Epicanthoplasty Revision
Revision surgery is planned based on an analysis of the degree of lacrimal caruncle exposure, allowing the procedure to be tailored to the patient's eye shape and facial features.
Revision Cases by Cause
Hook-Shaped Inner Corner
Excessive Lacrimal Caruncle Exposure
Visible Scarring
The procedure can improve excessive lacrimal caruncle exposure and visible scarring following epicanthoplasty, while tailoring the revision to the patient's eye condition and desired aesthetic outcome.
In addition to revising the inner corner of the eye, the procedure may also help improve eyelid asymmetry, scarring, and fine lines, depending on the individual's condition.
1mm Medial Epicanthoplasty Restoration Using the Double Flap Approximation Technique
The Double Flap Approximation Technique is a surgical method designed for medial epicanthoplasty restoration. A triangular flap created on the inner side of the V-shaped incision is rotated to reconstruct the medial wall of the lacrimal lake (lacrimal caruncle area), helping restore the natural anatomy while minimizing postoperative tissue distortion. The outer V-shaped flap is then repositioned into a Y-shaped configuration to adjust the direction, angle, width, and overall contour of the medial canthus. This allows for a personalized medial epicanthoplasty restoration tailored to each patient's individual eye anatomy.

Who Is This Procedure For?
Who May Benefit from Eyelid Revision Surgery
- Have excessive exposure of the red conjunctiva at the inner corners of the eyes
- Feel that their eyes appear too close together after medial epicanthoplasty
- Have noticeable scarring after previous medial epicanthoplasty
Lateral Canthoplasty Restoration
We perform restoration surgery based on a detailed analysis of conjunctival exposure and the patient’s individual eye shape.
Revision Cases by Cause
C-shaped or D-shaped Deformity
Excessive Conjunctival Exposure
Unsatisfactory Eye Line
Lateral canthoplasty restoration may be considered when the outer corner of the eye appears unnatural due to C-shaped adhesion, conjunctival exposure, or dissatisfaction with the eye line after previous lateral canthoplasty.
The procedure is planned according to each patient’s eye condition. By carefully reconnecting the inner conjunctiva of the eyelid, ligament, fascial layer, muscle layer, and skin layer, the outer corner of the eye can be restored to an appropriate degree based on the patient’s individual needs.
Who Is This Procedure For?
Who May Benefit from Eyelid Revision Surgery
- Have excessive exposure of the red conjunctiva after lateral canthoplasty
- Have developed a C/D-shaped appearance at the outer corners of the eyes after lateral canthoplasty
- Have noticeable scarring after previous lateral canthoplasty
Q&A
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Does eyelid revision surgery make the eyes smaller?
In cases where restoration is performed due to excessive exposure of the lacrimal caruncle or conjunctiva, the exposed area is reduced, which may make the eyes appear smaller. However, 1mm Plastic Surgery's eyelid restoration surgery reflects the degree of widening originally desired, preventing the eyes from appearing smaller even after restoration.
Q. When is restoration possible?
It is recommended to undergo revision surgery at least 6 months later. This is because a diagnosis is only possible when the eye tissues are in a stable state. However, at the surgeon's discretion, the procedure may be performed early in the surgery before the scar hardens.
Q. Will the scar get worse if I get eyelid restoration?
Depending on the degree of restoration, a subtle scar may remain.
However, you do not need to worry too much because the 1mm eyelid restoration is performed using technology that ensures no scars remain during the restoration process.
