Will medial epicanthoplasty leave a scar?

In general, inner canthoplasty, also known as epicanthoplasty, is a common cosmetic procedure aimed at improving the appearance of the eyes, making them look larger and more expressive. There is a possibility of scarring after inner canthoplasty, but this depends on individual physical characteristics, surgical techniques, and post-operative care.

Everyone's skin heals differently; some individuals may develop more noticeable scars, while others may heal better with barely visible scarring. Professional plastic surgeons use precise surgical techniques and high-quality suture materials to minimize scar formation during inner canthoplasty. Improper surgical procedures or poor suturing techniques may increase the visibility of scars. Appropriate post-operative care can promote wound healing and reduce scar formation. Inadequate post-operative care, such as getting the wound wet too early or infection, may lead to hypertrophic scarring or more visible scars.

It should be noted that although modern plastic surgery techniques are quite advanced, any incision may leave some degree of scarring. It is recommended to choose a reputable plastic surgery hospital and an experienced plastic surgeon for the procedure, and to follow proper post-operative care instructions.
