[Lari Plastic Surgery] Revision Double Eyelid Surgery to Correct Mucosal Exposure Caused by Sausage-Like Eyelids

Sometimes, among people who have had double eyelid surgery,

there are cases where the mucosa is pulled up, making the roots of the upper eyelashes fully visible.

This mucosal exposure phenomenon is called ectropion. A severe case of ectropion can cause the eyelid to turn outward and hang away from the eyeball, but if it is not severe, it may only appear as raised mucosa.

Like this.

For people like this, even if they apply eyeliner, the edge of the eye may still look white because the mucosa is exposed, which can look unappealing.

To correct mucosal exposure,

a sausage-like double eyelid line that does not suit the eyes needs to be made more natural.

If the double eyelid line is lowered to better suit the eyes, the mucosal exposure is naturally corrected. However, it takes time for it to become this natural.

On the day of stitch removal, 5 days after surgery, swelling means there is little difference in the size of the double eyelids compared to before surgery, but by the second month, as the line gradually lowers, the mucosal exposure slowly decreases, and by 4 months after surgery, when it changes into a hidden double eyelid line, you can see that the mucosal exposure has completely disappeared.

As you look at the way the double eyelid line changes over time, there is one more thing to check.

This photo was taken on the day the stitches were removed. If you look here, you can see that the double eyelid line at the outer end splits into two branches.

This is one of the things many people ask about after double eyelid surgery.

A split at the outer end of the double eyelid line usually appears when the outer part of the line has been pinched too deeply or is too thick, and in most cases it improves naturally as the swelling goes down.

At the time, many people worry that the line will settle like that, but as you can see, as time passes after surgery, the swelling goes down and the line naturally becomes smaller, settling nicely into a single line.

(No need to worry!)

Through moisturizing both sides, as time passes and the sausage-like eyelids are corrected, you can clearly see the upper eyelashes that were previously lifted by the mucosa gradually moving downward.

A thinner, more natural double eyelid line not only suits the current eyes much better than the thicker line, but as the mucosal exposure is corrected, dry eyes or eye irritation that could result from it may also improve.
