Revision surgery for sausage eyes: let’s think more carefully about eye surgery
Before undergoing double-eyelid surgery, people often feel excited and hopeful that they will become more beautiful.
But if the result is disappointing, it certainly would not feel good.
Because double-eyelid surgery is still surgery, it should be approached carefully rather than taken lightly,
and the postoperative progress should be monitored closely.
When swelling does not go down even after time has passed following surgery,
the eyes are often called “sausage eyes.”
People who have sausage eyes may develop a complex about them, feel stressed,
and start looking into revision surgery for sausage eyes.
However, if you do not research carefully at this stage,
it could become not just revision surgery, but a second revision surgery,
so we need to make a careful choice.
Then let’s take a closer look at sausage eyes.
Sausage eyes refer to a condition in which, even years after double-eyelid surgery, the area below the crease
still looks swollen as if surgery had just been performed.
During surgery, lymphatic vessels may be cut, and scarring around the muscle and fat layers
can block lymphatic flow, preventing smooth circulation and becoming one of the causes.
For sausage eyes, revision surgery is generally considered possible about 6 months after the initial surgery,
and the decision to lower the crease should be made after monitoring the progress with medical professionals.
At our clinic, we strive to improve sausage eyes
so that even the discomfort and distress of those who have them can be relieved.
A double-eyelid line that is too deep and thick,
a double eyelid with severe scarring or a loosened crease,
overcorrection severe enough to make opening and closing the eyes uncomfortable,
a double eyelid that does not harmonize with the proportions of the face, and similar issues are analyzed
as we look into revision eye surgery that identifies and improves these concerns.
Did you know that the overall impression of the eyes can vary depending on the shape and size of the iris and the whites of the eyes,
as well as the natural eye size, proportions, and degree of exposure?
Depending on the eye shape after the first surgery, sometimes the front should be raised, and sometimes the outer corner should be lowered
to improve the eye contour into more harmonious proportions.
Let’s look at eye proportions that can be harmonious according to Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery.
The ratio of the iris to the whites of the eyes is 1:1:1,
the natural horizontal length of the eye is 2.5 to 3 cm,
the ratio of both eyes including the nose is 1:1:1,
and the natural vertical length of the iris is 0.7 to 1 cm.
Because the harmonious ratio differs for each individual, it is important to proceed after a thorough consultation.
Shall we take a look at a self-check for sausage-eye revision surgery?
1. Are the dark irises clearly visible?
2. Does the skin along the double-eyelid line look natural?
3. Do you have double eyelids, but they appear droopy?
4. Is the double-eyelid line natural-looking?
5. Does the double-eyelid line look natural when you move your eyes?
6. Do your eyelids feel light when you blink? These are some of the symptoms
that may help you determine whether a self-check is needed.
With Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery’s RE4 reconstruction, we improve the eyes for a natural look
as if it were your first surgery, erasing traces of a previous failure, restoring everything to its proper place and changing it for the better,
and resetting the previously failed double-eyelid line so it can be reconstructed naturally.
Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery does its utmost to help this become your last eye surgery.
Lastly, let’s take a look at revision eye surgery methods before we finish!!!
1. When the line was created too thick during surgery –
This often occurs when the line was set excessively high despite the presence of unnecessary fat.
The existing line is released and re-corrected lower into a new line, while unnecessary fat and tissue are also
removed together to improve the eyes for a natural look.
2. When scarring remains after double-eyelid surgery –
If the scar after double-eyelid surgery is noticeable and large, and revision surgery is desired, the remaining scar tissue in the eyelid tissue or skin
is excised or reduced to improve the scar, and if necessary,
a new double-eyelid line is created to improve the eyes for a more natural look.
3. When the double eyelids on both sides have become asymmetric –
This can occur when one double-eyelid line has loosened and become asymmetric, when the lines were set differently during surgery,
or when the depths of the double eyelids are different.
After releasing the existing double-eyelid line, it is re-corrected to match the desired side
and improved by balancing the symmetry between the left and right eyes.
4. When the line has loosened after surgery –
This appears when the double-eyelid line is too low or the fixation was weak.
Over time, skin sagging may also occur, and depending on the case,
improvement may be possible with a natural adhesion method rather than an incision.
After revision eye surgery, it is best to avoid alcohol and smoking for a certain period of time,
and it is also advisable to temporarily avoid stimulating activities such as saunas, hot baths, and strenuous exercise.
At our clinic, through thorough one-on-one consultations, we create a surgical plan tailored to each individual’s eye condition and type,
and proceed meticulously with a line that suits the patient.
This has been Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery, always doing our best.
We hope you have a good day today.
