Lower Eyelid Revision Surgery - Correction of Entropion, Progress at 2 Weeks, 4 Months, and 1 Year

In the early days, a simple lateral canthoplasty method was often performed by removing the outer skin and exposing the inner conjunctiva so that the eyes would look a little bigger. However, with this simple method, if too much is cut above and below the apex of the outer canthus, a red scar appears at the corner of the eye; if too little is cut, it will almost completely reattach.

When it reattaches after a simple lateral canthoplasty, the appearance is almost no different from before the first surgery, and only scars remain in the inner conjunctiva or beneath the skin, making revision lateral canthoplasty necessary. The best method for #뒤트임재수술 is revision lateral canthoplasty using #눈꼬리내리기뒤트임. This method is most effective for cases where the eyes reattached after a previous lateral canthoplasty, where red scars remain, or where the corner turned outward.

Especially in cases where the previous lateral canthoplasty had no effect or where the eyes reattached, revision lateral canthoplasty through #눈꼬리내리기 is particularly effective. Even if there is severe round adhesions in the conjunctiva, the outer canthus can be corrected while releasing the adhesion. This is because even a highly deformed outer canthus can have its adhesions released through periosteal fixation.

However, in this type of lowering lateral canthoplasty, if the outer canthus is lowered as much as possible in an eye with a lot of excess lower eyelid skin, the remaining skin can roll inward, causing #안검내반, where the lower eyelashes poke the eyeball. After surgery, people often experience the eyelashes sticking to the eyeball due to conjunctival swelling. In most cases, it improves within a month, but if the eyelashes continue to poke the eye for more than a month, a separate #안검내반교정 surgery is needed.

Entropion correction performed in ophthalmology is covered by medical insurance because it only improves the symptom of eyelashes poking the eye. However, in plastic surgery, the main purpose is cosmetic, so that after entropion correction no scar remains, meaning it is not covered by insurance and, in fact, you must also pay VAT. No matter how much #속눈썹찔림 improves, if a scar remains under the eye or ectropion occurs, it is a major setback. Even if you use insurance, you would only save a few hundred thousand won at most, so would you still do it with insurance?
