Let's Find Out How Many Times Eye Surgery Revisions Are Possible!

Hello.

This is Vibe Plastic Surgery.

​

​

As eye surgery is a more

popularized procedure compared to other plastic surgeries,

there are also many cases of revision surgery.

​

For those preparing for eye surgery

or those considering a revision,

one of the biggest concerns is

exactly how many times revision surgery is possible.

Let's find out about this.

​

​

The causes for revision surgery are truly diverse.

​

01. When you had natural adhesion or a non-incisional method

but the double eyelid crease loosens

​

02. When you are simply dissatisfied with the crease line

​

03. In cases of double eyelid side effects

- When the double eyelid crease is too high

- When the left and right double eyelids are asymmetrical in size

- When the eyelashes are everted (turned upwards)

- When ptosis is not properly corrected

​

​

Among the causes for revision surgery,

the one that accounts for the largest percentage

is dissatisfaction with the double eyelid crease line.

​

The reason is that usually, when getting eye surgery,

without considering one's own eye condition and various factors,

people often choose the trendy eye shape of that time

to proceed with the surgery.

​

Rather than a trendy style,

we recommend getting eye surgery

in a style that suits you best.

​

​

Why does the double eyelid loosen?

​

The most common cause

is having weak eye-opening muscle strength.

Because the double eyelid is formed

by the strength used to open the eyes,

if this strength is weak, it is bound to loosen easily.

​

In this case, an additional procedure called ptosis correction must be performed

for the crease line to appear clearly and satisfactorily.

​

​

After natural adhesion or the suture method,

if you are simply dissatisfied with the line,

it is entirely possible to perform the surgery again using a non-incisional method

to match the new line.

​

However, if the double eyelid crease has loosened,

the exact reason for the loosening must be identified

before proceeding with the eye surgery.

​

​

If it loosened because the skin is thick and has a lot of fat,

there is a high probability that it will loosen again

if the surgery is performed again using a non-incisional method.

​

Therefore, in such cases,

you must use an incisional method to sufficiently remove

the interfering factors that cause the line to loosen,

and remove the fat as well,

in order to achieve a satisfactory

revision surgery result.

​

​

The number of possible revisions

is not so much about 'the difference in surgical methods,'

but rather, there is another important factor.

​

It is the fact that your current eye condition

must be accurately assessed

before proceeding with the eye surgery.

​

​

There is no set limit to the number of revision surgeries.

Incisional surgery is a double eyelid surgery where the eyelid is incised

and sutured to create a line.

The more revisions you have, the thinner the skin becomes,

and the less excess skin you have available,

so you must proceed after a thorough consultation with the medical staff

before undergoing revision surgery.

​

​

If there is enough excess skin,

it is possible to have multiple revisions as many times as you want.

​

However, no matter how many times revision surgery is possible,

you cannot keep doing it indefinitely,

so it is important to make a proper plan

and proceed with the eye surgery correctly the first time.

​

​

Usually, the timing for revision surgery

is largely divided into two categories.

These are early correction and late correction.

​

What is early correction?

When correction is needed in the early stages—

that is, if the asymmetry is too severe

or if immediate correction is not done due to other side effects,

and there are concerns about stress

if it settles in its current state—

early correction can be performed within 2 weeks

after consulting with the medical staff.

​

What is late correction?

Considering the process of the scar fully healing after eye surgery,

when the procedure is performed after observing for about 6 months,

it is called late correction.

​

For eye surgery, doing the first surgery well

is the most basic and important thing,

but you may be considering revision surgery for various reasons.

Eye revision surgery may not be as burdensome

as you might worry,

so we recommend having a thorough consultation with the medical staff.
