How to repair eye corner failure

Everyone loves beauty. In order to become beautiful, many people now use plastic surgery to repair their congenital deficiencies. Some people will open their eyes or have double eyelids, while others will have bone cutting bracelets, nose surgery and other means to make themselves beautiful. Opening the eyes is relatively simple, but if the eyes are not done well, not only will it not make you beautiful, but it will also make you look disfigured, and the operation will be very painful.

Canthoplasty surgery can improve the problem of small eyes. Canthoplasty is divided into inner canthus opening and outer canthus opening. The incision is hidden, either overlapping with skin folds or hidden in the shadow of the sunken corner of the eye. Canthoplasty surgery will leave no traces, so you don’t need to worry about your appearance and it will not harm your eyes.

Canthoplasty is used to correct microphthalmia. The medial and lateral canthi must be enlarged. If necessary, medial canthal ligament fixation is required to correct widening of the orbital distance, or ptosis correction surgery is also required. Congenital microphthalmia has narrow palpebral fissures, severe epicanthus, and is often combined with widened medial canthal distance and ptosis, so surgery needs to be performed in several sessions. The best time to do surgery is before school age, when the nasal bones have developed gradually and the appearance, especially the distance between the inner canthus, may be improved.

The personalized overall eye shape of canthoplasty is a differentiated plastic surgery based on the patient's temperament and individual conditions. It does not simply copy the patient's appearance based on a certain standard, but reflects personal charm through subtle differences in plastic surgery, and is good at sculpting the patient's charm. The surgeon in charge must have extremely high artistic accomplishment and taste in order to be able to unearth the unique personality and temperament of the patient, so you must choose a regular hospital.

However, after the canthoplasty surgery, postoperative care is very important. You need a quiet and comfortable environment to recuperate. Do not watch TV or read newspapers for two weeks after the surgery. It is best to rest in a semi-recumbent position in bed to avoid excessive eye fatigue or too low a head position which may aggravate the swelling of the wound. Moreover, the wound may be a little painful on the day of surgery, but it will gradually disappear. Don't rush to take painkillers, because aspirin-like drugs will aggravate wound bleeding.

Although canthoplasty surgery can realize the dream of having big eyes, it may fail. If it fails, it must be repaired in time to achieve the ideal effect. Repairing failed canthoplasty is a rather tricky issue. So, in what situations does it require repairing failed canthoplasty?

Methods/Steps

1. The curvature and width of the inner 1/3 of the double eyelids are not ideal, and canthoplasty repair is required.

2. There are scars above and below the inner corners of the eyes. The cause is scarring caused by contracture, which requires repair of failed canthoplasty.

3. The tissue below the double eyelids is too thick (but the patient does not request a solution). The previous canthoplasty surgery did not thin the muscles in this area, so a failed canthoplasty repair is needed.

4. The eyes should be opened smaller (which means there is mild ptosis). Due to the skin shrinkage after the failed canthoplasty surgery, the downward pull of the skin is too great, and the skin holding the double eyelids cannot be opened, so canthoplasty repair is needed.

Principles of repairing failed canthoplasty

1. When designing the repair of failed canthoplasty, it is important to consider the direction of tension and choose the procedure based on that direction.

2. The innermost side of the inner canthus should not exceed the vertical line of the eyebrow, otherwise the two eyes will appear too close together.

3. The lacrimal caruncle should be exposed at most 2/3, otherwise the eyes will appear dull.

4. The design of the repair for failed canthoplasty should be slightly below the horizontal line of the long axis of both eyes, which will appear more natural.
