Hello,

This is iNique.

Compared with the past, cosmetic surgery has become more mainstream in recent years, and public perceptions of cosmetic procedures have changed as well, leading more people to visit plastic surgery clinics. Among them, the most commonly chosen procedure is double eyelid surgery.

However, if a surgery you decided on carefully comes undone easily or does not turn out as you hoped, it can only lead to even more stress. That is why many people consider revision surgery to solve the problem.

Today, with iNique, we will look at the reasons double eyelid surgery fails and the correct revision method.

First, what are the reasons double eyelid surgery fails? When performing double eyelid surgery, an artificial adhesion is created between the skin and the eyelid-opening muscle to make the double eyelid line. If, for various reasons during this process, the adhesion weakens, the line can come undone.

In addition, because it can be caused by different factors depending on the surgical process, eye condition, and daily habits, it is most important to have a thorough consultation with the medical team, accurately analyze the cause, and proceed with a method that suits you in order to prevent it from coming undone again after revision surgery.

At iNique, for natural beauty, we focus on three key factors when performing double eyelid surgery:

First, the size of the double eyelid Second, the depth of the double eyelid Third, a natural design We determine the height and depth of the line by understanding these three factors and the eye's three-dimensional structure. In addition, because the design follows the individual's natural eyelid crease, the shape is not only natural, but scarring after surgery is also minimized.

Another reason double eyelid surgery fails is when the line comes undone because the strength used to open the eyes is weak. In such cases, revision surgery is performed together with ptosis correction.

If the strength to open the eyes is weak, it may be ptosis.

'Ptosis' refers to a condition in which the eyelid droops and obstructs the field of vision. If the eyelid covers more than 2 mm of the black pupil (cornea), the impression can look sleepy; this is called ptosis.

Ptosis correction is a procedure that shortens the muscles that play an important role in opening the eyes, such as the levator palpebrae superioris and Mueller's muscle, or the tendons.

When ptosis is corrected first through ptosis correction, the double eyelid folds in naturally, the line becomes smaller, and the eyes look more beautiful, so double eyelid failure can be addressed through ptosis correction.

If the reason double eyelid surgery failed is weak eye-opening strength, there is another solution: iNique's high-density non-incisional ptosis correction.

Because this shortens the Mueller muscle using the buried-suture method without an incision, the surgery time and recovery period are short, making it a highly satisfying procedure.

iNique's high-density non-incisional ptosis correction increases the number of fixation points to strengthen the eye-opening force and designs beautiful eyes that do not come undone and last for a long time.

Today, we looked at the reasons double eyelid surgery fails and the revision method through ptosis correction. If you are worried because your surgery has come undone, don't be stressed anymore and solve your concerns neatly at iNique!
