Scars after eye surgery are the most common sequelae

Inner canthus incision, commonly known as canthoplasty surgery, is very popular among those who love beauty. Many people choose canthoplasty surgery to improve the shape of their eyes. However, sequelae are found after canthoplasty, among which scars at the corners of the eyes are one of the most common sequelae. Let us learn about it below.

One of the issues that people who want to be beautiful are most worried about is scars. Will canthoplasty surgery leave scars? The skin at the corner of the eye is very thin, and the incision scar after canthoplasty is objectively present, and it cannot be completely hidden in the double eyelid fold like double eyelid surgery.

Scars are marks left after the body's self-repair after skin damage. Any surgical incision, as long as the entire layer of skin is cut and reaches the dermis, will leave scars, and the growth of scars is a normal physiological process of wound healing.

Will the epicanthoplasty surgery leave scars? According to the basic principles of plastic surgery, part of the incision can be hidden in the double eyelid line and the eyelid edge, but part of the incision is exposed at the inner canthus. This scar can be seen within one to two months after the operation.

However, the scar after epicanthoplasty will become less and less obvious. What we need to do is to acknowledge it objectively and have enough patience to wait for its complete recovery.

When interviewing patients, most of them said that the first month or so after the epicanthoplasty would be a painful period for them. The scar on the inner canthus would be noticeably raised, hard to the touch, and might be itchy.

However, the scars will gradually fade and soften about three to six months after the operation. Although there is still a slight difference in color from normal tissue, the marks can be well hidden by applying foundation, so there is no need to worry about scars.
