How Many Times Can You Get Eye Revision Surgery? Let's Find Out!

Hello.

This is Vibe Plastic Surgery.

​

​

Because eye surgery is a more

popularized procedure compared to other plastic surgeries,

there are also many cases of revision surgery.

​

For those who are planning to get eye surgery

or those who are considering a revision,

one of the biggest concerns is

exactly how many times revision surgery is possible.

Let's find out about this today.

​

​

The causes for revision surgery are truly diverse.

​

01. When the double eyelid crease loosens

after natural adhesion or non-incisional methods

​

02. When you are simply dissatisfied with the crease line

​

03. In cases of double eyelid surgery side effects

- When the double eyelid crease is too high

- When the left and right double eyelids are asymmetrical in size

- When the eyelashes are lifted (eyelash eversion)

- When ptosis has not been properly corrected

​

​

Among the causes of revision surgery,

the one that accounts for the largest percentage

is dissatisfaction with the double eyelid line.

​

The reason for this is that usually, when getting eye surgery,

many people proceed with the surgery

based on the trendy eye shapes of the time,

without considering their own eye condition and various factors.

​

Rather than following a trendy style,

we recommend getting eye surgery

in a style that suits your own eyes.

​

​

Why do double eyelids loosen?

​

The most common cause

is in individuals with weak eye-opening muscle strength.

Because double eyelids are created

by the strength used to open the eyes,

if this strength is weak, the crease is bound to loosen easily.

​

In such cases, an additional procedure called ptosis correction must be performed

for the line to appear clearly and satisfactorily.

​

​

After natural adhesion or the burial method,

if you are simply dissatisfied with the line,

it is entirely possible to perform the surgery again

using a non-incisional method to match the new line.

​

However, if the double eyelid line has loosened,

eye surgery must proceed

after accurately identifying the reason why the line loosened.

​

​

If the crease loosened because the skin is thick and there is a lot of fat,

there is a high probability that it will loosen again

if the surgery is performed using a non-incisional method.

​

Therefore, in such cases,

satisfactory revision surgery results can be achieved

only when an incision is made to sufficiently remove

the interfering factors that cause the line to loosen,

along with the removal of excess fat.

​

​

The number of times revision surgery can be done

is not simply a matter of 'differences in surgical methods,'

but rather, there is a separate important factor.

​

The key point is that eye surgery must proceed

after accurately assessing

your current eye condition.

​

​

There is no set limit to the number of revision surgeries.

Incisional surgery is a double eyelid procedure

where the eyelid is incised and sutured to create a line.

Because the skin becomes thinner and

the available skin tissue decreases with each revision,

you must proceed after a thorough consultation

with the medical staff before undergoing revision surgery.

​

​

If there is enough skin available,

it is possible to have multiple revision surgeries as desired.

​

However, no matter how many times revision surgery is possible,

you cannot continue doing it indefinitely.

Therefore, it is important to establish a proper plan

and proceed with the eye surgery correctly the first time.

​

​

Usually, the timing for revision surgery

is largely divided into two categories:

early correction and late correction.

​

What is early correction?

When correction needs to be done early on,

meaning if the asymmetry is too severe

or if there are other side effects that require immediate correction,

and if leaving it as is to settle

would cause significant stress,

early correction can be performed within 2 weeks

after consulting with the medical staff.

​

What is late correction?

Considering the process of scars fully healing after eye surgery,

when the procedure is performed after observing for about 6 months,

it is called late correction.

​

For eye surgery, doing the first surgery well

is the most basic and important thing,

but you may consider revision surgery for various reasons.

Eye revision surgery may not be as burdensome

as you might worry,

so we recommend having a thorough consultation with our medical staff.
