Among eye plastic surgeries, the difficulty of canthoplasty is that if it is done only very slightly, it can end up closing back up or having no effect, and if it is done too aggressively, it can leave an unnatural appearance or scar-related deformity. Because it is not easy to find the right balance, many people think that having a natural canthoplasty with no effect is better than leaving too much scarring, even if it means undergoing revision canthoplasty. One of the most common reasons for revision canthoplasty is when the previous outer corner eye surgery had no effect.
Revision canthoplasty
When the previous canthoplasty had no effect
If the outer corner is opened too naturally, it may look as if there is a little effect for the first few months, but as time passes it can almost close back up. In fact, it is frustrating if an unwanted scar deformity remains after canthoplasty, but it can be just as frustrating to have paid for surgery and seen no effect at all. It becomes worse than not having done it at all.
Revision canthoplasty
When scars or deformities remain
If you pursue too much change in appearance or open it too aggressively to prevent it from closing back up, deformity at the outer corner of the eye can occur or scars can remain. In such cases, a considerable amount of stress can result, so prompt revision canthoplasty or reconstruction to restore the outer corner may be necessary.
Any eye plastic surgery can be revised because of unwanted results. Canthoplasty is no different. In particular, because canthoplasty is performed on the outer corner of the eye, which moves a lot, the chance of deformity is higher than with epicanthoplasty. It is a procedure that requires an appropriate opening design and careful facial expression control by the patient around the outer corner of the eye. In medicine, especially plastic surgery, it is a game of probabilities. A doctor who has performed many surgeries and experienced many cases naturally has a higher level of concern and understanding of that procedure.
