Hello, this is Inique.

As COVID-19 has prolonged, wearing masks has become unavoidable.

In situations like this, eye surgery in particular has been gaining popularity.

Because the eyes are the first part seen by others, many people are especially looking into eye plastic surgery.

Also, some people undergo eye plastic surgery for various reasons but end up with unsatisfactory results, or in severe cases, need revision surgery.

In particular, if it is a revision after double eyelid surgery that looks very obvious, you would probably be very upset.

At an eye revision surgery clinic, we introduce a revision method that can help solve these concerns.

The most commonly cited cause of eye revision is undoubtedly sausage-like double eyelids, or double eyelid hypertrophy.

When the double eyelid line is thick and puffy, creating an unnatural look, it is called sausage eyes, or double eyelid hypertrophy, preseptal hypertrophy.

There are various reasons why these sausage eyes occur, but they can be broadly classified into three typical cases.

They can occur when the double eyelid line is excessively high, when ptosis has not been corrected, or when there is insufficient fat above the eyes.

Revision eye surgery is often performed after 6 months, when the hard scar tissue from most surgeries has softened.

Although the timing differs from person to person, after 6 months it naturally becomes softer, so that is usually the best time to do it,

but if the symptoms are very severe and normal social life is impossible, revision surgery can be performed after consulting with the medical staff, regardless of timing.

If the double eyelid height is outside the appropriate range, sausage-like double eyelids can occur. In such cases, the height of the double eyelid must be lowered and scarring minimized.

To lower a line that has become higher due to surgery, the skin between the lower line must be removed and the double eyelid height lowered.

If there is not enough skin available, a method called “double-line incision” is used. This method involves making an incision along a new design and preserving the skin while separating and releasing the existing upper line, but because it requires advanced skill, it is safer to choose a clinic that has handled more revision cases.

When the strength to open the eyes is weak, it is called ptosis. In cases of ptosis, even if the double eyelid is not high, the line can appear larger and look thicker.

At the eye revision surgery clinic, ptosis is corrected through eye shape correction. When corrected, the double eyelid settles in more naturally, creating small and natural-looking double eyelids.

As a result, a clearer and more distinct eye line, along with large and attractive double eyelids, is completed, allowing for an overall more satisfying eye design.

If there is insufficient fat above the eyes, the double eyelids can also appear larger.

Simply put, double eyelids are folds in the skin of the eyelid, so if there is not enough fat, they cannot sufficiently cover the area below.

At the eye revision surgery clinic, for such cases, eye shape correction is performed by filling in volume using fat or filler above the eyes.

However, in these cases, the right amount of volume must be given at the exact location, so long-term know-how and experience are important.
