Eye surgery, which creates a clear and beautiful eye shape, is highly preferred and is one of the most common procedures. However, along with the rise in eye surgery, demand for revision eye surgery is also increasing.
Revision eye surgery is a procedure that corrects various problems that occur after double-eyelid surgery. The most common issue is an excessively thick double-eyelid line, often called “sausage eyes.” This can occur when the line was created too high or when there is excessive unnecessary fatty tissue. By releasing the existing double-eyelid line, re-correcting it to a lower position, and removing unnecessary scar tissue and fat, it can be improved into a more natural-looking line.
The next common issue is left-right asymmetry of the double eyelids. If the eyelids are thick and contain a lot of fat but surgery is performed without removing it, the double eyelid can come undone, and in some cases only one side loosens, creating asymmetry. In this situation, the muscle tissue is released to even out the scar tissue, followed by eyelid surgery to adjust the laxity. In addition, if the double-eyelid lines were set differently on each side during surgery or the depth differed, resulting in asymmetry, the existing line is released and re-corrected to match the desired side. When necessary, ptosis correction may also be performed to improve left-right symmetry.
In addition to the two cases above, there are many other problems, such as severe scarring or overcorrection. To achieve natural revision eye surgery without further failure, the key is whether improvement to an ideal double-eyelid line is possible. Regarding this, a specialist said, “Only when the cause of the failed eye surgery is accurately analyzed, and each patient’s unique eye characteristics, periocular skin, and shapes are understood before a customized surgery is performed, can improvement to a more natural, highly satisfying, ideal double-eyelid line be achieved.”
He also advised, “Before choosing a hospital, patients should compare whether the clinic provides 1:1 customized plastic surgery optimized for each individual and establishes a surgical plan. Only then is it possible to improve the eyes into an ideal and natural-looking shape that suits each person’s face shape and facial-feature proportions.”
