Epicanthoplasty Reversal and Incisional Double Eyelid Revision Surgery

* Basic Information

# Female in her 20s

# Medical History: Natural adhesion (non-incisional) double eyelid surgery, epicanthoplasty

# Current Status & Patient Requests: The eyelid lines have completely loosened, and the epicanthoplasty was overdone, making it look unsightly. I want to restore clear double eyelid lines and make the inner corners look less aggressive.

* Consultation

# Although she had double eyelid surgery in the past, the front part of the lines has become loose and appears buried.

# Since she desired a clear ‘in-out’ line, we planned an incisional double eyelid revision surgery to create a defined crease.

# The previous epicanthoplasty was excessive, leading to overexposure of the red inner flesh (lacrimal caruncle). We planned an epicanthoplasty reversal to create a more natural appearance.

* Surgical Plan

# Incisional Double Eyelid (Revision)

# Epicanthoplasty Reversal

* Post-operative Progress

# A clear ‘in-out’ line that is visible from the inner corner has been achieved.

# Natural-looking eyes were restored through epicanthoplasty reversal. In reversal surgery, it is crucial to accurately calculate the amount to be closed and to design and suture in a way that minimizes scarring.
