An epicanthoplasty revision is often considered after a failed first surgery, especially when visible scars are left on the inner corners of your eyes. It makes eye contact intimidating, and no amount of makeup can easily conceal depressed scars or unnaturally creased skin.<\/p>\n

The inner corner of the eye has extremely thin skin and a complex structure, making it incredibly difficult to restore once damaged. Therefore, simply stitching the surface of the scar is never enough. It requires a highly precise restorative procedure that identifies and fixes the underlying structural issues.<\/p>\n

Today, we will look at a 2-month post-operative case from She One Plastic Surgery<\/span><\/span>. <\/span>As a clinic heavily specialized in “Eye Revision”<\/span><\/span>, we meticulously refined the damaged tissues and restored the lost volume to bring back a natural, comfortable eye shape.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pre-Surgery Diagnosis: Artificial Folds and Insufficient Skin Tissue<\/h2>\n

When the patient first visited our clinic, the most noticeable issue was a forced, unnatural crease across the inner corner of the eyes. This iatrogenic epicanthal fold was the result of excessive tissue removal during the previous epicanthoplasty, causing the surrounding tissues to be forcefully pulled and fused together.<\/p>\n

Additionally, a sunken, depressed scar was clearly visible from both the front and a 45-degree angle. Since these complex deformations made the patient’s overall impression appear somewhat sharp and unnatural, we planned a revision surgery focused on releasing the damaged internal structures and replenishing the lacking volume. <\/span>This aligns with our focus on the “Last Resort” patient seeking correction for scarring<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

She One\u2019s Precise Epicanthoplasty Revision Solution<\/h2>\n

When considering revision surgery, many patients worry, “Will closing the inner corner make my eyes look small and stuffy again?” If the surrounding skin is forcibly pulled just to cover the side effects, the distance between the eyes can widen, and the horizontal length of the eye can decrease, resulting in a dull appearance.<\/p>\n

The epicanthoplasty revision at She One Plastic Surgery <\/span><\/span>is not a one-dimensional procedure of simply pulling and closing the skin. First, we delicately separate the hardened, fused internal scar tissue layer by layer to relieve abnormal tension. Then, we micro-reposition the remaining skin in multiple directions to fill the depressed space. By selectively concealing only the scarred area, we minimize the reduction in eye size while inducing a natural inner corner shape. <\/span>Our goal is always dedicated to ensuring that every corrective or primary procedure is the patient’s final, definitive surgery<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Recovery Process and 2-Month Long-Term Results<\/h2>\n

Stitches are typically removed around the 7th day after surgery. During this initial phase, bruising and swelling are present. Because revision surgery deals with already damaged tissue, the surgical area may temporarily feel hard to the touch or look red. This is a healthy and natural healing response as the repositioned tissues settle into their new places.<\/p>\n

Fast forward to 2 months post-op: the hardened scar tissue has softened, and the redness has blended with the surrounding skin tone, showing a stabilized state. The artificially angled folds have disappeared, and the depressed spaces have been smoothly filled. The patient has successfully achieved a positive transformation, returning to their original, comfortable, and soft inner eye shape.<\/p>\n

Sincere Care that Heals the Patient’s Scars<\/h2>\n

The side effects of a botched eye surgery can shrink a patient’s daily life and self-esteem beyond just a change in appearance. We deeply empathize with the heavy hearts of patients who have hesitated and worried endlessly. <\/span>Providing closure to a long, stressful journey of multiple eye surgeries is our priority<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Eye revision is a highly advanced process of accurately identifying the damaged internal anatomical structure and returning it to its original place. <\/span>Based on our core values of clinical precision and patient empathy<\/span><\/span>, we conduct precise 1:1 consultations to objectively analyze skin laxity and scar depth, proposing only safe and necessary surgical plans. <\/span>We promise meticulous and honest care from the first consultation to the final check-up, making this surgery your last<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n
