression.

When the epicanthal fold is located at a 45-degree angle above the eye, it is referred to as a superior epicanthoplasty.

At AINIQUE, reconstruction for epicanthoplasty uses two methods: epicanthoplasty reconstruction and mini epicanthoplasty revision.

For those with overcorrection or undercorrection, even after undergoing eye corner surgery, the eyes may still not feel open and refreshed.

For these people, mini epicanthoplasty revision is the appropriate choice.

In the case of epicanthoplasty reconstruction, it is needed for people whose first surgery caused overcorrection, exposing the lacrimal caruncle—the inner part of the eye—more than necessary, making the red area stand out and giving a harsher impression.

The lacrimal caruncle is the reddish part seen in the inner corner of the eye. Its English term is lacrimal lake, and to explain it simply, it means a pond where tears collect.

The key when performing the surgery is not to let too much of the lacrimal caruncle show, but to keep it to about one-third so that the eyes do not look cramped and still feel refreshed.

If more than two-thirds of the lacrimal caruncle is exposed, there is a high chance that the result will look unnatural and give a fierce impression.

Epicanthoplasty reconstruction, performed for cases with excessive lacrimal caruncle exposure due to overcorrection, uses the V-Y advancement method.

This method involves making an incision along the epicanthoplasty scar, dissecting the skin, then keeping it movable and suturing it in a way similar to closing a pants zipper.

There is no need to close it too much, and if it is closed to about one-third, it can be completed in a way that looks natural and not cramped.

The mini epicanthoplasty revision performed at this blepharoplasty revision clinic is suitable for people who have already tried surgery and, although the amount of lacrimal caruncle exposure is not excessive and is at an appropriate level, still give a cramped impression.

In such cases, not only the lacrimal caruncle but also the shape of the inner corner of the eye must be examined.

If the shape of the inner corner is round, it can look cramped no matter how appropriate the lacrimal caruncle exposure is.

The mini epicanthoplasty at AINIQUE slightly reduces the epicanthal fold without altering the amount of lacrimal caruncle exposure, and sharply refines the inner corner, allowing for a more open change.
