Revision Double Eyelid Surgery: Analyzing the Cause of Failure is Key

Hello.

This is VIBE Plastic Surgery.

Double eyelid surgery is the most popular cosmetic procedure in Korea.

As it has become more common, the number of revision surgeries has also increased.

While some seek revision due to side effects from a failed first surgery, many visit our clinic because they are simply dissatisfied with the shape of their eyelid line.

However, you shouldn’t rush into revision double eyelid surgery, right?

Let’s look at a few things you should know beforehand.

Identifying the Cause for Revision Surgery

Since revision surgery is performed on tissues that already have damage or adhesions from the first procedure, it is essential to accurately analyze why the initial surgery failed.

A satisfying result can only be expected when a customized surgical plan is created by comprehensively considering the current height of the eyelid line, the strength of the eye-opening muscles, the amount of fat, and the depth of fixation.

Revision Surgery POINT!

A revision that feels like your first surgery!

Revision cases where scars and adhesions from previous surgeries remain are considered very difficult to perform.

VIBE Plastic Surgery strives to create natural and beautiful eye lines by cleanly restoring adhesions.

Furthermore, through in-depth consultation with Representative Director Young-moon Yu, we provide a customized line that suits your face.

Revision Double Eyelid Surgery Cases

When the double eyelid has unraveled:

Instead of simply applying strong fixation, we must find the cause of the unraveling and apply a surgical method suitable for the skin thickness and fat volume.

When the eyelid line is too high:

The height of the line must be adjusted lower to create a line and height that suits the individual.

In the case of ‘sausage eyes’:

Since there are various causes, the surgery must address the specific issue. Causes include excessive tissue under the eyelid line or fixation that is too strong.

When eyelashes are upturned:

Over-correction must be released, and ptosis correction should be redone to an appropriate degree through ptosis surgery.

When is the best time for revision?

Revision double eyelid surgery cannot be done at just any time.

In many cases, the appearance of the eyes improves over time rather than immediately after surgery. Therefore, revision should typically be performed after about 6 months, once the tissue state has stabilized.

However, since there are cases where early correction is necessary, it is crucial to consult with a plastic surgery specialist who has extensive experience in revision eye surgery.

For revision cases, a more precise plan must be established by meticulously checking previous surgical methods and the design of the line shape.

That is why at our clinic, everything from pre-operative consultation to surgery and post-operative care is conducted under a 1:1 dedicated system managed by Representative Director Young-moon Yu.
