Want a reverse epicanthoplasty on one eye to make inner corners symmetrical, is it possible? (Photo)

Question

Is it possible to make both the medial canthus look the same after reconstruction? I got an epicanthoplasty on one eye and it was over corrected. I'm unhappy with the asymmetry & want to get them to look the same

Kenneth D. Steinsapir, MD · Answer

One of the reasons I do not recommend aggressive epicentral surgery, is the challenge of controlling a surgery that is so visible when it do goes wrong. There is no surgery that erases these type of issues. A well meaning surgeon may try to do something for you but I would caution you from pursuing that work. You will simply be getting experimented on. The risk of visible scaring and a much worse outcome is simply far too high. I would also not advocate further surgery on the opposite side to further extend the epicanthal fold.
