Incision Double Eyelid (Revision) and Upper Epicanthoplasty
A case study of a female in her 20s who underwent revision double eyelid surgery and upper epicanthoplasty to correct loose folds and a hooded inner corner.

* Basic Information
# Female in her 20s
# Medical History: Previous double eyelid surgery at an ophthalmology clinic due to trichiasis (ingrown eyelashes).
# Current Status & Requirements: The double eyelid line has become loose and appears buried. The inner corners are particularly hooded, creating a somewhat ‘harsh’ impression.
* Consultation
# Although she had double eyelid surgery in the past, the lines have loosened over time.
# We planned to create a clear, defined line through revision incision double eyelid surgery and upper epicanthoplasty.
* Surgical Plan
# Incision Double Eyelid (Revision)
# Upper Epicanthoplasty







* Post-operative Progress
# An ‘In-Out’ line that is clearly visible from the inner corner has been achieved.
# The patient is very satisfied as her overall impression looks much more vivid and clear :)
‘Before, the inner part of my eyes had no fold and I had to use my eyebrows to open my eyes. When I opened them comfortably, my eyelids felt heavy and looked like monolids. After the surgery, that heavy feeling is gone and the double eyelid line is so beautiful. Most of all, the epicanthoplasty made my eyes look much more open and my features more distinct, I love it so much! Dr. Yoo Young-moon was so kind from the first consultation right up until the surgery… he is the definition of kind, thorough, and meticulous. I’m so glad I chose this place! Thank you!!!’ - A real review from our patient
