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

<Actual DM Plastic Surgery eyelid surgery case>

As the importance of appearance has been increasingly emphasized, among the various methods available for improving one’s appearance,

​​double-eyelid surgery is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures—so popular that there is even a joke that it is practically a routine treatment.

The presence or absence of a double-eyelid crease can significantly affect the size and appearance of the eyes,

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

it places relatively little burden on patients, leading many people to improve their image through double-eyelid surgery.

However, because the eyes are a popular area that can be changed relatively easily, the number of people seeking surgery has also led to an increase in cases requiring revision surgeryㅠㅠㅠ

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

Therefore, patients have no choice but to be even more cautious when choosing their second clinic,

and may face many concerns and difficulties.

Because revision eyelid surgery is more complicated than the first surgery, it should be performed carefully without making 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

✦ When the double-eyelid crease has disappeared

✦ Dissatisfaction with the double-eyelid line

✦ When the result looks unnatural because surgery was performed with a trendy crease without considering the patient’s individual facial features

✦ When the eyes are asymmetrical

✦ “Sausage eyes”

These are some of the various reasons patients visit us. Since the reasons each person considers double-eyelid revision surgery differ,

and the accompanying symptoms also vary, you should choose the surgical method that suits you through a thorough consultation with a specialist.

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

it is important to accurately identify the cause of failure in the previous surgery.

DM Plastic Surgery recommends the eyelid surgery best suited to each individual through one-on-one personalized eyelid surgery

and works to increase patient satisfaction.

※Please note that the degree of swelling and recovery may vary from person to person.※

When Is the Appropriate Time for Revision Surgery?

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

we recommend undergoing revision surgery at least six months later.

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

so that the problems with the current double-eyelid crease can be clearly assessed,

which can lead to a more satisfactory result when the surgery is performed.

The recovery period for 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 side effects 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.

Let DM Be Your Last Surgery

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

At DM Plastic Surgery, a specialist with more than 15 years of clinical experience personally consults with and treats each patient one-on-one,

so you can visit with greater peace of mind.

Before consulting with the doctor, you should think about how and in what ways you wanted your appearance to be improved when you underwent the first surgery.

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

so that you can achieve a satisfactory result from revision eyelid surgery.

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

and always work to help you achieve a satisfactory result.

Although eyelid surgery may appear relatively simple compared with other procedures,

it requires delicate skills and an aesthetic sense.

Therefore, you should proceed after consulting with experienced medical professionals who have extensive experience performing a wide range of cases
