Concerned About Outer Eye Corner Scars When Getting Revision Epicanthoplasty

Outer eye corner surgery, along with lower outer eye corner surgery, is a procedure to correct the position of the eye corners and make the eye shape look softer. Lower outer eye corner surgery can slightly lower the area under the eye to make the eyes look more drooped, and outer eye corner lowering surgery can directly lower the eye corner to change the shape of the eyes themselves.

When lowering the outer eye corner, not only the outer skin but also the middle-layer tarsal plate and the inner conjunctiva need to be repositioned together. If only the outer skin is pulled and fixed without drawing down all three layers together, the entire outer eye corner does not move downward. Instead, only the skin at the corner is pulled outward, making the tip of the outer eye corner look turned up. In that case, the inner red conjunctiva can turn outward, leaving a red scar at the outer eye corner that looks as if blood tears were flowing.

In such cases, #OuterEyeCornerRevisionSurgery or #OuterEyeCornerRestoration is used to correct the outer eye corner scar. Revision surgery can make the eyes look slightly more drooped while also making them appear a little larger. Outer eye corner restoration corrects the #OuterEyeCornerScar by slightly lifting the widened eye corner and slightly closing the corner that appears torn open.

Please remember that an outer eye corner scar caused by failure in eye-corner position correction means the design was wrong from the start, so rather than relying on revision surgery, it is safest to have even the first surgery performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience in outer eye corner surgery!
