A High-Difficulty Method for Revision Eyelid Surgery: Double-Line Correction, and Choosing the Medical Team Is Important

Revision eyelid surgery is increasing significantly due to double eyelid procedures performed without considering a person’s facial features or eye condition. In cases where too much skin was removed during the first eye surgery, leaving insufficient skin, where the double eyelid line is too high and the patient wants it lowered significantly, where the double eyelid line is high and the scar is deep, or where there is double eyelid thickening, commonly called a "sausage line," double-line correction surgery may be worth considering.

Wink Plastic Surgery Clinic Director Choi Seung-hyeop says, “Double-line correction is a revision eye surgery method that does not remove the existing double eyelid scar due to a lack of skin, but instead releases the original double eyelid and creates a new line below it. Depending on the case, fat repositioning and grafting may be necessary to prevent recurrence of adhesions. Among patients considering revision eye surgery with double-line correction, many worry that the eyelid line from the first surgery may still be visible or that a double fold may form. However, by releasing the adhesions as much as possible and bringing the eye as close as possible to its preoperative state before creating a new line, the original line is barely visible after surgery, and a double fold does not form.”

Director Choi said, “Among revision eye surgeries, double-line correction is a highly difficult procedure, and in some cases, it may be the best option for certain patients. However, in reality, there are not many hospitals or medical teams that truly understand the procedure and can perform double-line correction properly. Therefore, before revision eye surgery, patients should make their decision only after a thorough one-on-one consultation, carefully checking the medical team’s clinical experience and specialty area.”
