When Is the Right Time for Revision Eyelid Surgery? 기준 for Line Loosening and Scars

Hello,

this is VN Plastic Surgery.

After primary eyelid surgery, many people decide to undergo revision eyelid surgery if they are dissatisfied with the line, if they have what is commonly called a "sausage eye," or if the crease has loosened.

So today, let’s talk about when it is best to have revision eyelid surgery after primary eyelid surgery.

After double eyelid surgery, the swelling recovery process should be allowed about one month.

The initial swelling appears on days 1 to 3,

and the stage when swelling goes down takes about 4 days to 2 weeks,

while it takes about 2 weeks to 1 month for the remaining swelling to subside.

Therefore, revision eyelid surgery is recommended about 6 months to 1 year after the first surgery so that the wound can heal sufficiently.

When people visit because of the cause of revision eyelid surgery, many are not sure whether their crease has loosened or whether the skin has stretched.

If the line feels as though it has disappeared entirely, it is likely that it has loosened.

If it feels like there are multiple overlapping layers, it is more likely that the skin has stretched.

VN revision eyelid surgery considers the traces of the first surgery when planning the revision design, and it can be divided into three stages.

Stage 1: plan a design that considers the individual’s facial proportions

Stage 2: identify the exact cause and determine the appropriate timing for revision surgery

Stage 3: reduce tissue damage to ease scarring and side effects

Most people worry about scarring after revision eyelid surgery, but at VN, the dissection process reduces the burden on the tissue.

This helps lower concerns about scarring and side effects, and we perform revision eyelid surgery with a focus on faster recovery.

After revision eyelid surgery, care is needed as follows.

For swelling management, cold and warm compresses are necessary, and for dietary management, you should drink water often and avoid spicy and salty foods.

For exercise, light stretching and frequent walks are recommended. These kinds of care help produce stable results, and it is good to maintain a careful routine.

If you have many concerns and are not sure how to proceed with revision eyelid surgery right now, it may be a good idea to visit VN and discuss it together.
