How Can “Sausage Eyes” Be Fixed?

Hello,

This is IINIQUE.

For a more beautiful appearance, and for health reasons, if your first surgery, which you carefully decided on, ends satisfactorily with natural and clear eyes, that would be ideal.

However, due to insufficient surgical skill from the medical team, unwanted puffy and unnatural-looking eyes may result, which is unfortunate.

To address this, people often decide to undergo revision surgery.

Of course, it is more important than the first surgery, and because it is a revision procedure that requires the medical team’s skill, careful selection is necessary. Therefore, it is important to choose a plastic surgery clinic with abundant experience and skill.

From here, we would like to look into the sausage-eye surgery performed by IINIQUE, which has extensive experience.

There are many reasons for revision surgery, and the causes are also diverse.

Among them, the one cited overwhelmingly as a cause of revision surgery is sausage-eye surgery.

This can arise from three main causes, and different solutions are applied for each cause to complete puffy and unnatural-looking eyes into attractive eyes.

First type: an excessively high double-eyelid line The higher the line, the more noticeable the puffiness of the eyelid becomes.

Second type: ptosis has not been corrected If only double-eyelid surgery is performed without correcting ptosis, the eyes may look like sausage eyes even if the line is not high.

Third type: insufficient fat above the eyes If there is not enough fat, the double-eyelid line can appear larger, and the area above the eyes may look sunken, creating a tired and aged impression.

Shall we look at the solutions by cause?

For natural and attractive eyes, it is important to create a double-eyelid line at an appropriate height. If this upper limit is exceeded, the result becomes puffy sausage eyes.

At IINIQUE, different surgical methods are applied depending on how much skin laxity the individual has.

If there is enough skin laxity, the skin between the existing high line and the desired lower line is excised, and the height of the double eyelid is lowered to create a natural double eyelid.

On the other hand, if there is not enough skin laxity, they address sausage-like double eyelids with a procedure called two-line incision. This method preserves the skin, while dissecting the existing line above the double eyelid and making an incision with a new design.

In the case of two-line incision, it is a highly advanced method with the possibility of recurrence or scarring, so choosing a clinic with extensive experience is the most important thing.

Second, when ptosis is present, the eyelid line can appear large even if the double eyelid is not high. If eye correction is performed together at this time, it not only resolves the sausage-eye appearance, but also makes the eyes look larger even at the same double-eyelid height. In addition, because the double-eyelid thickness becomes thinner, recovery can proceed naturally.

Lastly, when there is insufficient fat above the eyes, the double eyelids can appear larger. Because the skin above the double-eyelid line cannot adequately cover the lower area, the double eyelids appear larger, and the eyes may look aged or tired.

In this case, fat or fillers are used above the eyes to add volume at the appropriate location, resolving the puffy appearance naturally.

So far, we have looked at the causes of unnatural puffy eyes and the appropriate solutions for each.
