Is there any risk associated with eye corner surgery?
Disease description:
I want to get double eyelid surgery. After consulting at a plastic surgery clinic, the doctor recommended that I also have eye corner augmentation. I'd like to know if there are any risks associated with eye corner surgery?
Epicanthoplasty carries certain risks. This procedure involves making an incision at the corner of the eye and re-suturing excess skin and tissue to widen the eye opening, resulting in a larger, more aesthetically pleasing appearance. If improperly performed, the surgery may fail and lead to complications such as uneven eye size, misaligned eye levels, or local tissue infection.
