The Most Important Thing About Lowering Double Eyelid Line Is Choosing the Right Clinic!

Hello,

This is Inique.

Double eyelid surgery is one of the most accessible and common cosmetic surgeries among plastic surgeries. However, if the double eyelid line is made too large during the first surgery, it can result in an unnatural so-called “sausage” eye. In professional terms, this is diagnosed as double eyelid hypertrophy or pretarsal hypertrophy.

That is why people who have developed sausage eyes consider surgery to lower the double eyelid line. However, if the scar from the first surgery is also severe, a highly advanced procedure is required to remove that area while lowering the line.

Today, we will look together with Inique at the causes of sausage eyes depending on the condition of your eyes, and the methods for lowering the double eyelid line.

Revision double eyelid surgery differs depending on your current eyelid shape or the cause, so it must be performed after accurately identifying the cause through 충분한 consultation in advance, in order to achieve satisfying and successful double eyelids.

There are three major causes of sausage eyes. First, the double eyelid line may have been set excessively high. When the line is made too high, a bulging point appears between the upper eyelids, making the eyelid area look puffy. This appearance can become more severe as the double eyelid line is positioned higher.

Second, if double eyelid surgery is performed without correcting ptosis, the eyes may look like sausage eyes even if the line is not very high, and the eyes may appear sleepy. Lastly, if there is insufficient fat above the eyes, the area above the eyes may appear sunken, making the double eyelid line look larger as well as giving a tired and aged impression.

So when is the appropriate time?

In general, surgery is possible from six months onward, when hard scar tissue begins to soften. However, if sausage-eye symptoms are severe and normal social life is impossible, revision surgery is performed regardless of the timing.

In such cases, however, a precise medical diagnosis of the eye condition is necessary.

Then shall we look at how the revision plan for lowering the double eyelid line is carried out?

First, this is the case of sausage eyelids caused by a double eyelid line that is too high.

Even when the line was created too high during double eyelid surgery, the amount of excess skin varies from person to person, so the surgical method also differs accordingly. If there is enough excess skin, then if the first surgery created an excessively high double eyelid, lowering the double eyelid line is the only solution. By excising the skin between the existing high line and the target line, and lowering the height of the double eyelid line, the sausage-eye problem can be resolved and a natural, attractive eye shape can be achieved.

Second, for those who do not have much excess skin, lowering the double eyelid line is performed using a method called “double-line fixation.” Double-line fixation does not excise the existing line; instead, after fully releasing the fixation, a new double eyelid is fixed at a lower height.

Because double-line fixation is a highly difficult procedure, it is important to undergo surgery by a specialist with extensive experience and expertise in eyelid revision surgery. Not only double-line fixation but revision surgery in general becomes more difficult as it is repeated multiple times, so it is very important to achieve a satisfying result with just one revision surgery.
