Shall We Take a Look at the Symptoms of Double Eyelid Loosening?

After double eyelid surgery, loosening can sometimes occur. Here, we will briefly look at the symptoms and causes of double eyelid loosening.

Hello, this is Director Choi Seung-hyeop of WINK Plastic Surgery. Today’s topic is double eyelid loosening. Some people experience loosening after double eyelid surgery. The main symptoms include the double eyelid becoming smaller, the double eyelid appearing puffy, a feeling that the crease does not form deeply, and the formation of an additional crease over the existing double eyelid.

If you have these symptoms, you should suspect double eyelid loosening. So what causes it? First, the biggest cause is that the double eyelid fixation comes loose and becomes lax.

So, what is the solution for double eyelid loosening? It is important to firmly secure the fixation again through double eyelid revision surgery. Both non-incisional and incisional methods are possible, but the incisional method is usually performed more often because it allows for stronger fixation. Depending on the person, however, the non-incisional natural adhesion method may also be possible. In some cases, loosening occurs because the strength to open the eyes is insufficient, so if ptosis is present, it is important to correct that as well.

For revision surgery due to double eyelid loosening, accurately identifying the cause of the loosening and achieving a precise yet firm fixation are the key points. If the existing scar is wide and severe, and if there is extra eyelid skin, the incisional method may be better because revision surgery can be performed while also removing the scar.

That concludes our look at double eyelid loosening.
