What Are the Important Factors for Successful Revision Eye Surgery?

Hello, I’m Chief Director Choi Seung-hyeop of Wink Plastic Surgery. Today, the topic we’ll look into is revision eye surgery. Among that, I’d like to talk about the factors that lead to successful revision eye surgery.

First of all, the most important point for a successful revision surgery is accurately identifying the current problem. And then, the most appropriate approach and surgical plan for that issue are important.

For eyes like the above, which do not have a double eyelid and have an upturned eye shape, it may be possible to create a thin double eyelid and improve the upturned eye shape through epicanthoplasty.

As shown above, the surgery was performed as a non-incisional double eyelid procedure using natural adhesion, and after the epicanthoplasty, you can see that the outer eye shape that had been tilted upward was improved.

In cases like the one above, the patient wanted to improve the uneven appearance caused by one double eyelid being smaller, and wanted a natural in-line shape similar to the opposite side. Improvement was made through an incision. For the upturned eye shape, the patient wanted a natural correction, so only a small amount of outer and lower canthoplasty was performed.

As shown above, after surgery the eyes became more defined and symmetry improved, creating a clearer impression.

In this way, for revision eye surgery, it is necessary to properly consider the problem, the appropriate surgical plan, and each individual’s preferences in order to achieve successful results. This was Chief Director Choi of Wink Plastic Surgery.
