Severe eyes usually refers to eyes that do not look aesthetically pleasing due to multiple revision surgeries. In many cases, these eyes have not only cosmetic concerns but also functional problems, so it is important to approach revision surgery by considering several factors together.


Hello, this is Director Choi from Wink Plastic Surgery. Today, we will look at revision surgery for severe eyes. In general, revision surgery for eyes that have unsatisfactory results from a previous surgery is called revision surgery for severe eyes.

In such cases, severe scarring, an excessively high double eyelid crease, or severe ptosis are often present. In cases of severe scarring, scar removal may be necessary, but it can be difficult if there is not enough skin. In cases of an excessively high double eyelid crease, if the crease needs to be lowered significantly, surgery must be performed to lower the double eyelid line while preserving the skin. In cases of severe ptosis, the function of the eyelid decreases, which can cause the eyes to look sleepy or make the double eyelid fold poorly or become loose.


Therefore, in general, revision surgery for severe eyes often uses the skin-preserving incision method (also known as the "double-line method"), and ptosis correction surgery or eye-opening correction is often needed at the same time. Because of this, accurate diagnosis of these issues and extensive experience in the relevant field are important.



In cases of severe eyes, if the scarring from a previous surgery is severe, there may be limitations in revision surgery as well. In other words, when there is insufficient skin, scar removal may not proceed smoothly, and some of the existing scars may remain; this can be considered a limitation. However, improvement in appearance or function compared with before will still be encouraging.


This concludes our look at revision surgery for severe eyes.
