Restoration of Epicanthoplasty and Removal of Sunken Double Eyelid Scars

Please pay attention to the photos below.

In cases of a severe epicanthic fold that fully covers the inner corner of the eye and extends sharply down beneath the inner canthus,

when the eyes are closed, a deep indentation often forms above the epicanthic fold line.

The reason such a deep indentation forms is that there is a band-like wall called the epicanthic fold on both sides of the indentation.

Because this band tissue exists under the skin, the epicanthic fold at the inner corner of the eye appears severely pronounced,

and conversely, because the epicanthic fold is severe, an indentation can exist in the skin at the inner corner of the eye.

Although this is not the same patient as the one above,

this case likely had a similar epicanthic fold pattern before surgery,

and when epicanthoplasty was performed to cut away this type of epicanthic fold,

a deep indentation formed at the inner corner of the eye, as shown in the photo above.

To anyone, it looks too obvious that surgery was done, making it a very unsightly scar, and this kind of sunken scar cannot even be concealed with makeup.

A thick, sausage-like double eyelid, especially one with a deep and high double-eyelid line, combined with severe epicanthoplasty,

can cause severe scar-related indentation all the way to the inner corner of the eye.

After revision surgery to reduce the double eyelid, along with scar removal and epicanthoplasty scar removal,

the eyes were changed into a natural appearance without sunken scars.

From the side, the double eyelid and sunken scar were severe before surgery,

but after surgery to correct the sunken scar, the indentation was corrected and the inner corner of the eye was reconstructed naturally.

However, since the indentation scar was caused by cutting away the epicanthic fold, if the missing epicanthic tissue is reconstructed,

surrounding tissue is used, so after reconstruction surgery, the inner corner of the eye may appear round.

In the closed-eye view, the double-eyelid scar was severe before surgery, but after scar-correction surgery the scar improved,

and you can see that the epicanthic fold, which normally forms when the eyes are closed, was also reconstructed neatly and in a rounded shape.
