Epicanthoplasty Revision - Publication of Research Paper on Epicanthal Fold Reconstruction
Dr. Lee's research on epicanthoplasty revision using V-Y advancement and turnover flaps has been published in a prestigious American medical journal.
My recent research paper regarding ‘epicanthoplasty revision’ has been published in a prestigious American medical journal.
Since patients seeking ‘epicanthoplasty revision’ are often already under significant stress from previous procedures, ‘epicanthoplasty reconstruction’ must be approached with extreme caution.
When the lacrimal caruncle (the pink inner corner) is excessively exposed after epicanthoplasty like this, it can create a harsh or fierce impression.
Submitting this paper is a great honor for me.
The title is ‘Reconstruction of medial epicanthal fold using v-y advancement and turnover flap’.
I actually presented a lecture on this technique to plastic surgery specialists at Severance Hospital back in 2014.
It seems it is finally coming to light now.
There are currently not many published papers regarding ‘epicanthoplasty revision’, including mine.
The source is as follows:

I am the corresponding author, which means I am the lead investigator responsible for the study.
The core of the surgery is to cover the lacrimal caruncle as much as possible while hiding existing scars, preventing re-deformation, and minimizing the creation of new scars.
Before surgery, 1 week after surgery, and 6 months after surgery.
