When Is Epicanthoplasty Necessary?

Hello,

this is VN Plastic Surgery.

When you are considering double eyelid surgery,

additional procedures that may come to mind include

epicanthoplasty, eyelid correction, or lower eyelid fat repositioning.

Today, we’ll talk about your concerns regarding VN epicanthoplasty.

First, choosing the epicanthoplasty that suits you

is the first thing to consider.

Epicanthoplasty is broadly divided into three types.

Inner corner surgery can improve the epicanthal fold,

creating a more refreshed eye shape.

Outer corner surgery expands the horizontal width of the eyes,

making the eye shape look more defined.

Lastly, lower corner surgery expands the line below the eyes,

allowing for a softer eye shape.

VN, which can perform these three types of epicanthoplasty,

designs the procedure while considering the overall facial impression and harmony,

and completes a natural yet refined eye shape.

In addition, we perform incision lines that are not noticeable

through one-on-one customized epicanthoplasty.

VN epicanthoplasty’s incision system, which reduces the burden of scars,

can be explained separately for inner corner surgery and outer/lower corner surgery.

Inner corner surgery uses a system that incises the epicanthal fold inward

depending on the inner canthus,

and outer/lower corner surgery makes micro-incisions outward

along the wrinkles around the eyes.

After epicanthoplasty, one of the biggest concerns is

scarring.

However, with VN’s own aftercare program,

we take careful responsibility.

We provide scar ointment and regenerative laser treatment,

and ease swelling with cold compresses for 1 to 3 days.

Lastly, through regular follow-up checks,

we detect any issues early.

To conclude, if you previously had epicanthoplasty

and want revision surgery,

we recommend it only when necessary.

There are three such cases:

First, when the scar after surgery stands out;

second, when there is little to no effect or it re-adhesions;

third, when the eye shape looks unnatural or asymmetrical.

If your case falls into one of these categories, we recommend revision epicanthoplasty,

but a precise diagnosis is essential. At VN,

please have a thorough consultation with our experienced medical staff

and make your decision carefully.

Not only double eyelid surgery, but also to help create an eye shape that suits you,

VN takes responsibility for epicanthoplasty as well

through one-on-one customized design, so we hope you will visit us.
