Hello~!

💛 your beauty universe! This is Uverse Plastic Surgery :) 💛

We have prepared the 14th Q&A session with Dr. Shim Jung-hwan! ❤

Today's topic is 'When performing double eyelid surgery and canthoplasty at the same time, is the swelling worse than doing double eyelid surgery alone?'

When performing epicanthoplasty and lower canthoplasty, does thin skin scar more easily than thick skin?

Generally, regardless of the area, thick skin tends to scar more easily and has a higher probability of developing hypertrophic or keloid scars.

Therefore, between someone with thick skin and someone with thin skin, the person with thick skin is more prone to scarring.

When performing lower canthoplasty alone, the surgery is done by making an incision on the inner conjunctiva rather than the outer skin,

so there will be no visible external scarring.

Did this answer your questions about scarring from epicanthoplasty and lower canthoplasty?!

Frequently Asked Questions

Is thin skin more prone to scarring during epicanthoplasty?

No, generally, thicker skin tends to scar more easily than thin skin, regardless of the body part. This is because thicker skin has a relatively higher chance of developing hypertrophic scars or keloid scars.

What kind of scars are more common with thick skin?

Thick skin has a higher chance of developing hypertrophic scars or keloid scars. Therefore, people with thicker skin are more likely to develop more prominent scars after surgery than those with thinner skin.

Does canthoplasty (lateral canthoplasty) alone leave external scars?

No, it does not leave visible external scars. When canthoplasty is performed alone, the incision is made through the conjunctiva on the inside of the eye, without cutting the outer skin, so there are no externally exposed scars.

Where is the incision made for canthoplasty?

The incision is made through the conjunctiva on the inside of the eye. One of the main features of canthoplasty alone is that there are no externally visible scars after surgery because the outer skin is not directly incised.
