Why Extreme Eye Revision Surgery Is Difficult for Hooded Eyes, Asymmetric Eyes, and Double Fold Correction [VN Plastic Surgery, Gangnam]

Hello, this is VN Plastic Surgery.

While many people are satisfied with the results after double eyelid surgery,

there are also many cases where revision surgery is considered because

double folds become more pronounced or worsen,

there is a thick-looking line like hooded eyes,

the double eyelid looks unnatural,

there is asymmetry between the two eyes,

or there is severe adhesion and scarring.

In particular, when multiple problems appear together,

the difficulty is much higher than that of a typical eye revision surgery.

At VN Plastic Surgery, surgery that corrects and redesigns these highly difficult eye conditions

is called “extreme eye surgery” or “extreme eye.”

Today, we will take a closer look at extreme eye surgery,

a signature procedure by CEO Dr. Kim Tae-hoon.

What is extreme eye surgery?

Extreme eye surgery is not simply a procedure to recreate a double eyelid line.

It is a procedure that analyzes complex problems caused by a previous unsuccessful surgery, such as

• severe multiple folds *

• hooded eyes *

• line asymmetry *

• unnatural double eyelids *

• scars and adhesions *

• ptosis *

• sunken eyelids *

and redesigns the structure of the eyes.

In particular, extreme eye cases often involve multiple problems at the same time rather than just one.

For example,

severe multiple folds accompanied by sleepy-looking eyes,

or hooded eyes with an uneven line,

are very common complex extreme eye cases.

That is why extreme eye surgery can only be performed by medical staff with extensive experience,

refined design sensibility,

and a high level of anatomical understanding.

Extreme eye type 01. Extreme eyes with severe multiple folds

One of the most common types seen in extreme eye cases is “multiple folds.”

Multiple folds can make the eye line look messy as the double eyelid creases into several layers,

and can make the overall impression look tired and sleepy.

In particular, when the eyelids are sunken

or the existing adhesions are severe,

multiple folds become even more noticeable.

For this type of extreme eye, simply redefining the line does not solve the problem.

It is important to analyze the existing adhesions and tissue condition,

remove unnecessary adhesions,

and form a natural line again.

Extreme eye type 02. Thick double eyelids, hooded eyes

One type that takes up a very large share of extreme eye surgery consultations

is hooded eyes.

Hooded eyes often occur when the double eyelid line was set too high during the first surgery

or fixed too deeply.

The eyes may look thick as if they are swollen,

and the line may appear strongly pulled upward,

making the impression look heavy and unnatural.

In particular, hooded eyes among extreme eye cases often require lowering the line through a procedure called double-line revision.

Even when lowering the line,

the skin thickness, degree of adhesion, scar tissue, and fat condition

must all be carefully considered and precisely corrected

to create a natural and soft eye shape.

Extreme eye type 03. Scars, uneven eyes, and asymmetrical eyes

Among extreme eye patients,

there are many cases where scars remain after a previous surgery,

making the eyes look asymmetrical.

One side may have a higher line,

or the eyelid-opening strength may differ, making the eyes look uneven,

and in some cases the eye movement itself may feel unnatural due to scar adhesions.

Such extreme eyes require a highly precise approach to correct asymmetry.

This is because the structure of both eyes,

the amount of available skin,

and the height of the existing line all need to be considered in order to achieve balance.

In particular, since even a slight difference in extreme eye surgery can greatly change the impression,

the expertise of an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon is important.

Extreme eye type 04. Uneven and unnatural lines

A line that is not smooth,

looks broken,

or appears uneven as it continues is also a representative extreme eye type.

These extreme eyes often become more noticeable when smiling or closing the eyes,

and can make the impression look strong or awkward.

An unnatural line is not only an aesthetic issue,

but can also affect the overall atmosphere of the face,

so it is important to improve the flow of the line cleanly.

In extreme eye revision surgery,

the procedure is carried out with consideration for the continuity of the line from the inner corner to the outer corner of the eye

and the left-right balance,

with the goal of creating a more natural eye shape.

Extreme eye type 05. Ptosis and sleepy-looking eyes

Ptosis, in which the eyelid-opening strength is weak, is also one of the extreme eye types.

When ptosis is present,

the amount of visible pupil is small,

so the eyes may look sleepy or stuffy.

In particular, if multiple folds or hooded eyes are accompanied by sleepy-looking eyes,

it is often necessary to consider eyelid correction at the same time.

In such cases, it is important not only to improve the double eyelid line,

but also to analyze and improve the functional aspect of opening the eyes,

in order to expect a high level of satisfaction.

Why is experience important in extreme eye surgery?

Extreme eyes are different from general eye surgery

in the approach itself.

In many cases, tissue has already been damaged

and adhesions have progressed through multiple previous surgeries.

Also, because there is not just one problem

but multiple complex issues,

the surgical method must differ from case to case.

For some extreme eyes, adhesion release may be the key.

For others, lowering the line may be important.

For yet others, eyelid correction may need to be performed together

to create natural results.

In other words, extreme eye surgery is not a procedure that follows a fixed formula,

but a high-difficulty surgery that must be approached in a completely different way

depending on each person’s eye condition.

CEO Dr. Kim Tae-hoon of VN Plastic Surgery has performed delicate surgeries based on his accumulated expertise and technical skill,

gained through many years of experience with numerous extreme eye cases.

Extreme eye surgery requires sufficient consultation and accurate analysis

Extreme eyes should not be approached with the simple idea

of just recreating the line.

You must be able to accurately understand the current eye condition,

and consider why it became unnatural,

as well as both the functional and aesthetic aspects of the eyes,

to lead to satisfactory results.

Because the results of extreme eye surgery can vary greatly depending on the medical team’s experience and design sense,

sufficient consultation and a thorough diagnosis are important.

If you are feeling stressed because of extreme eye concerns,

we recommend that you receive a thorough consultation from CEO Dr. Kim Tae-hoon of VN Plastic Surgery,

who has experience and know-how with a wide range of cases.
