Is It Possible to Reverse Epicanthoplasty?

Sometimes, the inner corners of the eyes may appear unnatural after an epicanthoplasty procedure.  In such cases, patients who had the surgery elsewhere may have questions about the possibility of a corrective procedure to restore the eyes to their original appearance. Excessive epicanthoplasty can be addressed through a reconstructive epicanthoplasty.  This procedure not only repositions the skin but also adjusts the inner tissues of the eye corners.  However, it's important to note that fully restoring the original epicanthal fold shape can be challenging. Instead, it primarily enhances the appearance of the Mongolian crease rather than reverting the inner corners of the eyes to their pre-surgery state. Prior to considering a revision surgery, it is essential to have a comprehensive consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss your options.

Epicanthus can be improved by the reconstruction surgery.  In case of a reconstruction surgery, not only the external skin but also the inner tissues of the inner corners of the eyes can be revised. However, it is difficult to restore the previous shape of an epicanthal fold with the Epicanthoplasty revision surgery.  It improves the appearance mongolian crease rather than restores the inner corners of the eyes to their pre-operative state. It is important to consider getting a Revision surgery after a thorough consultation with your plastic surgeon. #s...
