When Is Inner Corner Epicanthoplasty Revision Needed?

Hello,

This is VN Plastic Surgery.

When getting double-eyelid surgery, many people also choose to have an eye-corner procedure at the same time.

People often undergo eye-corner surgery when they feel their eyes are too small or want to create a desired eye shape.

There are various types of eye-corner surgery, such as inner corner, upper corner, lower corner, and outer corner procedures. Among them, today we will talk about inner corner surgery.

Let’s take a look at when inner corner revision may be needed.

Inner corner surgery can improve the epicanthic fold, creating a more open and defined eye shape.

However, if problems arise during the recovery process or as a result of side effects from inner corner surgery, unnatural results may occur, leading to dissatisfaction.

If side effects occur after inner corner surgery, revision may be necessary. Let me explain this in more detail.

If the eyes appear too close together, or if the inner corners look unnatural or there is scarring,

or if the eye shape has become overly sharp, or if tearing happens frequently or a foreign-body sensation is felt, revision may be needed.

If excessive inner corner surgery has created an unnatural eye shape or caused functional problems, the cause of the failure should be analyzed,

and inner corner revision surgery may be needed to restore the eyes to a shape closer to the original appearance.

So, how does VN’s inner corner revision proceed?

First, it is important to analyze the cause of the previous failed eye-corner surgery and the current condition, and then design the procedure based on that analysis.

Then, the epicanthic fold is smoothly repositioned again, and the inner corner of the eye is made to look natural.

The appropriate time when inner corner revision can be performed is after the scar has healed and the swelling has gone down, allowing the area time to settle.

This can vary depending on the condition of the eyes, but it usually takes about 6 months to 1 year.

At this time, it would be good to visit VN’s specialists, who can identify the problems through a differentiated plastic surgery system and help you regain beautiful, natural-looking eyes.
