Among cosmetic surgeries, double eyelid surgery attracts the most attention. It is relatively simple, and because it often makes the eyes look bigger after surgery, it is one of the best-value procedures. However, because it is such a commonly performed surgery, there are also many stories and many problems. In fact, there are cases where problems occur because the double eyelid surgery itself did not go well, but there are also quite a few cases where, as time goes by after double eyelid surgery, the fold comes undone or becomes unsatisfactory. It is similar to replacing the pump in a boiler with a broken water-pressure pump—not that it will be used forever without any problems, but that another part may break down someday.

If the double eyelid surgery was done poorly, or if the eyelid shape is not satisfying, people usually describe this as "the double eyelid surgery failed." This is considered a #sideeffectofdoubleeyelidsurgery. Side effects of double eyelid surgery include a fold that has come undone, asymmetry between the two eyes, sausage eyelids, double folds, and double eyelid scars, but these problems seem to come down to two main issues in the end: left-right asymmetry or scars from the surgery. Both can be corrected with revision double eyelid surgery.

Types of side effects from double eyelid surgery

  • Asymmetry and scarring

  • Asymmetry - loosening of the double eyelid fold, double folds, etc.

  • Scarring - incision scars, sausage eyelids, etc.

Of course, many people ask whether the first surgery just needs to be done well from the start. But as mentioned above, no matter how carefully and properly double eyelid surgery is performed, there are cases where the fold loosens as you live while blinking tens of thousands of times a day, or cases where it gets covered because the skin sags. So although most people only undergo double eyelid surgery once in their lifetime, unfortunately there are also many cases where #doubleeyelidrevisionsurgery is needed for correction.

There are many kinds of side effects in life. Disease, accidents, failure, things not going as planned in study or work, and so on. Our attitude and methods for dealing with these various side effects of life can differ. The way people respond to side effects from double eyelid surgery also varies from person to person, but the wisest approach is to properly understand the side effects and have your eye condition examined by a plastic surgery specialist who focuses on revision surgery, then consult about the appropriate way to handle it.
