Why do we focus on eye surgery in plastic surgery care?

Hello.

This is Iho Plastic Surgery, a place where you can be renewed again.

Plastic surgery is a medical specialty that improves the form and function of the human body from head to toe, and it can be divided into reconstructive surgery and cosmetic surgery.

Today, appearance has become one kind of credential, so many people consider plastic surgery to address their complexes. People make various efforts, such as changing their style to create a favorable image for others. However, this cannot solve the fundamental problem, and eye surgery, which can improve the eyes that have a major influence on determining a first impression, is increasingly being chosen. As a result, the number of people considering revision surgery due to side effects and problems has also increased.

A plastic surgeon can perform all types of plastic surgery, but let us look at why it is important to choose a place that focuses on performing a specific procedure with concentration.

Why focus on eye surgery?

The eyes are easy to access, and many people undergo surgery on them. That means the range is broad, from procedures that can be done simply to difficult revision surgeries.

This is because the eye tissue itself consists of many layers and is delicate. So although it is a procedure many people undergo, eye surgery can also be said to be one of the most difficult surgeries.

Because I had a very strong desire to choose the most difficult area and reach a certain level of expertise in that field, I focus on eye surgery in my practice.

Do you feel burdened by revision surgery?

If you underwent eye surgery to achieve a beautiful appearance but ended up with unsatisfactory results, it can lead to stress and even reduced confidence. That is why, because I feel I must help those who visit our clinic for revision surgery, the burden is very heavy and the pressure is enormous.

To achieve a satisfying revision surgery outcome, constant study and effort are necessary. When attempting revision surgery due to dissatisfaction with a previous operation, functional problems with the eyes, noticeable surgical scars, or a loosened double eyelid fold and other various side effects, the first priority must be analyzing the cause of the failure.

For example, even if you are considering revision surgery to improve asymmetry caused by a loosened double eyelid fold, there are many different possibilities depending on the individual. It may have loosened because the surgical method was inappropriate, or it may only appear asymmetrical because it looks loose due to ptosis. Therefore, it is important to keep researching and create results in a good direction so that the patient can be happy.

Would you choose eye surgery?

No matter how much I think about it, I feel I would choose eye surgery again.

Especially revision surgery.

For a doctor specializing in revision eye surgery,

what qualities

are needed?

The most important thing is skill with the hands. Along with that, countless years of experience are also essential.

As mentioned earlier, because the eyes are delicate tissues, many situations can arise. If you lack experience, you will likely panic when faced with such situations. And if you panic, good results cannot be expected.

Do you have any care tips or daily habits?

Since eye surgery can have its outcome determined by even a tiny 1 mm difference, manual skill is crucial. The muscles used during surgery are different from the muscles used when lifting something heavy with your hands or playing the piano, so I manage my hands by doing hand stretching in the morning, at lunch, and in the evening so they do not become stiff.
