Important Points to Consider When Thinking About Revision Surgery After Eye Surgery

The first impression of eye plastic surgery is often expressed as, “Your eyes are pretty,”

because the eyes are the most noticeable feature on the face.

Through the eyes, a person’s impression can come across as “cold,” “sharp,” or “soft,” “kind-looking,” and so on,

a variety of different feelings can be conveyed.

So when many people think about plastic surgery, eye plastic surgery is often the first thing they mention. However, because eye plastic surgery is a procedure that many people know about and want to have,

most plastic surgery clinics basically offer eye plastic surgery.

Even so, the results do not always satisfy everyone. You can easily find stories on various apps and online about receiving revision surgery after eye plastic surgery,

or considering surgery. Why does that happen?

There can be many reasons for deciding on revision eye surgery. For example, after double eyelid surgery, the line may not look the way you wanted,

or it may be too low and look like an inner double eyelid.

Also, the double eyelid line may come undone or become a layered double eyelid, making the eyes look sleepy,

or severe asymmetry may occur, or the eye shape may be overcorrected so the eyes do not close properly.

Because of these problems, many people consider revision eye surgery.

Then, when considering revision eye surgery, what is the most important point to think about?

The first important thing is to figure out why the previous surgery failed. There can be various reasons for surgical failure.

First of all, in many cases, surgery was performed without properly understanding the condition of one’s eyes.

It is important to accurately assess the fat condition of the eyelids, the degree of medial canthal exposure, and the angle of the back side.

Rather than guessing this yourself, it is best to receive a diagnosis from a board-certified plastic surgeon.

Second, some people decide on surgery while focusing only on things that are not the important parts of the procedure, such as cost or distance.

Eye surgery is a procedure where experience and skill matter more than almost any other surgery,

and if you proceed with surgery considering only low cost or convenience, unsatisfactory results may occur.

Therefore, finding a surgeon who performs the surgery well can be said to be the most important factor in making your choice.

Lastly, the surgeon’s career and experience are important factors. The less experienced the surgeon is, the more likely the surgical results may be unsatisfactory,

so before proceeding with surgery, it is important to check how many cases the surgeon has handled

and whether they have experience performing revision surgeries for a variety of eye types.

Because the diagnosis of cases that require revision surgery differs from person to person,

it is most important to receive an accurate diagnosis through a consultation and proceed with the surgery that suits you.

※ Because side effects such as inflammation, bleeding, and nerve damage may occur depending on the individual, sufficient consultation with medical staff is necessary before surgery.
