Question

Went to Korea to get revision eyelid surgery, but got talked into epicanthoplasty & lateral Canthoplasty Missing sharp edges for my eyes and the shape of my eyes. Is there anyway to improve this? And will be become less rounded, the inner corners? Is this the final look? Can this be reversed?

Kenneth D. Steinsapir, MD · Answer

I have seen and had amazing results with epicanthoplasty. However, it is unpredictable.  When it goes bad, it is impossible to reverse and very difficult to improve. Flat out, I will tell you that it can't be reverse and don't get talked into trying to reverse it. A well meaning surgeon may try but the risk of aesthetic harm is significant. I do think the upper eyelid creases could be lowered and the outer canthal corners appear to be placed too high. You have a compensatory eyebrow elevation that suggests that you have a central partial levator disinsertion ptosis. Repairing that can be helpful to reframing the upper eyelid fold and improving the almond shape of the eyes. There is simply no substitute for a detailed in person assessment. In addition to lash extensions, are you using a lash grow serum? If so, you should stop that immediately as it is harmful to the eyelid. Your eyes can be your best feature
