V-Y Advancement Flap
V–Y Advancement Flap Technique for Epicanthoplasty Revision
Determining the appropriate degree of restoration and minimizing expected surgical scarring are the key principles of epicanthoplasty revision.
The V–Y advancement flap technique involves making a V-shaped incision and then closing it by advancing both sides of the V upward, as if zipping it shut. This transforms the V shape into a Y shape, helping to restore the inner corner of the eye.

Who may need epicanthoplasty revision?

What is the V–Y advancement flap technique?
It is a method that uses a V-shaped incision and then closes it by advancing both sides upward so the V becomes a Y, helping restore the inner corner of the eye while focusing on the right degree of restoration and minimizing expected scarring.
What results can I expect from epicanthoplasty revision?
The procedure is described as restoring a soft, natural eye shape, reducing excessive inner eye exposure, refining scarring and the inner eye line, improving asymmetry, and creating a softer, clearer impression.
Will my eyes look smaller after epicanthoplasty revision?
If a large amount of correction is done, the eyes may appear slightly smaller. However, when the degree of restoration is properly adjusted to match the proportions of the eyes, the overall balance and structure can look more natural and refined rather than simply smaller.
Will the revision leave a lot of scars?
The amount of scarring depends on the revision method and the individual case. Minor scarring may remain depending on the extent of correction, but the procedure is performed with techniques intended to minimize scarring, so significant scarring is described as unlikely.
