What is the best way to open the inner canthus? The process of inner canthus opening surgery

Eyes are the windows to the soul. A pair of beautiful eyes will add a lot to our overall appearance. Eye plastic surgery has always been the most popular plastic surgery in plastic surgery hospitals, and inner canthus opening is a procedure that many people have undergone.

There is actually no absolute conclusion on the question of which method is best for inner canthus opening. Because the method of inner canthus opening is mainly determined by the eye condition of the patient. Since the degree of epicanthus may be different for each patient, choosing the appropriate method of inner canthus opening according to the severity of the epicanthus can achieve better results. In addition, each doctor is proficient in using different methods of inner canthus opening, so there is no single answer to "which method is best for inner canthus opening". It is unreasonable to choose the method of inner canthus opening without considering the patient's own conditions and the doctor's technical level.

1. The process of epicanthoplasty surgery: face-to-face consultation with the doctor

Let's learn about the inner canthus opening surgery process through the process of an inner canthus opening surgery combined with double eyelid surgery of a beauty seeker (alias Xiao Z). Before starting the inner canthus opening surgery, the doctor first needs to have a face-to-face consultation with the beauty seeker to confirm the specific eye problem. The main problem of the beauty seeker is that he has severe epicanthus, and he needs to have an inner canthus opening operation.

2. Line design during epicanthoplasty surgery

Since Xiao Z has moderate epicanthus, precise canthus opening line design is required to ensure the maximum opening size of the inner canthus during the operation.

3. Anesthesia during epicanthoplasty

The surgery of epicanthoplasty uses local anesthesia. Because during the operation, the patient needs to cooperate with the doctor to open and close the eyes, so sleep anesthesia is generally not used. But babies can rest assured that even with local anesthesia, there will be no pain during the operation.

4. Canthoplasty surgery: cutting the canthus

Xiao Z had a double eyelid surgery combined with canthoplasty. When the operation was officially performed, the first thing to be performed was the canthoplasty operation, because the doctor needed to determine the final shape and width of the double eyelids based on the angle of the canthoplasty.

5. Suturing during epicanthoplasty

After the canthus opening and double eyelid opening work is completed, the doctor needs to use skilled techniques to suture the canthus opening incision and the double eyelid opening incision. The suture by the doctor with poor experience will not be so seamless, which directly determines whether the mark will be visible after your canthus opening recovery.

6. Postoperative effects of epicanthoplasty surgery

After the suturing, the effect of the inner canthus opening can be seen. This is the effect of Xiao Z's inner canthus opening. As expected, the eyes are much bigger than before. The effect should be better after the swelling subsides.

Single Z-plasty is suitable for people:

1. Mild epicanthus or cicatricial epicanthus. 2. Those with normal psychology, reasonable requirements, and the ability to correctly understand the possible skin scars caused by surgery.

Operation method: routine facial disinfection and draping, local infiltration anesthesia, design a Z-shaped modified incision line according to the direction of the epicanthus, cut the skin to form two flaps, release the subcutaneous orbicularis oculi muscle bundle, and cross-suture the flap.

Note: 1. Take oral anti-inflammatory drugs after surgery. 2. Do not allow the incision to come into contact with water before removing the stitches to avoid infection. 3. Remove the stitches after four days.

The four-flap method for correcting epicanthus is suitable for the following people:

1. Severe epicanthus or cicatricial epicanthus. 2. Mentally normal, with reasonable requirements, and who can correctly understand the possible skin scars caused by surgery.

Operation method: routine facial disinfection and draping, local infiltration anesthesia. According to the design principle of Mo's surgery, draw the incision line, form four flaps, release the subcutaneous orbicularis oculi muscle bundle, and cross-suture the flaps.

Side effects of canthoplasty

1. Opening the inner canthus may cause scarring sequelae

Some fairies will have obvious scars after inner canthus opening. In fact, this is related to the direction and angle of the doctor's incision. The greater the angle of incision, the more the dermis is damaged, and the more obvious the scar will be. In addition, the doctor's suturing technology is low, or the suturing materials used in the hospital are poor, which will affect the obviousness of the inner canthus opening scar. Only in a regular plastic surgery hospital, with rich clinical experience, skilled medical skills and a sense of responsibility, can we try to avoid this dangerous sequelae of inner canthus opening.

2. The sequelae of long recovery time of inner canthus scar

Some girls will find that the recovery period of the inner canthus opening scar is relatively long after the inner canthus opening surgery. In fact, this is determined by the characteristics of our body recovery. Generally, the scar will soften after 3-6 months, and the color will gradually return to normal. This is the sequelae of inner canthus opening that all doctors will face. Only by properly hiding the inner canthus opening scar can the impact of the scar sequelae on the appearance of the eyes be minimized.

3. Canthoplasty may cause sequelae of strange appearance

If the doctor does not combine the aesthetic foundation of the three-thirds and five-eyes with the patient's facial features before the inner canthus opening, then the inner canthus opening may also lead to weird or unnatural sequelae. Or if the patient insists on having an exaggerated inner canthus effect, it may also lead to sequelae of poor appearance. Only when the patient and the doctor cooperate well, set a reasonable and acceptable plan, and then have a professional doctor implement it scientifically according to the plan, can the sequelae of weird appearance after the inner canthus opening be avoided.

4. Opening the inner canthus may cause sequelae of continuous tearing

Some fairies have sequelae of continuous tears after inner canthus opening, which is actually a symptom of tear duct rupture. The inner canthus of the eye has delicate anatomical structures. If the plastic surgeon is a quack doctor who is not familiar with these eye structures when opening the inner canthus, he may accidentally damage many important tissues, causing the sequelae of tear duct rupture after inner canthus opening surgery. To avoid this, those who seek beauty must undergo standardized inner canthus opening surgery in a regular hospital.

5. Opening the inner canthus may cause infection

When you have an inner canthus surgery, you should also know that there are also complications of infection. The reason for this is that the doctor did not completely disinfect the area during the operation, or the patient did not take proper care of the patient after the operation (including not cleaning the eye when there is secretion and oil in the corner of the eye). If the eye is abnormal during the recovery process after the inner canthus surgery, you need to see a doctor immediately.

6. Epicanthoplasty may lead to sequelae of skin flap necrosis

The surgery may also cause the sequelae of double eyelid flap necrosis. This happens because some doctors do not have sufficient experience in the surgery and hold the flap for too long when pulling it, causing trauma to the eye flap. Or the doctor opens the flap at too small an angle, causing ischemia and making it difficult for the flap to survive. The sequelae of flap necrosis can easily cause new scars, and because of the special nature of the skin at the corner of the eye, the scar sequelae caused by this risk of flap necrosis are difficult to repair.
