Hello.
This is Vibe Plastic Surgery.
As the frequency of double eyelid surgeries increases these days,
the number of cases requiring double eyelid restoration surgery is also increasing.
Because of this, if you are not satisfied with your double eyelids,
you might wonder if they can be undone right away.
Many people are likely curious about this.
So today, we will take a detailed look
at double eyelid restoration surgery.
In the early stages when there is swelling,
the line inevitably looks thicker than expected,
which can naturally feel a bit burdensome.
Therefore, you should wait until the swelling subsides
and the double eyelid settles into place
before deciding whether revision surgery is necessary.
Usually, after about 4 to 6 months,
once the swelling has mostly gone down
and the final shape has settled,
we recommend making the decision
on whether or not to undo the double eyelid.
Even if you feel the swelling has sufficiently subsided
and the line has settled,
if you are still unsatisfied with the results,
there are cases where you may need to plan
a surgery to undo the double eyelid.
The Core of Double Eyelid Reversal Surgery
Like natural adhesion,
when a non-incisional method is used,
finding and removing the thread knots
is considered the core of the surgery.
When surgery was performed using the incisional method,
approaching through the existing incision scar,
removing all internal adhesions,
and readjusting to the desired height
is the core of the double eyelid reversal surgery.
Because there are differences in recovery speed
and the degree of swelling for each individual,
it is difficult to give a uniform answer, but
in generally fast cases, even after 4 months,
double eyelid revision or restoration surgery
may be possible.
When making an incision to enter,
it is possible to see exactly where the threads are located,
so removing all threads and preventing new adhesions from forming
by applying anti-adhesion agents or performing fat repositioning
are methods used as preventive measures
to ensure a double eyelid does not form again
in that area.
01. Incision through the existing double eyelid line
02. Releasing all adhered areas
03. Preventive measures to stop the double eyelid from reforming
Because the surgery proceeds using the above methods,
it is naturally a revision surgery,
and it also falls under the category of highly difficult surgeries.
In the case of double eyelid revision surgery,
you should not judge the results based on
the initial swelling and bruising,
so after it has sufficiently settled,
we recommend thinking carefully about whether
undoing the double eyelid is the right choice and consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon
before making a decision.
Do not stress over not having
your desired eye shape; from the beginning to the final care,
at Vibe Plastic Surgery, which operates on a 1:1 dedicated system with the chief surgeon,
we hope you correct the cause of the failure and improve it
into the eye shape you desire.
Frequently Asked Questions
When is double eyelid revision surgery possible after the initial surgery?
It is usually possible after 4-6 months, once all the swelling has subsided and the line has fully settled. Depending on individual recovery speed, revision surgery can be performed as early as 4 months, so consultation with a specialist is necessary.
Can double eyelids created with a non-incisional method be undone?
Yes, it is possible. If the surgery was performed using a non-incisional method like natural adhesion, the double eyelid is undone by finding and removing the knots of the thread used during the surgery.
How is double eyelid undoing surgery performed for the incisional method?
It is performed by accessing along the existing incision scar and removing all internal adhesions. Afterward, the height is readjusted to the desired level, and taking preventive measures to ensure the double eyelid does not reappear is key.
Will the double eyelid line not reappear in the area where it was undone?
Preventive measures are taken to ensure it does not reappear. After incising and removing all threads, recurrence of the double eyelid is prevented by spraying an adhesion prevention agent or performing fat repositioning to prevent new adhesions from forming.
Is double eyelid revision surgery a difficult procedure?
Yes, it is a difficult revision surgery. Since it involves incising the existing line, releasing all adhered areas, and taking preventive measures to prevent recurrence, it must be decided after consultation with a skilled plastic surgeon.
