With the upcoming school break and vacation season approaching, more people are planning plastic surgery to change their image. Among the many types of cosmetic procedures, an increasing number are visiting plastic surgery clinics for eye surgery, especially to achieve larger, clearer, and more attractive-looking eyes.
Among eye surgeries, double eyelid surgery is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures for people of all ages and genders, and its revision rate is also not low, so careful attention is required when undergoing the procedure.
There are many different cases in which revision double eyelid surgery may be needed. Common examples include cases where pre-existing eye asymmetry was not corrected, cases where the double eyelid line created in a previous surgery has loosened, cases where both double eyelids have loosened and the eyes have returned to their original appearance, and cases of thick, puffy “sausage eyes.”
If the double eyelid line was created asymmetrically or the double eyelid line has loosened, the eyes may not look defined and the facial harmony and balance may be affected by the asymmetry. In such cases, the eye symmetry should be corrected and a new double eyelid line should be created.
In the case of revision eye surgery, it is generally recommended to proceed after six months have passed following the previous double eyelid surgery, when the tissues have stabilized. However, if a specialist determines that the side effects are severe, or that the line has only slightly loosened and immediate revision would not place excessive strain on the tissues, surgery may be performed right away after consultation with the medical team.
The cause should first be clearly identified, and revision surgery should be performed after checking the size and position of the double eyelid line in a dynamic state for each individual, while considering the amount and condition of eyelid tissue and its harmony with surrounding structures. Through precise preoperative analysis and consultation, more satisfying results can be achieved by combining procedures as needed, such as epicanthoplasty, lateral canthoplasty, lower canthoplasty, or ptosis correction if ptosis is present.
Director Hwang Ho of Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery advised, “If you choose a hospital before revision eye surgery based only on online reviews or whether it is known as a good or famous place, the treatment may not suit your case, which can lead to dissatisfaction with the line, loosening of the double eyelid, and other side effects. Therefore, you should choose a hospital that thoroughly evaluates the condition and cause of your eyes in advance and provides an appropriate solution.”
He also added, “To do this, it is important to have the discernment to choose medical staff with extensive revision surgery experience, skill, and know-how. When visiting a hospital for consultation, it is essential to choose a place that can provide precise consultation, establish an individualized surgical plan, and deliver highly accurate surgical results.”
