Should I get reconstruction or revision?
*Individual results may vary. Side effects such as bleeding, infection, and inflammation may occur after cosmetic surgery. Please consult your doctor.
“ Are canthoplasty and reconstruction different procedures? ”
Canthoplasty and reconstruction are both procedures that ideally correct the front and back shape of the eyes. They share the same surgical goals. Therefore, when undergoing canthoplasty or reconstruction surgery, you should choose a hospital with expertise in both procedures. “SISUN Canthoplasty & Reconstruction Lab” performs both canthoplasty and reconstruction surgery based on extensive surgical experience and expertise. After precisely identifying each patient's specific concerns, side effect correction + shape adjustment + size expansion + image improvement are comprehensively considered to perform reconstruction and canthoplasty surgery.

Depending on the degree of lacrimal lake exposure and inner eye corner shape,Epicanthoplasty Reconstruction(Axis Rotation) or Medial Epicanthoplasty, Upper Epicanthoplasty (45-degree Canthoplasty) Revision Surgery is performed.

[Re-Canthoplasty After Reconstruction] Medial Epicanthoplasty (Revision) (6 weeks)
Epicanthoplasty reconstruction inevitably makes the eyes appear smaller.Therefore, many patients fall into a vicious cycle of medial epicanthoplasty → reconstruction → medial epicanthoplasty again.To prevent this, a method of performing epicanthoplasty reconstruction and upper epicanthoplasty (45-degree canthoplasty) simultaneously was developed.This restores the inner eye corner to the originally desired ideal shape while preventing eye size reduction.

The inner eye corner angle and shape that determine beautiful eyes
The bent inner eye corner is straightened and the 45-degree angle is rounded to beautifully correct the inner eye corner shape while properly adjusting the degree of lacrimal lake exposure. This is SISUN's specialized surgical method.
If only the surface skin is reconstructed during epicanthoplasty reconstruction,the inner eye corner shape may distort or separate after surgery.To prevent this, a triple-layer reconstruction of ligament, muscle, and skin is performedwith meticulous surgery to ensure no distortion over time.
Since the skin around the eyes is very thin and sensitive,surgery is performed with minimal incisions toreduce concerns about post-surgical scarring.

Simultaneous inner eye corner side effect correction and double eyelid revision (crease lowering)is available as an advanced procedure.

In cases where the inner eye corner was excessively reconstructed due to improper epicanthoplasty reconstruction,re-canthoplasty is performed to properly expose the lacrimal lake whilecorrecting rounded inner eye corners (frog eyes) to a natural pointed shape.

[Over-Reconstruction] Medial Epicanthoplasty (Revision)(2 months)
If medial epicanthoplasty or upper epicanthoplasty (45-degree canthoplasty) is performed too aggressively,not only will the lacrimal lake be excessively exposed, but shape distortion and scarring may occur.Therefore, the most important aspect during surgery isproperly exposing the lacrimal lake while correcting the inner eye corner shape.

In cases where the inner eye corner has a hook shape after medial epicanthoplasty or upper epicanthoplasty,hook-shaped canthoplasty or zero-mm canthoplasty isapplied to achieve the ideal shape.

After lateral canthoplasty or lower eyelid surgery, if square shape (unnatural shape), conjunctiva exposure, or insufficient effect occurs,Lateral Canthoplasty Reconstruction or Lateral Canthoplasty, Lower Eyelid Surgery Revision Surgery is performed.

Lateral canthoplasty reconstruction inevitably makes the eyes appear smaller.Therefore, many patients fall into a vicious cycle of lateral canthoplasty → reconstruction → lateral canthoplasty again.To prevent this, a method of performing lateral canthoplasty reconstruction and lower eyelid surgery simultaneously was developed.This restores the outer eye corner to the originally desired ideal shape while preventing eye size reduction.

While resolving the unnatural outer eye corner shape and conjunctiva exposure,the under-eye line is gently opened to expand the eye size.This is SISUN's specialized surgical method for creating a softer eye appearance.

Lateral Canthoplasty Reconstruction+Lower Eyelid Surgery
The most important point of lateral canthoplasty reconstruction and revision surgery isthe shape and angle of the outer eye corner.Square/C-shapes and uneven shapes are corrected to a pointed “>” shape whileprecisely adjusting the eye angle to achieve dramatic results with a natural eye appearance.
Lateral Canthoplasty Reconstruction+Lower Eyelid Surgery (Revision)(3 months)
Rather than simply making a straight-line incision and suturing during lateral canthoplasty or lower eyelid surgery,the tissue is anchored to the periosteum and capsulopalpebral fascia, providing strong fixation.There is no concern about the lateral canthoplasty re-adhering or the lower eyelid surgery loosening.

Lateral Canthoplasty + Lower Eyelid Surgery
If lateral canthoplasty or lower eyelid surgery is performed too aggressively,side effects such as square/C-shape distortion or conjunctiva exposure may occur.We precisely assess how much adjustment is possible based on each individual's eye structure.Dramatic eye enlargement without side effects is achievable.

Due to improper medial epicanthoplasty, the lacrimal lake is excessively exposed, orInner eye corner has a sharp hook shape, or scarhas occurred.By repositioning the skin, muscle, and ligaments, the inner eye corner is restored to its optimal shape.

Cases where previous medial epicanthoplasty had no canthoplasty effect,or cases desiring re-canthoplasty due to over-reconstruction,or cases dissatisfied with the inner eye corner shape.
Medial epicanthoplasty was performedbut had no effect
After epicanthoplasty reconstruction,cases of over-reconstruction
If the outer eye corner has become a square or “C” shape, or red scarring occurred due to conjunctiva exposure,or where the line is not smooth and unnatural, the ligament and conjunctiva layers are returned to their original positionto improve scarring and mucosal exposure.
