How to Avoid Failure in Revision Eye Surgery?

Hello.

This is Vibe Plastic Surgery.

​

As eye surgery is the most frequently performed plastic surgery,

many patients also visit our clinic for revision eye surgery.

What exactly should you consider when undergoing revision eye surgery

to ensure it doesn't fail?

​

Why does eye surgery fail?

​

Rather than unconditionally large and distinct eyes or trend-following designs,

the surgery must be performed with a design that harmonizes with your own facial features and proportions

to prevent the need for revision surgery.

​

Choosing the right line and surgical method for you

​

For double eyelid surgery,

such as full incision, non-incision, partial incision, and ptosis correction,

there are various surgical methods available.

Before surgery, considering your facial features and eye shape,

you must choose the line and surgical method that best suits you.

A one-size-fits-all surgical approach can lead to dissatisfaction and side effects,

which is why careful selection is necessary.

​

Unsatisfactory lines: Is re-creating them the solution?

​

Among those who visit our clinic,

there are cases where patients simply want to lower

or raise their eyelid line.

In cases of simply unsatisfactory designs,

we must analyze not only the line but also the skin tissue

and the root cause of the failure.

​

Revision eye surgery due to sagging at the inner corners of the eyes?

​

If there is skin sagging at the inner corners of the eyes, the incision

cannot be extended far inward, making it difficult to resolve, and

due to the collision of skin boundaries in the area connecting to the nose,

fine wrinkles may also develop.

Additionally, the size of the tarsal plate at the inner corner is small,

and the fat layer is thick, which can easily cause the line fixation

to become loose. Therefore,

if revision eye surgery is performed in this case,

there are many factors to consider.

​

Revision Eye Surgery Cases

​

✔ Sausage eyes

👉 Lowering the double eyelid line to improve it into a natural crease

​

✔ Asymmetrical double eyelids

​

✔ Unraveled (loosened) double eyelids

👉 Analyzing the cause of the loosening to suggest an appropriate method

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I avoid failure during revision eye surgery?

Yes, you should choose a harmonious design and surgical method that suits your facial features. Blindly following large, trendy eye shapes or applying standardized surgical methods can lead to dissatisfaction or side effects, so caution is required.

If I don't like my double eyelid line, can I just reshape the line?

No, simply reshaping the line is difficult to resolve the issue. To improve an unsatisfactory design, revision surgery must be performed by comprehensively analyzing not only the existing line but also the patient's skin tissue condition and the cause of the previous surgery's failure.

Can 'sausage eyes' or asymmetrical double eyelids be corrected with revision surgery?

Yes, it is possible. In the case of 'sausage eyes,' the double eyelid line can be lowered for a natural improvement, and for asymmetrical eyes, the surgery is performed by re-correcting the line to match the desired eye shape of the patient.

Is revision eye surgery difficult if there is drooping at the inner corner of the eye?

Yes, it is quite difficult due to many factors to consider. It is difficult to extend the incision long inwards, and fine wrinkles can form in the area connected to the nose. Additionally, the tarsal plate size at the inner corner is small and the fat layer is thick, making line fixation prone to loosening.

How is post-operative care managed after revision eye surgery?

If necessary, thorough post-operative care is provided using swelling lasers and scar injections. For successful results, it is important to choose a place that offers systematic management not only for the surgery itself but also to prevent unwanted adhesions and minimize scars.
