Revision Eyelid Surgery: Identifying the Cause of Failure Is Most Important!

<Actual eyelid surgery case at DM Plastic Surgery>

As the importance of appearance has become increasingly emphasized, among the various ways to improve one’s appearance,

double-eyelid surgery is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures—so popular that it is sometimes jokingly referred to as a treatment.

The presence or absence of a double-eyelid crease can greatly affect the size and overall impression of the eyes,

and because the procedure is relatively simple compared with methods involving shaving bone or inserting implants,

many people choose double-eyelid surgery to improve their appearance with comparatively less 부담.

However, because the eyes are a popular area that is relatively easy to alter, the number of people who end up undergoing revision surgery is also increasingㅠㅠㅠ

Even when the surgery was carefully chosen, having to undergo revision surgery can be a significant psychological burden.

Therefore, people inevitably have to be even more careful when choosing a second clinic,

and may experience considerable worry and difficulty.

Because revision eyelid surgery is more complex than the first surgery, it should be performed carefully rather than based on a hasty decision.

It is also most important to identify the problems and causes of the first surgery.

At DM Plastic Surgery,

we deeply understand the disappointment patients may feel,

and accordingly develop more systematic surgical plans.

Types of Revision Surgery

✦ Cases where the double-eyelid crease has disappeared

✦ Dissatisfaction with the double-eyelid crease

✦ Cases where the eyes look unnatural because surgery was performed to create a currently fashionable crease without considering the individual’s facial features

✦ Cases involving asymmetry between the two sides

✦ “Sausage eyes”

People visit us for various reasons such as these, and the reasons each individual considers double-eyelid revision surgery differ.

Since the associated symptoms also vary, you should choose a surgical method suited to you through a thorough consultation with a specialist.

Since the surgical method varies depending on the cause and the individual,

it is important to accurately identify the reason the previous surgery was unsuccessful.

DM Plastic Surgery recommends the eyelid surgery that best suits each individual through one-on-one customized eyelid surgery,

and works to increase patient satisfaction.

When Is the Right Time for Revision Surgery?

Because this is a complex surgery that must be performed after identifying the cause and the problems,

we recommend waiting at least six months before undergoing revision surgery.

Revision surgery should be performed once the results of the initial surgery have sufficiently settled,

as this makes it possible to clearly assess the problems with the current double-eyelid crease

and achieve a more satisfactory result when the surgery is performed.

The recovery period for the double-eyelid tissue is also at least six months.

If surgery is performed forcefully before the tissue has properly recovered,

there may be a possibility of complications and an even less favorable result.

Therefore, it is advisable to decide whether to undergo revision surgery after consulting with a specialist who has extensive clinical experience.

So That DM Can Be Your Last Choice

Sufficient communication between the attending specialist and the patient is necessary before surgery.

At DM Plastic Surgery, specialists with more than 15 years of clinical experience personally consult with and treat patients one-on-one, allowing you to visit with greater peace of mind.

Before consulting with the doctor, you should think about which aspects you wanted to improve and how you wanted them improved when you underwent your first surgery.

You should also clearly consider what you were dissatisfied with after the surgery and explain it to the medical staff.

This will help you achieve a more satisfactory result from revision eyelid surgery.

We provide treatment using safe and effective methods to prevent the same problem from occurring again,

and always work to help you achieve a satisfactory result.
