Excessive inner canthoplasty often disrupts the natural epicanthal fold, exposes the lacrimal caruncle, and creates an unnaturally sharp or over-opened appearance.
In many cases, the problem lies not in the size of the opening itself, but in loss of normal medial canthal anatomy and imbalance of tissue tension caused by scarring.
Dr. Ahn approaches inner canthus revision as a restorative procedure, not an attempt to “close” or reverse prior surgery.
Correction focuses on respecting delicate medial canthal anatomy while restoring functional balance—through careful scar release, tissue realignment, and recreation of a natural epicanthal contour.
The goal is a medial canthus that appears soft and anatomically appropriate, functions comfortably during blinking and tear drainage, and remains stable over time—without aggressive closure or distortion.
