Revision Epicanthoplasty That Does Not Make the Eyes Smaller

When any type of eye surgery needs to be performed again—such as double eyelid surgery, front epicanthoplasty, or rear epicanthoplasty—it can be quite difficult. In particular, it is not only a matter of simply not liking the result and correcting some kind of deformity or scar; when one more condition is added, even the person performing the surgery can understandably feel burdened.

If you previously had rear epicanthoplasty and developed scars or a deformity of the outer corner of the eye, revision surgery is performed to correct those issues. When correcting such problems, many people add the following condition:

I hope my eyes do not become smaller!

The condition for people receiving revision rear epicanthoplasty..

Usually, when deformity or scarring is visible at the outer corner of the eye after rear epicanthoplasty, the most reassuring option is simply to perform rear corner restoration that returns it to the state before the rear epicanthoplasty. Since it at least brings the eye back to its previous condition, it is a surgery that creates less stress for the surgeon. However, for people who had rear epicanthoplasty and then need another operation because something went wrong, it can become another source of stress.

With rear corner restoration, the outer corner of the eye has to be closed, so the eye may become smaller than it was before the rear epicanthoplasty. After the surgery, there may be scars, but the eyes were larger and that was a plus; in that case, correcting the scar or outer-corner deformity while causing the eyes to become smaller may become another stress factor.

In revision rear epicanthoplasty, it is not easy to correct outer-corner scars or deformities without making the eyes smaller, so the design must be planned by considering various factors. The anatomical structures that are not visible from the outside, such as the outer corner ligament, must also be corrected together. In fact, if you understand the anatomical principles of rear epicanthoplasty well, performing the procedures together is naturally the wisdom gained from experience.
