[Rari Plastic Surgery] Complication after canthoplasty? Red tissue (conjunctival exposure) - corrected with revision surgery

What complications can happen after canthoplasty?!

Conjunctival swelling?

Dry eyes?

Unlike these kinds of issues, which tend to improve over time,

a complication that is immediately noticeable is

red tissue, or conjunctival exposure.

In a normal eye, the conjunctiva does not turn outward, so red tissue (the conjunctiva) is not visible on the outer surface of the skin.

Not every canthoplasty is accompanied by the conjunctiva turning outward.

The reasons for conjunctival exposure include

inadequate surgical suturing of the incision site in the proper position,

opening due to the patient’s habit of rubbing the eyes,

or changes over time caused by the many movements of the eye’s structure,

among several other reasons.

That is why, for canthoplasty, it is of course good to have the surgery performed by a doctor with extensive experience at a clinic that handles many cases,

but the patient’s wound care also plays an important role.

If you go to a clinic for consultation with red tissue exposed like that,

most clinics will recommend restoration surgery for the canthoplasty.

However, for those of us who do not want our eyes to become smaller after restoration, it is not easy to make a decision.

This photo shows a patient at Rari Plastic Surgery who had conjunctival exposure corrected through canthoplasty revision surgery.

The eyes became larger without becoming smaller, and the red tissue was corrected.

Even after 4 years following the surgery,

the conjunctival exposure has not recurred, and the canthal widening has been well maintained.

For those who are stressed by conjunctival exposure

but are worried because they do not want to restore the eyes that were hard to widen,

consider canthoplasty revision surgery at Rari Plastic Surgery.

With delicate and precise surgery and the patient’s consistent care,

we aim to help maintain good results for a long time!
