[Lari Plastic Surgery] Double Eyelid Revision Surgery: Lowering the Line and Recovery Period Must-Know!

As I meet many patients who come to the clinic for consultations,

there are often people who insist on a large, thick double eyelid.

Compared with Westerners, East Asians often have sunken eyes due to facial structure,

and many also have fuller eyelids,

so there are not many people for whom a large, thick double eyelid suits them.

That is why these days, the people who come to the clinic for double eyelid revision surgery often have surgery to remove the double eyelid line or change it to a very subtle inner line that is close to no visible crease for men,

and to a natural in-line crease for women.

The eyes mentioned above are usually eyes that suit a natural look with a thin double eyelid line better than a large, thick double eyelid,

and in these before-and-after photos, you can clearly feel the difference in image and impression brought about by the change in the double eyelid line.

Even though the double eyelid line became much thinner than before surgery,

the eyes actually look clearer,

which gives the impression that a thin line suits them well.

Of course, it took three months to get to this point.

As you know, double eyelid surgery is a procedure that takes a long time for swelling to subside and for the eyes to settle,

so the condition right after surgery or on the day stitches are removed may look much worse than expected

and may be very disappointing.

However, plastic surgery is a change for the future, not for tomorrow.

On the day of stitch removal, 5 days after surgery, this patient also worried a lot, saying that their current eye condition did not seem any different from before surgery

and asking whether it would just settle in like this.

It is understandable to worry,

but at this stage the surgery has gone well, so patience is needed.

After that waiting period, at the 3-month mark,

the swelling had gone down and the eyes had settled well,

leading to the desired result.

In fact, not everyone’s eyes settle within 3 months.

There are certainly differences in each person’s recovery period,

and within those differences, people spend time recovering under the assumption that recovery will happen.

Even if children differ in when they start speaking,

they all eventually learn to speak well;

in the same way, it is important to have a positive mindset so that you do not make yourself suffer by looking in the mirror every day because you dislike the appearance right away,

or give up just because the recovery period is long.

PS. After surgery, most patients think they should not exert force with their eyes,

so many people keep their eyes relaxed when opening them.

To help the double eyelids settle quickly and nicely,

be careful not to look down casually with your chin raised,

and make a habit of opening your eyes clearly by tucking your chin in,

while also trying not to open your eyes by using the muscles of the forehead and eyebrows.
