What Is Medial Canthoplasty Revision?

Correcting an inner corner that no longer suits the face.

Revision surgery addresses concerns that may occur after a prior medial canthoplasty, such as excessive opening of the inner corner, asymmetry, visible scarring, or an eye shape that no longer harmonizes with the rest of the face. Treatment is individualized according to the patient's anatomy and previous surgical changes — which is why the emphasis is on personalized design rather than simple closure.

Treatment Principles

What guides a revision plan.

	What it means in practice
Restoration of natural proportions	The aim is balanced eye proportions, not simply reversing the previous opening
Personalized design	Design is individualized rather than a standard closure technique
Careful tissue preservation	Remaining tissue is preserved because revision works with altered anatomy
Microscopic technique	Meticulous, delicate microsurgical technique in a small, scarred area
Three-layer restoration	Skin, muscle, and soft tissue are addressed as layers rather than surface alone

Revision works with previously altered anatomy and scar tissue, so some concerns may be improved rather than completely eliminated. Individualized planning based on the previous surgery is essential.

Potential Benefits

What revision aims to improve.

Improved Eye Symmetry

Asymmetry between the eyes may be addressed.

Softer Inner Eye Contour

Reduced Scar Visibility

Scar visibility may be reduced through careful release and closure.

Personalized Revision Strategy

The plan is built around your anatomy and previous surgery.

Better Facial Harmony

Eye shape is restored in relation to overall facial harmony.

Who May Benefit?

Candidates are evaluated individually.

Revision may be appropriate if you

Frequently Asked

Inner Corner Revision in Busan
questions.

Why might medial canthoplasty revision be needed?

Revision addresses concerns that may occur after a prior medial canthoplasty, such as excessive opening of the inner corner, asymmetry, visible scarring, or an eye shape that no longer harmonizes with the rest of the face.

Can overcorrection be improved?

Patients who feel the inner corner was overcorrected may be candidates for revision. The goal is not simply to close the opening but to recreate balanced eye proportions while preserving a natural appearance.

Will existing scars be revised?

The procedure includes careful release and repositioning of scar tissue as needed, and reduced visibility of scars is one of the potential benefits. What can be achieved depends on your existing scarring and tissue.

How long is recovery?

Temporary swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort are expected during early healing, and recovery varies according to the extent of revision surgery. Patients receive individualized postoperative care instructions and scheduled follow-up visits.

Can revision be combined with other eyelid procedures?

Combined procedures are considered in some patients depending on anatomy, previous surgery, and goals. Whether a combination is appropriate can only be determined after a comprehensive assessment.

What is the three-layer restoration concept?

It refers to restoring skin, muscle, and soft tissue as layers rather than treating the surface alone — an approach used alongside delicate microsurgical technique in revision surgery.

How is a revision plan made?

The procedure begins with a comprehensive assessment of the previous surgery, followed by a customized revision design based on your anatomy and the surgical changes already made.

Can revision fully restore my original eye shape?

Revision works with previously altered anatomy and scar tissue, so some concerns may be improved rather than completely eliminated. Your surgeon should explain what is realistically achievable in your case.

Is revision more delicate than the original surgery?

Revision is performed in a small area with altered tissue and scarring, which is why careful tissue preservation and meticulous microsurgical technique are emphasized.

Considering Inner Corner Revision in Busan?

Start with an
assessment of your previous surgery.

Because revision works with anatomy that has already been changed, planning begins with a comprehensive assessment of the previous procedure. Bring your surgical records if you have them.
