Hello, this is Luho Plastic Surgery.

These days, with the March new semester season, among those who had eye surgery during the recent winter break,

many people who are unhappy with their eye shape or who experienced a failed surgery

are coming to Luho Plastic Surgery for consultations about revision eye surgery.

In the case of revision eye surgery, since you have already experienced a failed surgery once,

there are likely many worries and concerns.

So, we prepared this!

Director Park Il, the head surgeon of Luho Plastic Surgery, who specializes in revision eye surgery,

selected only the most frequently asked questions during revision eye surgery consultations and answered them.

A complete guide to revision eye surgery!

Q. Why do people consider revision surgery?

1. The original surgery went very wrong

For example, a severe scar remained after the first surgery,

or there may be issues such as the shape of the double eyelid or asymmetry.

2. A lot of time has passed after surgery

Due to aging, the double eyelid may have loosened or the skin may have sagged significantly,

which can greatly change the shape.

3. The patient’s preferences have changed

Before eye surgery, a small line may have been preferred,

but after surgery, they may want bigger, more dramatic eyes.

Q. Is revision surgery more difficult?

Many patients seem to fear revision surgery because it is more difficult than the first surgery.

The reason revision surgery is more difficult is that even if the previous surgery was very simple,

the tissue inside is likely no longer in a normal state.

Also, in cases where revision surgery has been performed multiple times,

the internal structure differs greatly from what you would see in textbooks,

so we say revision surgery is more difficult than the first surgery.

Q. Is revision surgery more painful?

Because the tissue is not normal tissue during revision surgery,

some parts may actually be less painful.

So we can say that revision surgery is not necessarily more painful.

Q. Is revision surgery more expensive?

In actual surgery, the situation inside is often very different from what appears on the outside.

When such unexpected situations arise,

the surgeon’s skill and experience become very important.

Also, because of the higher difficulty, it naturally takes longer than the first surgery.

Considering skill and surgery time, revision surgery is usually more expensive.

Q. Does swelling last longer after revision surgery?

Among the patients who came to Luho Plastic Surgery for revision consultations,

many had previously undergone double eyelid surgery and were worried that the swelling might last longer than before.

If the reason you decided on revision surgery is that the double eyelids came out too large,

and you want surgery to reduce the size of the double eyelid,

then the swelling actually goes down much faster than before.

In this way, swelling is related more to the type of surgery than to whether it is the first surgery or revision surgery.

Q. Can revision surgery be done exactly the way I want?

If the condition of the eyes and the patient’s desired changes match,

we can make them exactly the way the patient wants.

However, if the patient wants too much compared to the condition of the eyes,

we say it is not possible.

During revision eye surgery consultations, Luho Plastic Surgery checks what is possible and what is not,

and if there are things that are not possible, we try to clearly explain why and what problems may arise if they were done.

Satisfaction with surgery is subjective, but the smaller the gap from the desired style, the higher the satisfaction.

So we believe it is the specialist’s role to first close that gap.

Q. How many times can revision surgery be done?

In fact, one patient for whom Director Park Il performed the final surgery

had undergone surgery six times at other clinics before coming to Luho Plastic Surgery.

In such cases, revision surgery is possible, but because the patient has had many revisions,

it is true that the surgery becomes somewhat more difficult.

Usually, revision surgery is possible after 6 months have passed since the surgery,

but if the surgery has been performed multiple times,

the waiting period for revision surgery can take 1 year, 2 years, or even longer than 3 years.

There is no fixed number of revision surgeries, but I would like to say that fewer is better!

Q. Can I have revision surgery at the first clinic?

If, after surgery, the front part has loosened slightly, or if there is a very small asymmetry between the left and right sides,

and it can be corrected with a simple procedure,

it is better to have it done at the clinic where you had it before.

However, if the previous result was very poor or if you have lost trust in that clinic,

getting a consultation elsewhere can also be an option.

Q. Revision surgery vs. first surgery, are the patients clearly different too?

First-time surgery patients often have rather abstract ideas about what they want.

On the other hand, revision surgery patients tend to have clearer goals, which can be seen as a difference between revision patients and first-time surgery patients.

Also, because revision patients have surgery experience,

there are many points that can be discussed during consultation,

so it seems easier to explain more accurate and detailed matters during the consultation as well.

Q. Does having clearer goals lead to higher satisfaction?

Having a clear idea of what you want allows Luho Plastic Surgery, during a revision eye surgery consultation,

to give accurate explanations about what is possible and what is not.

So if you are seriously considering revision surgery,

we recommend that you clearly organize what you want before consulting with a specialist.

Q. What would you like to say to revision surgery patients?

When you come to Luho Plastic Surgery for a revision eye surgery consultation,

it would be good to come with a clear idea of what you want,

understand exactly which parts are possible and which are not,

and then decide on surgery.

These days, we live in an era where a lot of information is available on the internet,

but sometimes people focus only on extremely severe, badly wrong cases,

and there are even some who say they will never undergo a certain surgical method.

In reality, there are many cases where the surgical method is not the cause.

So if you are getting a revision eye surgery consultation,

rather than insisting on only one specific surgical method, we recommend keeping an open mind and, through consultation with a specialist,

finding the surgical method that suits you best.
