When is Double Eyelid Restoration Surgery Necessary?

Hello.

This is VIBE Plastic Surgery.

As the frequency of double eyelid surgery increases these days,

the number of cases requiring double eyelid restoration is also on the rise.

Because of this, many people wonder

if they can undo the surgery immediately

if they are unhappy with the results.

So today, we will take a detailed look

at double eyelid restoration surgery.

In the early stages when swelling is present,

the lines will inevitably look thicker than expected

and may feel somewhat overwhelming.

Therefore, you should only judge

whether a revision is necessary after the swelling has subsided

and the double eyelids have fully settled.

Usually, we recommend waiting about 4 to 6 months

until most of the swelling is gone

and the final shape has settled

before deciding whether or not

to undo the double eyelids.

If you are still unhappy with the results

even after the swelling has sufficiently subsided

and the lines have settled,

you may need to plan for a surgery

to undo the double eyelids.

The Core of Double Eyelid Restoration Surgery

When a non-incisional method

such as natural adhesion was used,

the core of the surgery is finding

and removing the thread knots.

If the surgery was performed using the incisional method,

the core of the restoration involves approaching through the existing scar,

removing all internal adhesions,

and re-correcting to the desired height.

While it is difficult to give a universal timeline

because recovery speed and swelling levels

vary for every individual,

double eyelid revision or restoration

can often be performed as early as 4 months post-op.

When performing an incisional restoration,

the location of the threads is visible,

so all threads are removed. Preventive measures are then taken

to ensure new adhesions do not form, such as applying anti-adhesion agents

or performing fat repositioning

to prevent the double eyelid

from forming again in that area.

01. Incision through the existing double eyelid line

02. Releasing all adhered areas

03. Preventive measures to stop the double eyelid from reforming

Since the surgery proceeds with these steps,

it is naturally considered a revision surgery

and falls under the category of high-difficulty procedures.

In the case of double eyelid revision,

you should not make a decision based on

the initial swelling and bruising.

We recommend that you think carefully

after the lines have sufficiently settled,

consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon,

and then make your final decision.

Do not suffer from stress because your eyes did not turn out as desired.

At VIBE Plastic Surgery, which operates under a 1:1 dedicated system with the Chief Surgeon from start to finish,

we will correct the cause of failure and help you

achieve the look you want.
