If your lowered double-eyelid line looks thick, like a sausage fold

Hello, this is Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery. Many patients who are going through a difficult time due to other side effects from an unsuccessful eye surgery and changes in their eye shape often consider eye reconstruction surgery. In particular, a thick double eyelid or an unnaturally high line caused by deep fixation or the formation of a high crease is sometimes described as “sausage eyes.” Because of this issue, many people look into double-eyelid line lowering surgery as part of eye reconstruction. Let’s take a closer look at this procedure.

Double-eyelid line lowering surgery refers to a procedure that lowers a double-eyelid line that is too thick or too high. It can be finely adjusted depending on factors such as the degree of eye hollowing or protrusion, the method used to create the double eyelid in the previous surgery, and the amount of excess eyelid skin. If you are looking into a natural-looking lowering procedure after an unsuccessful double-eyid surgery, the amount of available skin may determine the surgical method. Excess eyelid skin simply refers to the amount of eyelid skin available for adjusting the crease line.

When there is little excess skin, the line can be lowered using the double-line technique. When there is sufficient excess skin, the crease height can be adjusted through an excision method by removing part of the available eyelid skin, within a range that still allows the eyes to close well without lagophthalmos. It is difficult to say unconditionally that one of these two methods is better than the other. Since everyone has different skin availability and conditions, it is best to visit the clinic for an in-person consultation and an accurate assessment.

The double-line technique releases the existing double-eyelid line and creates a lower line by forming a new adhesion beneath it. Because two scar lines may be visible when the eyes are closed, it is advisable to proceed with surgery while keeping a sufficient recovery period in mind. Also, if double-eyelid line lowering needs to be performed using the double-line technique, it can be helpful to carefully review before-and-after cases and, during consultation, check from multiple angles how scar-related concerns will be addressed and how postoperative care will be provided.

The excision method is widely known as a way to lower the line by removing excess skin. However, because lowering the line through skin excision has the drawback of being irreversible, it is especially important to choose medical staff with delicate technique and extensive surgical experience. Even when lowering the double-eyelid line through excision, it can be helpful to have an accurate consultation, discuss specifically how much excess skin should be removed, and clearly communicate your needs.

Because surgery to lower the double eyelid is considered one of the most difficult and highly complex revision procedures among eye revision surgeries, it is important to meet with different medical professionals, listen to their opinions, and choose carefully so that you can undergo revision eye surgery without regret. Please do not make a rushed decision. We hope that through revision eye surgery, you can restore both the beauty of your eyes and your confidence. Thank you.
