“…Third, skin closure has to be undergone without tension, and additional sutures for repairing the inner layer are not needed. 24 When an epicanthoplasty is excessively performed, there can be multiple unwanted results: eyes can look closer together, the inner mucosa and lacrimal lake can be exposed, facial expression can be aggressive, eyes can look sunken, or there can be added scars on the medial epicanthal area. In such patients, surgery to restore the exposed part is required, but no clear restoration surgery has yet been reported.…”

Since Mikamo developed the double blepharoplasty technique at the end of the 19th century, there has been significant developments in the idealized periorbital appearance of the Asian patient. Currently there are four potential vectors of change possible (upper, lower, medial, and lateral). South Korea is the only country that most often utilizes the change in all four vectors. There is additionally a stark contrast between Asia-based and Western-based approach to the Asian eyes. In Asia, outside of South Korea, many surgeries employ a combined vertical upward vector and a medial directional change, particularly for the young eyes. In Western-based approaches, Asian blepharoplasty remains at this time primarily an open incision, upward vector change.
