Hello.
This is Vibe Plastic Surgery.
As the frequency of double eyelid surgeries increases these days,
the cases requiring double eyelid restoration surgery are also increasing.
Therefore, if you don't like your double eyelids,
whether you can undo them right away
is something many people might wonder about.
So today, regarding double eyelid restoration surgery,
we will look into it in detail.
In the early stages when there is swelling,
the line inevitably looks thicker than expected
and can give off an unnatural, burdensome feeling.
Therefore, after the swelling goes down
and the double eyelid settles into place,
you should determine whether revision surgery is necessary.
Usually, after about 4 to 6 months,
when the swelling has mostly subsided
and it has finally settled,
whether to undo the double eyelid or not
is when we recommend you make your decision.
Even if the swelling has sufficiently gone down
and you think it has settled,
if you are still unsatisfied,
planning a surgery to undo the double eyelid
might be necessary in some cases.
The Core of Double Eyelid Undoing Surgery
Like natural adhesion,
when a non-incisional method was used,
finding and removing the thread knots
can be considered the core of the surgery.
When surgery was done using the incisional method,
approaching through the existing incision scar,
removing all internal adhesions,
and re-correcting to the desired height
is the core of the double eyelid undoing surgery.
Because there are differences in recovery speed for each individual
and variations in the degree of swelling,
it is difficult to say uniformly, but
usually, in fast cases, even after 4 months,
double eyelid revision or restoration surgery
can be possible.
Once an incision is made and entered,
since it is visible exactly where the threads are located,
all threads are removed, and to prevent new adhesions from forming,
applying an anti-adhesion agent or performing fat repositioning
are methods used to ensure that in that area
a double eyelid does not form again,
which requires preventive measures.
01. Incision through the existing double eyelid line
02. Releasing all adhered areas
03. Preventive measures to stop the double eyelid from reforming
Because the surgery proceeds with the above methods,
it is naturally a revision surgery,
and it also falls under a highly difficult surgery.
In the case of double eyelid revision surgery,
usually, the time when there is initial swelling and bruising
should not be used as a standard, so
after it has sufficiently settled,
whether undoing the double eyelid is the right choice
should be carefully considered, and after consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon,
we highly recommend that you make your decision.
Because it is not your desired eye shape,
do not stress, and from the beginning to the final care,
at Vibe Plastic Surgery, operating on a 1:1 dedicated system with the chief surgeon,
correct the cause of the failure and into your desired eye shape
we hope you can improve it.
