Dr. Sung Jin-mo of Cheongdam FIRST | Inner Canthoplasty Revision

Project Overview

Many patients who have undergone initial inner canthoplasty experience issues such as sharp, grotesque eye corners, hypertrophic and raised scars, retraction of the eye corners, asymmetry between the eyes, excessive tension and pulling at the corners, and overly exposed redness. Ordinary surgeons often struggle to manage complex scar adhesions in the eye area. Dr. Sung Jin-mo of Cheongdam FIRST has dedicated years to eye revision surgery, offering customized revision plans for various complications from failed inner canthoplasty. His approach readjusts the shape of the inner eye corners, releases scar-induced tension, and restores a soft, natural, and original eye contour, effectively resolving all post-surgical dissatisfactions.

Core Technical Advantages

1. Release Scar Adhesions to Eliminate Tightness and Pulling Sensation

   Precisely dissect scar tissue formed by previous surgeries layer by layer to relieve skin tension at the eye corners, eliminate difficulty in opening the eyes, and remove the sensation of foreign body pulling. This restores normal eyelid movement space and improves sequelae such as distorted eye corners due to pulling, light sensitivity, and discomfort.

2. Fade and Revise Scars for Concealed, Invisible Results

   Precisely excise raised and hypertrophic scars using layered tension-relieving cosmetic suturing. Incisions are hidden within the natural folds of the eye corners. After healing, scars fade without whitening or protrusion, leaving no visible marks when eyes are closed, bidding farewell to unsightly scarring.

3. Reshape Soft Eye Corners, Rejecting Sharp "Internet Celebrity" Points

   Readjust the size and curvature of the eye corners based on facial proportions. Retract over-opened eye corners to create a round, natural deer-eye appearance. Avoid sharp, fierce-looking corners and excessive exposure of red flesh, ensuring overall eye harmony and gentleness with no artificial or incongruous feel.

4. Minimally Invasive with Low Trauma for Lighter Swelling and Faster Recovery

   Perform precise operations while avoiding capillaries around the eyes, resulting in minimal intraoperative bleeding. Post-operative bruising and swelling are significantly lower than traditional revision surgeries, with a shorter消肿 cycle, allowing patients to resume normal social activities quickly.

5. Correct Asymmetrical Eyes with Precise Symmetry Control

   Accurately measure the length of the palpebral fissures and the vertical position of the eye corners on both sides. Balance the morphology of both eye corners to correct discrepancies in length and height, achieving uniform and symmetrical eye lines for more harmonious facial features.

Suitable Candidates for Revision

1. Sharp eye corners with severe redness exposure after inner canthoplasty, appearing fierce and uncoordinated
2. Hypertrophic, raised, and whitened scars that are highly visible and difficult to conceal
3. Retraction of eye corners post-surgery, reverting to the original epicanthal fold, rendering the procedure ineffective
4. Asymmetrical eye corners where one eye appears larger than the other, causing imbalance in eye shape
5. Tight and stretched skin at the eye corners, making it difficult to open the eyes and causing strong foreign body discomfort
6. Dislike exaggerated "internet celebrity" sharp points; desire a natural, round, and original inner eye corner

For high-difficulty specialized inner canthoplasty revision, Dr. Sung Jin-mo provides one-on-one anatomical reshaping. He releases old scars, repairs hypertrophy, and adjusts the curvature of the eye corners to achieve invisible scarring, minimal swelling, and rapid recovery, correcting various failures from initial inner canthoplasty and restoring soft, lively, and naturally perfect large eyes.
