Sausage Double-Eyelid Correction: There Is No Second Failure!

Hello.

This is I:NEEK Plastic Surgery.

Today, we will talk about sausage double eyelids, which are the number one cause of revision eyelid surgery.

The reasons why sausage double-eyelid correction is needed are cases where the eyelid crease line is excessively high, which makes the fullness of the upper eyelid more pronounced, cases where double-eyelid surgery was performed without correcting ptosis, and cases where there is not enough fat above the eyes.

In addition, in the case of sausage eyes, side effects can occur depending on each person’s skin condition, the natural folds of the eyes, and the degree of ptosis. When performing sausage double-eyelid correction, the cause must be accurately analyzed and the revision surgery method should be chosen accordingly.

Then, let’s take a closer look at the revision surgery plans by double-eyelid type.

Type 1: Excessively high double-eyelid line

A situation requiring sausage double-eyelid correction is when the crease exceeds the appropriate height range. In this type, the crease height needs to be lowered and scars minimized to create a natural-looking eye.

The appropriate size of a double eyelid has also been emphasized many times through the official blog of I:NEEK Plastic Surgery. The size of the double eyelid is a very important factor not only in revision surgery, but also in the first surgery.

If there is enough skin available, the skin between the existing high line and the desired lower line can be removed, and by lowering the crease height, the sausage eye can be resolved and a natural-looking eye shape can be completed.

However, if there is not enough skin and sausage double-eyelid correction is needed, a method that lowers the line while preserving the skin, commonly called the “two-line method,” must be used. The two-line method involves making an incision along the new design and preserving the skin while releasing the upper existing line by dissecting it.

However, this method is a highly difficult technique used only when there is a skin shortage. To reduce the possibility of recurrence or scarring, it is most important to carefully choose a doctor and hospital with extensive experience in revision surgery for sausage eyes.

Type 2: Ptosis correction

Ptosis means weak eyelid-opening strength. If ptosis is present, it can create the impression of sleepy eyes and cause outward appearance issues due to the unnatural look of the eyes.

Therefore, if ptosis correction is performed using eye-opening correction surgery, the double eyelid can become neatly defined, creating a small and natural-looking eye shape.

Type 3: Not enough fat above the eyes

Depending on a person’s eye shape, the double eyelid can also appear larger when there is not enough fat above the eyes.

A double eyelid is also a fold in the eyelid skin, and as the eyelid skin folds along the crease, the skin above the line comes to cover the skin below.

Because of this, an impression of a sunken upper eyelid may appear. In such cases, adding volume with fat above the eyes or filler can produce effective results.

However, the most important point when performing this sausage double-eyelid correction is to add the proper amount in the correct location.

Today, together with I:NEEK Plastic Surgery, we took time to look at the causes and methods that can help restore burdening sausage eyes to natural-looking eyes again.

In the case of sausage eyes, as it is considered the number one cause of revision eyelid surgery, it is one of the concerns many people have.

However, if you receive an accurate diagnosis for your eyes with I:NEEK and establish a thorough surgical plan, it can definitely be resolved, and you can return to your original confident eyes.

Then, until now, this was I:NEEK, as if it had always been pretty from the beginning.
