Selection Criteria for Incisional or Non-Incisional Surgery,

as Explained by a Specialist in Revision Eyelid Surgery

[Column by Director Kim Dasom]

Double eyelid surgery is one of the representative cosmetic procedures chosen by many people

to achieve clearer and more attractive eyes.

However, contrary to expectations, there are also many cases

where the results are unsatisfactory or

revision surgery is needed due to unexpected side effects.

Today, together with Thank You Plastic Surgery,

a clinic known for revision eyelid surgery,

let’s look at when revision eyelid surgery is needed

and the features of each surgical method.

Cases where revision eyelid surgery is needed include

when the double eyelid line is set too high or too low,

when asymmetry needs to be corrected,

when multiple folds appear, or when the line

becomes loosened over time.

As such, revision eyelid surgery may be necessary for various reasons,

and choosing between incisional and non-incisional methods

can also be a concern for those considering revision surgery.

So, for revision eyelid surgery, shall we look at

what characteristics incisional and non-incisional methods each have?

Incisional revision eyelid surgery is a method in which

the skin is incised along the existing double eyelid line.

It is mainly performed when there are scars,

severe tissue adhesions,

a lot of sagging eyelid skin, or severe ptosis,

or when problems from the previous surgery need to be corrected

or skin excision is necessary.

Because the eyelid is directly incised,

it allows for precise adjustment of the skin, muscle, and fat,

making problem-solving easier and providing firm fixation

and stable durability.

Non-incisional revision eyelid surgery

is a procedure that solves problems through tiny openings

without cutting the skin.

It is suitable when a non-incisional method was used in the previous surgery,

when sagging skin or tissue adhesion is not severe,

or when the skin is thin and has good elasticity.

The non-incisional method is relatively free from additional scarring,

and because the dissection range is not large,

predictable results can be expected.

However, because the procedure is performed through small openings,

it requires delicate technical skill from the medical team.

Revision eyelid surgery deals with tissue that has already undergone surgery once,

so it is different from simply recreating a double eyelid line.

A precise plan is important, taking into comprehensive consideration

various factors such as traces of the previous surgery,

the amount of remaining skin tissue,

and the desired shape of the new line.

Therefore, through sufficient consultation,

it is important to accurately diagnose your eye condition

and have the procedure performed by an experienced specialist

who can provide a customized surgery.

That is the way to achieve satisfying results.

Among those considering revision eyelid surgery,

another commonly asked question is about suture removal.

If a double eyelid fixation suture was used in the previous surgery,

many people wonder whether it is better to remove the suture

and then proceed with revision surgery.

To answer first:

it is better to remove the suture before revision surgery!

There are two main reasons.

If revision surgery is performed without removing the suture,

a new line may not form properly,

and multiple folds may develop.

Another reason is that if sutures continue to accumulate,

granulomas can form around them,

and sebum may collect.

These can appear as bumpy nodules,

and because the traces can show through the skin,

it is better to remove them and create a new double eyelid line.

At Thank You Plastic Surgery,

before proceeding with revision eyelid surgery,

they carefully identify the cause of the previous surgery’s failure

and the current condition of the eyes,

then create a customized surgical plan.

They conduct thorough consultations about the parts the patient is dissatisfied with,

their needs, and the areas they want improved.

Because revision eyelid surgery is performed based on this,

it is possible to improve the problems from the previous surgery

and create beautiful eyes again.

In addition, when functional problems occur,

they comprehensively consider these issues as well

so that they can not only create aesthetically pleasing eyes,

but also relieve the discomfort that appears in the eyes.

Because a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive anatomical knowledge

and experience in various eye surgeries performs the revision eyelid surgery,

you can undergo the procedure with peace of mind.

In addition, complex processes such as adhesiolysis,

suture removal, release of the existing line,

and setting a new line are performed with delicate manual skill,

minimizing tissue damage and allowing for natural-looking results.

If you are considering revision eyelid surgery because you are dissatisfied

with the results of a previous surgery or due to side effects,

it is important not to consider cost alone,

but to find a place that can accurately diagnose your eye condition

and resolve the problem.

Please keep this in mind, and I hope you can be reborn with beautiful eyes

at a clinic that is good at revision eyelid surgery.
