Hello!
For surgery with high satisfaction,
always doing our very best,
this is Gangnam Seoyon Plastic Surgery :)
Today, we're going to learn about epicanthoplasty reversal,
looking at how the epicanthoplasty reversal procedure is performed,
along with real epicanthoplasty reversal surgery cases :)
The photos below have had no retouching applied,
other than brightness adjustment :)
Before explaining epicanthoplasty reversal,
let us first explain what epicanthoplasty is.
When the epicanthal fold covers the inner corner of the eye and makes it look stuffy,
the epicanthal fold can be removed while lengthening the horizontal width of the eye — this
is what is called epicanthoplasty.
So, when a lot of skin covers the inner corner of the eye and makes it look stuffy, epicanthoplasty can make the eyes look brighter and more open.
The side effects of epicanthoplasty include:
1. When the eye is opened too much, the red lacrimal caruncle becomes excessively exposed.
2. When the inner corner of the eye becomes too pointed or too round.
3. When excessive scarring develops.
In these cases, the eyes can look quite unnatural and give a poor impression, which is why epicanthoplasty reversal surgery is performed.
Personally, I believe the inner corner of the eye looks ideal when the lacrimal caruncle is exposed in a moderate, not excessive, amount,
and when the inner corner does not droop downward and is neither too pointed nor too round.
The key to epicanthoplasty reversal surgery
is as follows:
1. To cover the lacrimal caruncle as much as possible while hiding the scar,
2. to prevent the scar from reopening and re-deforming, and
3. to suppress the formation of new scars.
Let us show you an epicanthoplasty reversal case.
This is before the epicanthoplasty reversal surgery.
In the photo, the epicanthal fold at the inner corner has been opened too much, so the shape looks quite unnatural.
Through epicanthoplasty reversal surgery, the excessively exposed lacrimal caruncle can be covered,
and the overly sharp shape can be softened.
This is one year after surgery.
Here is the second case.
Before the epicanthoplasty reversal surgery, the inner corner was opened too much into a round shape, making it look unnatural.
This is six months after surgery.
Many people worry a lot about scarring with epicanthoplasty reversal surgery,
but after six months, most scars fade.
In the case of epicanthoplasty, consulting well with your doctor and opening it modestly — a little less than you might want rather than too much — seems to be one of the ways to reduce side effects.
At Gangnam Seoyon Plastic Surgery, we strive to create a pretty shape that is neither too round nor too pointed, while minimizing scarring and preventing the surgical site from reopening.
The patient's current condition, as well as the trust between the patient and their doctor, also seem important.
