No Failed Revision Surgery If You Identify the Cause of Sausage Eyes First

Hello. This is Ainic Plastic Surgery.

Today, we’d like to talk about sausage eyes, which are the biggest reason many people consider revision eyelid surgery.

Revision surgery for sausage eyes is something more people worry about than you might think, to the point that it is often cited as the number one cause of eyelid revision surgery.

A sausage double eyelid is not caused only by an improperly performed double eyelid surgery; it can also appear due to a congenital issue with your own eyes.

Shall we take a closer look at each one?

First, this is when sausage eyes occur because the double eyelid line is excessively high.

If surgery is performed with the double eyelid line set too high, the fullness of the upper eyelid becomes more pronounced, resulting in sausage eyes.

Second, it can be caused by ptosis.

If you have ptosis, ptosis correction should be performed first, followed by double eyelid surgery. If this is not done, even a high line can make the eyes look like sausage eyes.

Lastly, if there is insufficient fat above the eyes, the double eyelid line may appear too large and can look like sausage eyes. In addition, it may create a tired or prematurely aged impression, so correction is also needed in such cases.

We’ve looked at the causes of sausage eyes. So how is revision surgery for sausage eyes performed?

First, when revision surgery for sausage eyes is needed, you need to check how much skin remains available.

Fortunately, if there is still enough skin after surgery, the method used is to lower the line that is causing the sausage-eye appearance.

By removing the skin between the original high line and the newly targeted lower line, and lowering the double eyelid height, the problem can be resolved naturally.

However, if there is not enough skin available, the process becomes more complicated. The reason is that a method called double-line incision is used to lower the line while preserving the skin.

This method involves making an incision along the new design and preserving the skin, while dissecting and releasing the existing upper line. However, because double-line incision carries a higher risk of recurrence and scarring, it is important to choose a hospital that specializes in eye plastic surgery.

If ptosis is the problem, ptosis correction must be performed again.

Because ptosis means weak eye-opening strength, it can easily give a sleepy appearance even in everyday life. In such cases, even eyelid correction alone can make a noticeable difference.

Lastly, if there is insufficient fat in the eyelids, improvement is performed by adding volume above the eyes with fat or filler.

However, in this case, it is important to fill the area with the right amount in the correct location. Otherwise, the eyes may become uneven and unnatural, so caution is needed.

Today, we looked at both the causes and solutions for revision surgery for sausage eyes.

In general, eyelid revision surgery can be performed after 6 months, but if there are side effects or the appearance is very poor and revision is needed quickly, surgery may be possible after sufficient consultation with the medical staff and an accurate diagnosis of the eye condition.
