Let’s Find Out Why the First Double Eyelid Revision Surgery Failed image 1

The eyes are one of the important elements that are indispensable in life.

They are not only about securing a field of vision so we can look ahead, but also play a major aesthetic role because they are where people’s gaze naturally falls first when facing someone.

Perhaps because of this, these days appearance is also seen as part of self-care, so many people get double eyelid surgery or epicanthoplasty in order to have more attractive eyes.

In addition, double eyelid revision surgery is done not only for the sake of having beautiful eyes, but also to help when there are functional problems due to ptosis and other issues.

Because eye plastic surgery is used widely in many ways, both aesthetically and functionally, it has become very common.

However, one thing to be careful about is that because eye plastic surgery is so common, people may think it is easy and proceed without sufficient caution.

As a result, even after surgery, the eyes may feel awkward and unnatural, and other problems may arise, such as scars remaining or the design not being set correctly.

After finally undergoing surgery, getting a poor result due to side effects and other issues can be upsetting, and every time you look in the mirror, it may lower your self-esteem and confidence.

Such a discouraged state can also show up as a lack of confidence in social life and have a negative effect.

However, just because the first surgery failed does not mean it cannot be corrected.

That is why it is possible to restore failed eyes through double eyelid revision surgery and create beautiful, attractive eyes.

For revision surgery, the first step is to analyze the cause of the failure.

The reasons for failure vary from person to person, and because you need to identify the cause in order to take the right measures.

A common cause of failure is not removing an appropriate amount of fat properly, or making the line too thick so that it becomes sausage-like.

In such cases, during double eyelid revision surgery, the thick line that was previously created must be loosened, and more fat tissue must be removed to create a new line that suits the eye shape.

In other cases, a buried suture double eyelid may loosen over time, leading to uneven eyes and prompting surgery.

These cases happen because an eye shape that should have been treated with incisional surgery from the beginning was forcibly tied with the non-fixed buried suture method, and then loosened over time.

There are also cases in which people who had surgery for droopy eyes did not improve as they wanted, and the drooping became even more pronounced.

In such cases, the person had ptosis symptoms, but because it was not accurately identified and the correction process was also not carried out, the desired result could not be achieved.

At that point, improvement can be made through additional eye correction during double eyelid revision surgery.

In this way, double eyelid revision surgery can be managed in a variety of cases.

The key is to analyze the cause of the failure first, minimize tissue damage, and carefully analyze the individual’s eye structure and characteristics to perform revision surgery suited to the facial features and face shape.

In particular, revision surgery is safe and reliable because the dedicated doctor personally handles everything from consultation to surgery.

Every step is carried out delicately and thoroughly, and aftercare is also provided carefully so that problems do not recur or side effects do not develop, which is why patient satisfaction after surgery is very high.

One of the biggest concerns after surgery is scarring. At this clinic, even the scars from the first double eyelid surgery are delicately removed and re-sutured, so you can put that concern aside as well.

When it comes to plastic surgery, it is important to choose a place that carefully examines your features, understands your facial structure, and proposes a design that suits your face shape.

However, even if the surgery fails, do not despair unconditionally; through revision surgery, we hope you can regain a beautiful line.

To expect successful revision surgery results, the timing of the surgery is also important.

It is best to proceed after identifying the problem, but because it is a surgery that irritates the skin, you should plan with the timing in mind.

If the line looks unnatural right after surgery, one option is to receive a consultation within 2 weeks after surgery and undergo double eyelid revision surgery before it settles in.

Usually, it is best to wait about 6 months, when the redness has disappeared and the scar has softened, in order to minimize scarring and proceed with revision surgery.

If there is inflammation, it is helpful to wait until the inflammation subsides.

To move away from eyes that look awkwardly swollen and thick and find a natural, defined eye shape, we provide careful consultation with the dedicated doctor as well as thorough handling from the process to aftercare, working to achieve a satisfying procedure.
