Inner Corner Eye Restoration (Epicanthoplasty Revision): Correction for a Natural Look

Inner corner eye restoration is a procedure performed after a previous epicanthoplasty when the inner corner appears overly open or the shape looks unnatural. The goal is to correct this area and restore a more natural and balanced appearance.

When the epicanthal fold is excessively removed, the tear duct (caruncle) may become overly exposed, and the distance between the eyes may appear reduced. This can make the overall expression look sharper, and the inner corner may appear pointed. In some cases, patients may also be concerned about visible scarring.

The procedure is performed using the patient’s own skin and tissue: a new fold is created or the tissue is repositioned. The key goal is to partially cover the overly exposed inner corner and create a softer, more natural contour. If necessary, scar revision can be performed at the same time.

Through this procedure, it is possible to reduce excessive exposure of the inner corner, improve the balance between the eyes, and achieve a softer and more harmonious overall look. However, since this is a revision surgery, the extent of correction depends on the condition of the skin and the amount of remaining tissue.

After the procedure, temporary swelling and bruising may occur, and time is needed for the scar to fully stabilize. It is also important to note that inner corner restoration is more complex than primary surgery.

A thorough consultation with a specialist is recommended before deciding on the procedure.
