The restoring/reverse surgery of Epicanthal (Mongolian) folds (reconstruction of the inner corner of Asian eyes)

 

After one takes epicanthoplasty with the removal of the Mongolian fold, the eyes might look awkward than before, or one may want to go back to the previous look when he/she had a scar. When the eyes look severe, it is actually because of the complication caused by poor surgical experience and techniques.

When a scar is largely remained, it is mostly caused by the surgical line. In cases like these, the removal of the Mongolian fold was not done effectively and caused only a negative change on the eyes.

When one wants to undergo the restoring surgery, it must be understood that it cannot be recovered like before completely, and it may not give you the best results. If you would like the restore your Mongolian folds, it would be better to improve them properly by the Magic epicanthoplasty with restoring damaged structure of the inner corner of your eyes. Then, this can produce desirable results with natural eye appearance.

Simple restoration of the Mongolian fold make the inner corner of the eyes look as if closed. In fact, many of the patients who have undertaken the restoring method are undertaking the epicanthoplasty again.

The aim of this surgery is to give improvement and recover the structure of the inner corner of the eyes, and improve a previously remaining scar.

What is epicanthoplasty (removal of Mongolian folds)?

1.What is epicanthoplasty (removal of Mongolian folds)?

 

A Mongolian fold, which is a physical characteristic of the Northeast Asian Mongoloid races, is the thick skin that droops down, connecting the upper eyelid with the lower eyelid. Epicanthoplasty is the name of the operation that removes Mongolian folds that cover the inner corner of your eyes, so that your eyes look more opened and become more refined and bigger.

For those who have a wide distance between eyes or has small eyes, or looks severe because of inclination of the inner corner of your eyes by a Mongolian fold, then epicanthoplasty is necessary.

When it is performed with a double eyelid surgery at the same time, the actual horizontal length of eyes can be extended and the interepicanthal distance will also be narrowed. After all, attractive and refined double eyelids will be created by improvement of the Mongolian folds.

 

2.What is Magic epicanthoplasty?

 

 

 

Magic epicanthoplasty(Kwon’ method) is a unique method of surgery in removing Mongolian folds, and is the surgery to be first founded by Teuim plastic surgery in 2004.

Unlike conventional methods, Magic epicanthoplasty primarily releases the tension band and leads to the redistribution of the eyelid skin naturally without the removal of the skin while maintaining the original anatomical relationships.

Therefore, it is a completely new technique first made by Dr. Bongsik Kwon. This method is called the Magic epicanthoplasty. With good reports and reputations by people who have already undertaken this, it is becoming a term that is commonly used in Korea and in many other countries.

Also, it is even used among many other surgeons as a term for their operation methods of simulative epicanthoplasties. To perform Magic epicanthoplasty, a surgeon needs plentiful experiences and extreme carefulness to create optimal results. Teuim plastic surgery have more than 5000 cases of magic epicanthoplasty alone or combined double eyelid surgeries.
