◆ Candidates for Epicanthoplasty reversal

 

 

 

 

1. Dissatisfaction with Design from Primary

Epicanthoplasty (artificial size, shape and direction of lacrimal lake) • Excessive extension of inner canthus or its unbalanced shape can be corrected

 

 

2 Lagophthalmos

• If wrong primary surgery caused lagophthalmos, in which patients can't close eyelids completely, it can be corrected through revision as well as artificial shape of inner canthus.

 

 

3 Excessive Inner Canthus Extension

◆ Checklist before Epicanthoplasty reversal surgery

Q. What could be done if lacrimal lake is revealed (red flesh) due to excessive epicanthoplasty? Excessive resection of epicanthal folds could overly reveal lacrimal lake (red flesh). cause lagophthalmos, or produce too long or sagging inner canthus. In this case, revision surgery is performed to correct the size, shape and direction of lacrimal lake.


Q. Is it really possible to reverse epicanthoplasty? The conventional method, which simply cuts and moves the skin, hardly could change the shape of inner canthus.

April 31's Epicanthoplasty Reversal can correct and restore both inner canthal ligament and epicanthal folds into desired shapes.

◆ What is Lateral canthoplasty reversal?

Under a precise surgery plan developed by revision blepharoplasty surgery specialist, anatomical structure including ligament is restored,

and skin and mucous membranes are repositioned.
