A Review of Medial Epicanthoplasty Revision That Restored a Natural Look to the Inner Corners of the Eyes

Hello, this is Ruho Plastic Surgery.

In the eyes, which play a major role in determining one’s overall impression,

the exposure of the lacrimal lake is a factor that can create a noticeable difference through small changes.

Excessive exposure of the inner corners can create a stern appearance,

but with subtle adjustments, the eyes can look softer

and more balanced.

Today, we will take a look at a case of inner-corner revision

that was improved through fine details.

Ruho Plastic Surgery’s Medial Epicanthoplasty Revision

That Corrects an Unnatural Inner-Corner Opening

Medial epicanthoplasty revision improves the epicanthal fold

covering the inner corner of the eye and expands the horizontal eye length.

At Ruho Plastic Surgery, the appropriate range of correction is selected

by considering facial proportions and the structure of the eyes.

Before: Wide Inner Corners

• Excessively open inner corners

• Direct exposure of the medial canthus because the epicanthal fold was not visible

• Attention was focused on the inner corners rather than the eyes as a whole

Because the inner corners appeared wide,

the eyes looked somewhat strong and sharp.

The goal was to naturally recreate the epicanthal folds

and reduce mucosal exposure

to create a softer impression.

By appropriately adjusting the exposure of the lacrimal lake,

medial epicanthoplasty revision requires analyzing

and improving various concerns from multiple angles.

At our clinic, we create harmonious inner corners

with an overall eye-shape design that considers the distance between the eyes

and the connection with the double-eyelid lines.

🎯After: A Balanced and Reassuring Eye Shape

• The epicanthal fold line is covered to an appropriate degree

• Reduced mucosal exposure

• A balanced proportion between the eyes

Rather than completely closing off the inner corners through revision,

the epicanthal folds were naturally restored,

appropriately adjusting the amount of medial canthus exposure.

The exposure of the reddish mucosa at the inner corners was reduced,

creating an effect in which attention is distributed across the eyes as a whole.

You may think of medial epicanthoplasty revision as simply

“covering up more.”

However, satisfaction with the results is improved

when the correction is adjusted appropriately

with consideration for overall facial proportions

and changes in one’s impression.

After sufficient consultation and a gradual approach,

we hope you find the inner-corner shape

that is right for you.

Thank you.
