Seoul Plastic Surgery: When Eyelash Eversion Scarring Occurs After Double Eyelid Surgery

Hello. This is INIQUE at Seoul Plastic Surgery.

The double eyelid surgery was certainly performed to make the eyes more beautiful, but there are also people who feel upset because the results were not as good as they had hoped.

If it is not very severe, that would be fortunate, but if problems such as scars or eyelash eversion do not go away even after time passes, it is natural to start considering revision surgery.

Especially for office workers who cannot take a long vacation, it may be difficult to consider revision surgery easily because they may feel self-conscious at work.

The reasons why scars and eyelash eversion occur after double eyelid surgery, as explained by Seoul Plastic Surgery INIQUE, are varied, and the type can differ from person to person.

For example, after double eyelid surgery, if the area was excessively exposed to ultraviolet rays, or if home care was not properly carried out, or if the person’s skin type is such that they are especially prone to scarring, scars can form and persist for a long time.

Since scarring can occur for various reasons in each individual, before proceeding with revision surgery, it is essential to receive a thorough consultation with the medical team.

Now, let’s take a look at the types of scars and ways to improve them together with Seoul Plastic Surgery.

To prevent scarring from double eyelid surgery, some level of care is needed after the procedure.

For 1 to 3 months after surgery, home care should be performed using skin-beneficial vitamin serums, silicone gel sheets, scar ointments, and similar products.

After about 3 to 6 months, scars are generally expected to disappear by then, and if they still have not gone away even after 6 months, it is considered that revision surgery is needed.

Common scars that can occur after double eyelid surgery include eyelash eversion and depressed scars.

These symptoms can appear when, during the surgery, the double eyelid line is fixed too deeply.

If the fixation point of the double eyelid is too high, or if the eyelid is directly fixed to the tendon of the levator palpebrae superioris, the muscle used to open the eyes, there can be a problem where the lower skin is pulled, creating a difference in height from the skin above the line.

As a result, depressed scars form, and they also affect the eyelashes, causing eyelash eversion.

To reduce the likelihood of the above problems, what is needed is the method used during surgery.

The solution explained by Seoul Plastic Surgery INIQUE is as follows.

To reduce the possibility of depressed scars and eversion caused by an incorrect fixation method, fixing it in a natural position is key.

In particular, each person has a naturally different skin texture, and wrinkles fold naturally, so if surgery is performed with this in mind, scarring can be reduced.

A double eyelid surgery that does not fail is most important when it is fixed at an appropriate depth— not too deep and not too shallow.

To create a double eyelid, it must be fixed to the surrounding tissue inside and to the tarsal plate, and too much skin should not be removed, because the greater the amount removed, the more tension can be applied during suturing.

If it is fixed at an appropriate depth so that skin tension does not occur, a natural-looking line can be designed.
