Hello, I’m Dr. Choi Seung-hyeop, director of Wink Plastic Surgery. Today, I’ll talk about revision surgery with natural adhesion.

When people get double-eyelid surgery for the first time, they often choose the natural adhesion or buried-suture method. However, over time, the fold may loosen and become smaller.

In eyes with thin skin, little sagging, and little fat in the eyelid area, revision surgery may also be possible with natural adhesion.

The biggest advantages of natural adhesion surgery are its natural look and quick recovery. In general, the procedure is performed through 4–5 small incisions in the skin. Because swelling and scar healing are quick, return to daily life is fast, and there are no external stitches, so follow-up visits for treatment are usually not necessary, making it a good option for busy office workers.

A point to note with revision surgery using natural adhesion is that it is difficult to lower the existing fold line. During revision surgery, the line can always only be set similar to or higher than the existing one. If you want to lower the line and reduce the “sausage-like” appearance, revision surgery using an incision method would be necessary.

If there is ptosis, eye-opening correction can be performed, and if there is excess skin at the inner corner of the eyes, an inner corner procedure may also be combined. It is best to receive a diagnosis through a consultation.

That concludes our look at revision surgery with natural adhesion.
