Hello! This is Eyefit Plastic Surgery.
Many people worry when, after double eyelid surgery, the crease becomes less defined over time
or starts to loosen.
Today, we’ll explain in detail the causes of this double eyelid loosening phenomenon
and how to help prevent it 😊
Did my double eyelid loosen? Self-check method!
![[Double Eyelid Dissolving] Why Does It Happen? From Causes to Solutions! image 1](https://pub-9f2bb3498faf4d1d8714b41df24753e3.r2.dev/content/clinics/archive/sutvugm6fr/naver_blog/eyefitps/assets/by_hash/edc3cff729b57e4a4c62ff264de6a5a7850e11f7012ebe4341af1fc99728a939.jpg)
Many people may be unsure whether it has actually loosened or whether it is a natural change.
✅ The double eyelid line has become thinner or less defined than before
✅ The double eyelid line is clear in the morning but disappears by evening
✅ A lot of force is used in the forehead when opening the eyes
✅ You often hear that your eyes look sleepy
If two or more of the above apply, there is a high chance that the double eyelid is
slowly loosening.
Whether it is simply a change or a condition that requires revision surgery depends on an accurate diagnosis,
so it is best to visit the clinic :)
What causes double eyelids to loosen?

The causes of double eyelid loosening can be considered separately depending on whether the surgery was
non-incisional or incisional.
In the case of the non-incisional method, the surgery connects the skin and the eyelid-opening part (tarsal plate)
with threads to create adhesion,
so if the threads loosen, the double eyelid may loosen as well.
In the case of the incisional method, if the dissection or fixation becomes loose during the process
where the skin and tissues adhere,
or if the fixation depth was made shallow to create a more natural look,
there is a possibility that the crease can loosen even after an incision procedure.
What bad habits make double eyelids loosen easily?

There are some bad habits that can cause double eyelids to loosen:
The habit of removing eye makeup too forcefully
The habit of pulling the eyelids strongly when inserting or removing contact lenses
The habit of rubbing the eyes frequently
The habit of squinting often or opening the eyes by using the forehead
The habit of sleeping face down, and so on.
To maintain a beautiful double eyelid line,
please be sure to avoid these bad habits!
How is revision surgery done for loosened double eyelids?

Because there are various double eyelid surgery methods,
first it is important to check which method was used.
Also, depending on the scar condition, it is necessary to carefully judge whether an incisional method should be used
or whether the non-incisional method is possible.
Depending on the recovery speed and the condition of the scar,
even people who originally had incisional surgery may, in some cases,
undergo revision surgery with the non-incisional method.
In the case of the non-incisional method, when the double eyelid loosens,
if scars and recovery time are a burden, you can choose the non-incisional method instead of an incision,
and if you want stronger long-term retention, the incisional method may be more suitable :)
What if only one side of the double eyelid loosens?
![[Double Eyelid Dissolving] Why Does It Happen? From Causes to Solutions! image 6](https://pub-9f2bb3498faf4d1d8714b41df24753e3.r2.dev/content/clinics/archive/sutvugm6fr/naver_blog/eyefitps/assets/by_hash/444b68cad940221ac43f90e03f6f52a29affc8e1bcfcefefb4feea92c345bd41.jpg)
There are cases where only one side of the double eyelid loosens.
After checking whether it is possible to match the natural symmetry with the existing double eyelid line,
if possible, revision surgery can be performed on only one side.
However, in general, after considering various factors such as the fixation depth of the double eyelid, postoperative scars,
and skin condition, if significant asymmetry is expected,
both sides are treated.
This time, we looked at the phenomenon of loosening after double eyelid surgery.
Among revision surgery cases, double eyelid loosening accounts for the largest share.
It can be improved sufficiently, so if your double eyelids have loosened,
please visit the clinic and receive an accurate diagnosis :)
