Things to Consider When Having Double Eyelid Revision Surgery

Hello, I’m Director Choi Seung-hyeop of Wink Plastic Surgery. Today, let’s take a look at the points that must be considered when having double eyelid revision surgery.

Double eyelid revision surgery is usually performed because of dissatisfaction with the shape, sagging due to aging, loosening, and similar reasons.

Then let’s look at the solutions and considerations by cause. First of all, the most common reason is dissatisfaction with the shape. The types of double eyelid shapes can largely be divided into a natural shape and a glamorous shape. This may include cases where the double eyelids are too natural and you want a more glamorous change, or cases where the double eyelids are too glamorous and you want to change them to a more natural shape.

It is important to make a plan before double eyelid revision surgery.

A natural double eyelid line is called an in-line, and it has a thin front crease and is overall thin. In contrast, a more glamorous double eyelid line is called an in-out or semi-out line, and it has a thicker front crease and a line that is visible overall.

When changing a natural in-line to a glamorous line, the size of the double eyelids is increased, so it can be done with either incision or non-incision double eyelid revision surgery. However, if there is sagging skin, incision double eyelid revision surgery is more useful because the loose skin must be removed through excision.

If you want more glamorous double eyelids, you can create an in-out or semi-out line.

On the other hand, there are also cases where people want to change a glamorous in-out or semi-out line into a more natural in-line. In such cases, the double eyelids need to be lowered, so through incision double eyelid revision surgery, the existing high crease is loosened and a new line is created below the existing line.

Double eyelid revision surgery can be performed to achieve a natural in-line.

When aging causes sagging and the double eyelids become covered, revision surgery is considered. In such cases, it is effective to create a new line and remove the sagging skin through incision double eyelid revision surgery. Depending on the case, a brow lift can also be considered together.

When the eyelids sag, incision double eyelid revision surgery is used to improve the sagging.

Another reason for double eyelid revision surgery is when the double eyelid line loosens. The most common causes of loosened double eyelids include thick skin and actions that apply external force to the eyes, such as frequently touching or rubbing them. In such cases, it is more effective to recreate the double eyelids through incision double eyelid revision surgery rather than non-incision surgery.

When having double eyelid revision surgery, it is best to proceed with the method that suits you according to the cause.

That concludes our look at the points to consider when having double eyelid revision surgery. If you undergo double eyelid revision surgery in a way that suits you according to the cause of the revision, it can lead to a successful result.
