How Can Revision Eyelid Surgery Be Successfully Done?

Hello, this is Ainic.

Some people dream of big, beautiful eyes and undergo double eyelid surgery, but the results are not as satisfying as expected. Others may have had the surgery itself done improperly and, over time, experienced the crease coming undone. Some may also have experienced complications.

If the eyes are asymmetric and become uneven, or if the points that secure the double eyelid line were not placed evenly, there may be visible pinched marks. In addition, there are representative cases such as a sausage-like double eyelid in which the line becomes puffy because it was pinched too widely.

If the first double eyelid surgery failed for various reasons, revision eyelid surgery must produce a successful result, so choosing a hospital becomes even more careful.

Since the patient has already had double eyelid surgery once, the skin tissue has been deformed and damaged in the process, so the key is to proceed at a place that can carry out a detailed design while taking these factors into account.

However, from the patient’s point of view, there are so many hospitals that perform revision eyelid surgery, and each promotes itself so boldly, that it can be difficult to choose which place is truly skilled.

For those struggling with this concern, Ainic, where the director has over 10,000 surgical cases of experience, received a commendation from the Minister of Health and Welfare, and served as the operating surgeon for Let Me In Thailand Seasons 1–3, provides more delicate design through extensive experience and know-how to perform revision eyelid surgery tailored to each individual.

At Ainic, the surgery is performed by choosing the appropriate method according to the type of failed double eyelid.

First, in cases such as pretarsal fullness, commonly called a sausage-like double eyelid, it occurs because the line was set too high.

The higher the crease line is set, the greater the likelihood that the upper eyelid area will look puffy, so the rate of sausage-like results can also increase.

In such cases, the approach differs depending on whether there is excess skin or not. If there is enough excess skin, the existing high line can be lowered to improve the result.

For those with enough skin laxity, the sausage-like appearance can be improved by excising skin and lowering it to the appropriate position, allowing for a natural-looking result.

For those without enough excess skin, Ainic’s two-line method can be used to lower the line.

Simply put, after redesigning and excising the line, while preserving the skin, the existing upper line is dissected and released.

Ptosis refers to weak eyelid-opening strength. In cases where ptosis is present, if surgery is performed without separately correcting it, the line that is created may not be high, yet a sausage-like phenomenon can still occur.

Also, the eyes may appear dull and sleepy rather than sharp.

In such cases, performing eyelid correction can change the thickness of the double eyelid crease and naturally improve a thick line.

If you have an eye shape with insufficient upper eyelid fat, the line may also appear larger, and the tired-looking impression can be improved.

For this type of eye, a method of adding volume using fillers or fat can be considered, and the key is to place it at the exact location while carefully adjusting the amount used.

In this way, Ainic considers each individual’s condition for eyes that need revision surgery, and proceeds with the most suitable method.

The most important point is that when creating a double eyelid, the height should not be too high, and the most suitable and appropriate height for the individual should be chosen.

Today, with Ainic, we took a detailed look at revision eyelid surgery by type.

If you are considering revision eyelid surgery, we recommend proceeding successfully with Ainic, a place that pursues natural beauty.
