Hello.
I’m Im Jin-young, the chief doctor at Piap Clinic.
Double eyelid surgery is one of the most common procedures in plastic surgery.
Because of that, there are quite a few people who come to Jamsil Saenae Station Plastic Surgery thinking of double eyelid surgery lightly.
But even if you only look at Instagram or YouTube,
you’ll realize that there are far more people 고민 about double eyelid revision surgery than you might expect.
Of course, revision surgery is not impossible.
But to be honest from a doctor’s point of view,
getting the first surgery done properly the first time is a much more important process than many people think.

Especially if you were planning to go in for a consultation with only the thought of, “Please make my eyes look like Go Yoon-jung’s,”
please take just 3 minutes to read this article.
From my perspective as a board-certified plastic surgeon,
this will be a chance for you to learn about Jamsil Saenae Station Plastic Surgery.
Is revision surgery a big problem?
Many people think that way.
If you’re not happy with the result,
you can just do it again, right?
But
the reality is different.

The skin, muscle, and fat around the eyelids have already been altered once after a procedure.
The space that can be used freely, as it was at the beginning,
becomes much more limited.
As time passes, when adhesions—where tissues stick together—are added,
the work of creating a new line becomes several times more complicated than the first time.

That means it requires much more time, recovery period, and cost.
Even after revision surgery,
the crease can become faint again or asymmetry can remain.
So before simply saying,
“Please make my eyes look like a celebrity’s,”
it’s important to know the basic information first and approach the consultation prepared.
Do you know these <2 things> before lying on the operating table?
Let me ask you a question.
You bring a photo of Go Yoon-jung and walk into a consultation room at a nearby Jamsil Saenae Station Plastic Surgery clinic.
Clinic A says it’s possible, and Clinic B says it’s not.

Which clinic should you choose?

The answer is: you don’t know yet.
Why you don’t know yet, I’ll explain after covering the two things below.
The first thing you need to know is the surgical method.
Double eyelid surgery is broadly divided into the non-incision method, incision method, and partial incision method.
< Non-incision method >

This works by making a few small openings in the eyelid and connecting the skin and muscle with sutures.
Recovery is fast and returning to daily life is easy, so many office workers choose it.
However, if the eyelid has a lot of fat or is thick,
the sutures may not withstand the weight, and the crease can fade over time.
It is important to first check whether your eye condition is suitable for the non-incision method.
< Incision method >

The skin is opened directly to remove excess fat or loose skin,
and the muscle and skin are firmly connected to fix the crease.
One advantage is that once it settles in place,
the crease tends to hold well.
On the other hand, the recovery period is somewhat longer, and early swelling or bruising can remain for a while,
so it is better to make the decision when you have enough time available.
< Partial incision method >

This is an intermediate method between the non-incision and incision methods.
Instead of opening the entire area,
only a narrow section is incised as needed, the fat and muscle are adjusted, and then the crease is formed.
It is suitable for people who want a natural result but still need a certain level of retention.
Which of the three is right for you
can only be judged accurately by a specialist who has examined the eyelid condition in person.

The second thing you need to know is harmony.
"Doctor, isn’t that a very obvious thing to say?"
I can already hear that reaction.
Yes,
it may sound obvious.
But in actual consultations,
there are really many people who come in having overlooked this obvious part.
Just because the crease line you want is pretty
doesn’t mean it will look pretty on your face too.
Eyelids are not something to look at separately from the eyes alone;
they should be considered together with the overall facial proportions, the distance from the nose, and the overall impression.
No matter how trendy a crease line may be, if it doesn’t balance with your face,
it can end up looking awkward and artificial.
So when you look into Jamsil Saenae Station Plastic Surgery and tell them the line you want,
please make sure to check whether they are the kind of place that says,
"It will be possible," without hesitation,
or whether they first say,
"For your face, this line will look more natural for these reasons."
Jamsil Saenae Station Plastic Surgery:
What criteria should you use to choose?
Now I think I can explain why the answer to the question I asked earlier was,
"You don’t know yet."
To determine whether Clinic A is right or Clinic B is right,
more criteria are needed.

Whether the clinic that said it was "possible" actually looked closely at your eyelid condition and suggested the appropriate method,
or whether the clinic that said it was "not possible" said so while considering the harmony of the entire face,
in the end, to judge this, there is no choice but to visit several places in person.
I recommend visiting at least three clinics.
As you go around different places,
you will clearly begin to see the differences in how each clinic suggests methods and on what basis.

Places with many reviews,
places running discount events,
or places close to home—these other criteria are of course important too.
But please be sure to check whether they explain the surgical method and the reasons in detail,
how it blends with your face,
and whether they tell you this first.
That is the most realistic and reliable way to avoid having to do it again and to get a satisfying result the first time.
So far, I’ve explained why revision surgery should be avoided and the two things you should know before double eyelid surgery.

Let me briefly summarize the key points.
Why it becomes difficult to do again
-
Tissue changes reduce the available space
-
Adhesions make new crease formation much more complicated
-
Cost, recovery time, and difficulty all increase
What to check before the first surgery
-
Choose the method that matches your eye condition
-
Consider the harmony of the whole face before the desired crease line
-
Choose a specialist who gives honest feedback
Criteria for choosing a clinic
-
Check whether they examine the eye condition carefully
-
Check whether they clearly explain the surgical method and the reasons
-
Compare after consulting at least three clinics
If you are preparing for double eyelid surgery,
making the right result the first time is more important than anything else.
Before visiting Jamsil Saenae Station Plastic Surgery,
I hope today’s content can serve as a small guide for an important decision.
I sincerely wish you a result with no regrets.

This has been Im Jin-young,
