Revision surgery is
Evaluationis half of it.

Revision double eyelid surgery refers to all surgical procedures that address various issues related to the eyelids. Although it is a common surgery, it ranges from simple to complex methods, making the preoperative assessment the most crucial step.

An accurate evaluation is possible only with a thorough understanding of the complex anatomy of the eye and the dynamic process of opening it. Therefore, it is important to receive it from a specialist with diverse and extensive experience.

Timing

Revision surgery is
When Should I do it?

After the primary surgery, once the scars heal and the swelling subsides, the double eyelid line will fully settle. This period usually takes about 6 months to a year.

If you undergo revision surgery while it is still healing, the existing skin tissue is already damaged, which can cause side effects to recur or make the eye shape look even more unnatural. Since recovery time varies from person to person, it is advisable to monitor the progress for 6 months to 1 year and then consult a specialist to determine if revision surgery is possible.

When the double eyelid line is too low

Redesign to the desired line and choose the method that suits your eye condition. If the line has lowered due to sagging skin, cut away the sagging skin to create height.

When double eyelids have come undone

When double eyelids have come undone

We redesign the loosened line and perform surgery using an incisional, non-incisional (buried suture), or partial incisional method suited to your eye condition to prevent it from coming undone. If you want definitive results, the incisional method is recommended.

In cases of severe scarring

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

QHow many times can revision surgery be performed?

With each revision surgery, the amount of available tissue decreases, increasing the difficulty. Therefore, it is important to accurately analyze the cause and choose a definitive method during the second surgery.

QIs it okay to have revision surgery at a different hospital from where I had my first surgery?

Yes, it is possible. However, knowing the method and timing of the first surgery will help with the evaluation, so please share any information you have during the consultation.

QDo I only need surgery on one side for asymmetrical eyes?

While it is possible to correct only one side, the fixation methods and tissue conditions differ on each side, so in most cases, aligning both sides together yields better results.
