What Should You Consider If You Need Double Eyelid Revision Surgery?

Hello.

This is Vibe Plastic Surgery.

​

​

Double eyelid surgery is

so common that it's easy to find people around us

who have already had it or are planning to.

It is a frequently performed surgery,

and the procedure is relatively simple.

However, all surgeries can be accompanied by side effects.

Double eyelid surgery can also have side effects.

​

​

When looking at cases of double eyelid surgery side effects,

there are many different types.

Among them, the most common issue

is known as "sausage eyes" (thick, puffy folds).

Other issues include asymmetrical double eyelids,

loosened folds, upturned eyelashes,

and uncorrected ptosis (drooping eyelids).

Let's take a look at how to resolve

these various side effects.

​

​

- Sausage Eyes (Thick Folds)

The double eyelid line must be lowered

to improve it into a natural-looking fold.

The adhesions of the excessively high or deep line must be released,

and the line should be appropriately repositioned

according to the shape of the eyes.

​

- Asymmetrical Double Eyelids

Revision is required to create a double eyelid line

that matches your desired eye shape.

This occurs when the height of the folds is actually different,

or when the height is the same but the eye sizes differ.

The shape of the eyes must be closely analyzed

to perform surgery with the appropriate size.

​

- Loosened Double Eyelids

The cause of the loosening must be analyzed

to determine the most suitable method.

This happens when the fixation of the double eyelid line is weak.

Surgery should be performed considering a method suitable

for the skin thickness and fat amount.

​

- Upturned Eyelashes

The previous correction must be released,

and ptosis correction should be performed.

If ptosis is overcorrected more than necessary,

it can cause the eyelashes to turn upwards.

The previous overcorrection must be released, and ptosis correction

should be performed again to an appropriate degree.

​

- Uncorrected Ptosis

The eye-opening muscle strength must be corrected

to build a natural line.

If only the double eyelid line is created without correcting ptosis,

the eyes may still look sleepy after surgery.

Therefore, ptosis correction that adjusts the eye-opening strength

is needed to make the line look natural.

​

​

For double eyelid revision surgery,

it is generally recommended to wait

about 6 months after the primary surgery.

However, since the timing can vary,

sufficient consultation with the medical staff is necessary.

​

Acute Phase Revision Surgery

Acute phase revision surgery, which corrects side effects

occurring right after surgery, is performed within 1-2 weeks,

and it is best to operate as soon as possible.

However, since the eyes often settle and improve gradually

after the swelling goes down,

thorough consultation with the medical staff is required.

​

Stabilization Phase Revision Surgery

Generally, revision surgery is recommended

after about 6 months of progress,

but if recovery is fast and the tissues have stabilized,

it can be performed before 6 months in consultation with the medical staff.

​

General Revision Surgery

This can be performed when more than 6 months have passed

since the eye surgery, and the patient's surgical scars

and skin tissues have completely stabilized.

Since the surgical results are typically evaluated

after 6 months post-surgery,

it is often performed as a late-stage revision.

​

However, if you experience pain or side effects

severe enough to disrupt your daily life immediately,

please visit the clinic right away for a consultation.

“Eye Revision Surgery Process Check”

​

- Systematic Analysis of the Cause of Failure

For eye revision surgery, you should prioritize

choosing a place that can accurately identify

the exact cause of failure

from the first surgery.

This is because the surgery must be performed

with full consideration of the incorrect cause of the primary surgery

and the individual's eye condition, and it requires a method

that corrects the problems with the eye shape and double eyelid

caused by the first surgery before fixing the lacking areas.

​

- 1:1 Customized Consultation with the Chief Surgeon

You should choose a place where a 1:1 customized consultation

with medical staff who have rich clinical experience is possible.

​

- Clean Restoration from Existing Adhesions

It must be able to meticulously dissect the adhered line from the previous surgery

and restore it to its original state to create a foundation

for cleanly setting a new line.

​

- Creation of a New Line that Meets the Goal

It must be able to perform delicate and precise surgery

to create the desired line according to the goal

agreed upon through in-depth consultation.
