When is the best time to get double eyelid revision surgery?
Generally, the best time is 6 months after the initial surgery. This is because the tissue condition stabilizes over time compared to the early period after surgery. However, there are exceptional cases that require early correction, so it is important to consult with a specialist to determine the exact timing.
How is revision surgery performed if the double eyelid line has loosened?
First, the exact cause of the loosening is identified, and then a customized surgery is performed. Instead of simply fixing the line more strongly, the most suitable surgical method is applied based on the patient's skin thickness and fat amount to correct it into a natural-looking line.
Can 'sausage eye' side effects also be resolved with revision surgery?
Yes, it can be resolved through surgery tailored to the fundamental cause. 'Sausage eye' can occur due to various reasons, such as too much tissue below the double eyelid or excessively strong fixation, so accurately identifying and correcting these causes is key.
What is the most important consideration for double eyelid revision surgery?
Accurately analyzing the cause of the failure of the first surgery is the most important. Since there may already be tissue damage or adhesions, a customized plan must be made by comprehensively considering the current line height, the power of opening the eyes, the amount of fat, and the depth of fixation.
