Resolving Triple Eyelid Complications with Revision Eyelid Surgery

Hello, this is iNique.

We all pursue double eyelid surgery because we want to look more beautiful.

We choose the type of double eyelid line we have wanted for a long time and go through surgery with the thought that maybe I can become as beautiful as a celebrity too, feeling excited and nervous as we proceed.

If you get a natural, beautiful, and defined pair of eyes the way you wanted, your self-esteem can improve and you may be able to live the life you hoped for.

But if the result looks awkward and unnatural to the point that revision eyelid surgery is needed, you may experience tremendous disappointment.

In particular, with double eyelid surgery, the result can vary depending on the skill and experience of the medical staff, so careful choice is important.

If, after double eyelid surgery done with the hope of becoming more beautiful, you end up with a triple-lid look where multiple folds overlap and make the eyes look heavy, what should you do?

Today at iNique, we will introduce the causes and methods for those who are worried about triple eyelids after eye surgery.

A triple eyelid refers to a symptom in which multiple wrinkles appear above the double-eyelid line after surgery.

Because unintended wrinkles form, the eyes can look dull and unfocused.

The reasons triple eyelids occur can be broadly divided into three categories.

First, the double eyelid has loosened.

Second, there is a lack of soft tissue and fat above the eyes.

Third, adhesion has occurred after surgery.

Let’s take a closer look at what happens according to each characteristic.

As the name suggests, this is a case where the fixed part of the double eyelid created during surgery has come undone, or the fixation was too weak and became loose.

When the double eyelid loosens, there is a higher chance that the line will naturally form in multiple folds.

iNique’s revision eyelid surgery method to improve this is the smooth incision method.

With iNique’s proprietary technique, which has received a patent office trademark application, the inner corner of the eye, where the line is more likely to loosen over time, is firmly secured with triple fixation.

In addition, the middle and outer areas are fixed at an appropriate depth so the line folds naturally without looking awkward.

Especially when applying point fixation, we generously use around 7 to 9 fixation points, allowing the revision eyelid surgery to be completed smoothly without looking uneven.

The human eyelid has skin on the outermost layer, and inside that are muscle, soft tissue, and fat in that order.

If there is no shortage of volume in the upper part of the eye where the double eyelid is created, then even after forming the double eyelid line, the upper skin naturally covers the lower part.

However, if the soft tissue and fat above the eyes are not sufficiently voluminous, the upper part of the eyelid can sink in, causing wrinkles to form above the double eyelid line.

The revision surgery to improve this involves transplanting micro-fat into areas with less volume so the revision eyelid surgery can be done without clumping, and it must be transplanted while being properly adjusted so that injecting too much does not cause the surface to bulge.

When revision eyelid surgery is performed because you were not satisfied with the result of the first double eyelid surgery, triple eyelids can appear as adhesion occurs in the area that previously had the line.

The revision procedure used to solve this is adhesion release surgery.

If the adhered area is released and fat and muscle are lowered and inserted, the recurrence rate can be reduced.

However, when adhesion release surgery is performed, the anatomical structure may have been altered due to the initial surgery, the risk of bleeding may be higher, and because the structures of various layers such as skin, muscle, and tarsal plate must be carefully analyzed, it is important to perform the procedure with even greater delicacy than the first surgery.

Moreover, because the eyes are an important organ directly connected to daily life, a more delicate and systematic plan must be made and carried out.

To increase the success rate, you should choose a place with abundant skill and know-how, and it is important to choose a place that can create a natural, defined line.
