If you want the desired results from double eyelid revision surgery, you have to start over with the design

Hello. I’m Ahn Byung-joon, CEO and chief surgeon of Ahn Byung Joon Plastic Surgery.

When consulting on double eyelid revision surgery, I meet people who come in with all kinds of stories.

Some are unhappy with the results of their previous surgery, some have had their crease line loosen, and others come because the result is different from the eyes they originally wanted.

What these people have in common is that they do not simply want to change the shape of their eyes, but want a result that suits their own eyes.

This is exactly why double eyelid revision surgery requires a more careful and detailed approach than the first surgery.

In revision surgery, we first read the current condition of the eyes

The first thing we do in a double eyelid revision consultation is carefully assess the current condition of the eyes.

We look at what method was used in the previous surgery, how the crease line was formed, and how much adhesion or scar tissue remains.

We also check whether the muscle that opens the eyes has enough strength, and what condition the skin thickness and elasticity are in.

Even for the same revision surgery, the approach differs depending on the eye structure and the previous surgical method.

It is more accurate to see revision surgery not as adding to existing marks, but as a process of redesigning from the beginning based on the current condition.

The style you want and the style that suits your eyes may be different

One of the things I say during surgical consultations is this.

The line you want and the line that suits your eyes may not be the same.

For example, even if you want a large, dramatic crease, depending on the position of the eyeball, skin thickness, and the strength of eye opening, that line may not suit you.

If a crease that is too large is made forcibly, the eyelids can become heavy or leave a naturally unnatural impression.

In revision surgery, because there is already tissue that has been fixed more than once, the size and position of the line must be decided even more carefully.

While listening thoroughly to the direction you want, it is important in consultation to explain the possible range based on the structure of the eyes.

It takes time for the results after revision surgery to stabilize

Double eyelid revision surgery often feels like it takes longer to recover than the initial surgery.

Because of the adhesions and scar tissue left from the previous surgery, swelling may last longer, and the recovery speed on both sides may differ.

So the appearance immediately after surgery and two months later can be quite different.

During the recovery process, it is important not to rush to judge the results, and it is better to continue proper care consistently during that period.

Double eyelid revision surgery is a process of improving the traces of the previous surgery while newly finding the direction that suits the current eyes.

To achieve the desired result, it is important to read the eye structure and design within the possible range.

If you are considering double eyelid revision surgery, I recommend starting by carefully examining your current eye condition together with a board-certified plastic surgeon.
