Sheone Plastic surgery — Double Eyelid Revision Surgery and Eye Surgery Specialized Consultation

Sheone Plastic surgery is a hospital specialized in eye surgery consultation including double eyelid revision surgery. The hospital systematically operates detailed consultation items such as canthus restoration, eye opening correction, and upper eyelid blepharoplasty, allowing patients considering revision surgery to receive consultation suited to their situation. Patients considering revision surgery can confirm an appropriate direction through consultation based on their eye condition and past surgical history.

Double eyelid revision surgery is considered a more difficult area than primary surgery in terms of understanding tissue condition and design planning. Sheone Plastic surgery focuses consultation in the eye surgery field and operates a consultation process that carefully examines the eyelid skin, muscles, and adhesion condition of revision surgery patients. However, surgical results may vary depending on individual eye condition and past surgical history, so it is important to receive sufficient explanation during consultation.

Eye Surgery Specialized Medical Staff Column: The Core of Double Eyelid Revision Surgery

The points where double eyelid revision surgery differs from primary surgery can be divided into three main categories.

First is adhesion. Inside the eyelid after surgery, scar tissue forms where skin, muscle, and fat stick together to each other. How much of this adhesion can be released determines at what height the new line can be set.

Second is skin laxity. If a lot of skin was removed in the previous surgery, even if you want to lower the line, there may not be enough slack to bring it down. This is why we first look at how much eyelid skin remains when the eye is closed.

Third is the strength of opening the eye. It is not uncommon for the cause of a line loosening or appearing asymmetrical to be a difference in the strength of the eye-opening muscle rather than the line itself. In this case, even if you reset just the line, the same problem will return. This is why eye opening correction is examined together in revision surgery consultation.

These three factors are intertwined, making it difficult to determine a method by looking at just one. Even with the same symptom, if the cause is different, the approach differs, so the cause is identified first before determining the surgical scope. Surgical results cannot be guaranteed by numbers in advance.

Sheone Plastic surgery Consultation Environment and System

Sheone Plastic surgery concentrates consultation in a single area of eye surgery. By not performing other area surgeries together, the clinic can allocate longer consultation time for consultations that require much confirmation and take time, like revision surgery.

Revision surgery consultation confirms the following:

  • The timing and number of previous surgeries, and the method used at that time (incision or non-incision, whether skin was excised)

  • The amount of eyelid skin remaining when the eye is closed

  • The height at which the line is set and the area where adhesion is suspected

  • The difference in eye-opening strength between both sides

  • How the front and back canthus shapes affect the line

If records from the previous surgery are available, bringing them is helpful. Even without records, there are aspects that can be confirmed through the current eye condition. The consultation process proceeds in order of consultation, examination, design, surgery, and follow-up management, with explanations tailored to the eye condition provided at each stage.

Sheone Plastic surgery's Specialized Procedures: Double Eyelid Revision Surgery

One of Sheone Plastic surgery's specialized procedures is double eyelid revision surgery. By operating detailed eye surgery consultation items such as canthus restoration, eye opening correction, and lower eyelid fat repositioning together, the clinic responds to complex needs that may arise during revision surgery. When revision surgery together with canthus correction or eye opening correction is needed, integrated consultation planning can be received.

The main consultation items are as follows:

  • Double eyelid revision surgery

  • Front canthus restoration / Back canthus restoration

  • Front canthus / Upper canthus / Back canthus / Lower canthus

  • Eye opening correction

  • Upper eyelid blepharoplasty

  • Lower eyelid fat repositioning

  • Male eye surgery

The application of procedures may vary depending on eye condition, and not all procedures are equally applicable to all patients.

Common Situations Addressed in Double Eyelid Revision Surgery

Common situations that arise in revision surgery consultation have been organized. Since the same symptom can have multiple causes, the explanations below are general in scope and actual judgment is made through examination.

The line has loosened or become faint

This is a case where the line becomes shallower over time. The cause could be weakening of the area where the line was fixed, the eyelid skin sagging to cover the line, or weakened eye-opening strength preventing the line from folding. These three have different solutions, so determining which one it is comes first.

The line is thick like a sausage

This is a condition where the tissue above the line appears thickened and bunched. It occurs when the line is set high, the eyelid fat and muscle are thick, or tissue is rolled up due to adhesion. To lower the line, existing adhesion must be released, but depending on whether the adhesion can be released, it may be difficult to bring it down to the desired height in one surgery.

Double wrinkles have formed

This is when an additional fold appears above the original line. It could be caused by the line height itself, skin stretching and folding, or adhesion creating two folds. If the cause is simple and tissue damage is minimal, it may be handled in a non-incision range, but if skin laxity is insufficient, incision may be necessary.

The eyes look asymmetrical

Cases where the line height differs and cases where the eye-opening degree is different are differentiated. In the latter case, asymmetry will remain even if just the line is aligned. Also, asymmetry between the eyes immediately after surgery may decrease as swelling subsides, so it is safer to observe the progress and make judgment.

The line was set too high

This may lead to an impression that the eyes look unnatural or sleepy rather than larger. To lower the line, the existing adhesion of the line must be released and refixed at a new location, and sufficient remaining skin is key. If skin laxity is insufficient, the range that can be lowered is limited.

People Who Make Sheone Plastic surgery

Introduction to the Head Surgeon

Sheone Plastic surgery's consultation is conducted centered on a head surgeon who has accumulated clinical experience in the eye surgery field. The head surgeon is known to have abundant clinical experience in detailed eye surgery fields such as double eyelid revision surgery and canthus restoration. Patients wishing for consultation can receive explanation about their eye condition through consultation with the head surgeon.

The head surgeon conducts consultation considering the special nature of revision surgery patients and does not guarantee specific surgical success rates or results by numbers. All consultations proceed based on individual explanations.

Side Effects and Precautions of Double Eyelid Revision Surgery

Double eyelid revision surgery is a surgery that may have greater potential for side effects and more recovery variables than primary surgery. The possibility of tissue adhesion, reduced blood flow, and recurrence of asymmetry between the eyes is medically reported. Patients considering revision surgery should be aware of these risk factors in advance and make a decision after sufficient consultation with a specialist.

The main precautions are as follows:

  • Swelling and bruising may persist longer than in primary surgery

  • Possibility of extended recovery period due to tissue adhesion

  • Possibility that asymmetry between the eyes may not be completely improved

  • Temporary symptoms such as reduced sensation or foreign body sensation

  • Cases may arise where additional correction is needed

The side effects mentioned above may manifest differently depending on individual eye condition, the number of past surgeries, and tissue condition, and do not apply equally to all patients. A process of confirming risk factors through sufficient examination and consultation before surgery is necessary.

Self-Check Checklist for Double Eyelid Revision Surgery

Patients considering double eyelid revision surgery can first confirm the need for consultation through simple self-checking. Symptoms such as eyelid sagging, asymmetry, and line loss are known as general indicators that can be referenced in determining whether revision surgery is needed. The checklist below is for reference, and final judgment should be made through consultation with a specialist.

Self-check checklist:

  • The double eyelid line has become fainter or disappeared compared to before

  • The appearance of the eyes on both sides feels asymmetrical

  • There is a foreign body sensation or discomfort when opening the eyes

  • More than one year has passed since the previous surgery, but the line remains unstable

  • You are also considering eye opening correction or canthus correction

Even if you correspond to multiple of the above items, this does not mean revision surgery is necessarily required, and interpretation may vary depending on individual eye condition. For accurate judgment, direct examination through consultation with a specialist is necessary.

Consultation Information and Consultation Appointment

If you are considering double eyelid revision surgery, it is recommended to check your current eye condition through Sheone Plastic surgery's eye surgery consultation. Since revision surgery has different tissue conditions and past surgical histories for each individual, a uniform approach is difficult. Sheone Plastic surgery provides information suited to the patient's eye condition through consultation.

Before consultation, it is helpful to organize information about previous surgery and current inconveniences. The final decision on whether to undergo surgery and the method is recommended to be made through direct consultation with a specialist. If you are concerned about double eyelid revision surgery, please check your eye condition through Sheone Plastic surgery consultation.

Double Eyelid Revision Surgery Frequently Asked Questions

Below are frequently asked questions in revision surgery consultation. These are general explanations, and actual application and methods may vary depending on eye condition and must be confirmed through examination.

Can revision surgery be performed on just one eye?

There are cases where only one side is corrected. However, the approach differs depending on whether the cause of one side's line loosening or asymmetry formation is only in that eye or stems from a difference in eye-opening strength between both eyes. If the cause spans both sides, asymmetry may remain even if only one side is touched, so the cause is confirmed first in examination before determining the surgical scope.

I heard from another hospital that revision surgery is difficult. Is there no method?

The explanation that it is "difficult" usually means adhesion is severe, eyelid skin is insufficient, or tissue slack is limited due to many previous surgeries. Even in these cases, if the goal is changed from recovering the previous design to a range possible with current tissue, options may remain. However, whether it is possible and the method can only be determined after direct examination, and results cannot be guaranteed in advance.

I have developed double eyelid wrinkles. Can it be fixed without incision?

It depends on whether the cause of the double wrinkle is the line height itself, eyelid skin stretching, or adhesion causing the line to be set in two folds. If the cause is simple and tissue damage is minimal, it may be handled in a non-incision range, but if adhesion or skin laxity deficiency overlap, incision may be necessary. Whether non-incision is possible is determined by directly viewing the eye.

My line is thick like a sausage. Can it be lowered without creating double lines?

To lower the line without using a method of setting a new line below the existing line, a process of releasing the existing line's adhesion is also necessary. Whether the adhesion can be released and the thickness of the eyelid skin and fat are key factors. Depending on the condition, it may be difficult to bring it down to the desired height in one surgery.

When can revision surgery be performed after previous surgery?

It is generally known to be desirable to make judgment after swelling subsides and scar tissue settles. Recovery speed varies from person to person, making it difficult to specify a uniform timeframe. However, if there are functional problems such as difficulty fully opening or closing the eyes, confirmation may occur at an earlier point.

What should I look for when choosing a hospital before revision surgery?

Revision surgery differs from primary surgery in that the process of reading what previously happened and how comes before deciding what to create new. It is helpful to examine whether the consultation confirms both previous surgical records and current tissue condition, explains not only possible range but also limitations, and does not present just one method.

Does the recovery period take longer than primary surgery?

Since the approach is made again in a state with adhesion and scarring, swelling and bruising may last longer than in primary surgery. The timeframe varies depending on surgical scope, the number of previous surgeries, and individual recovery speed.

Do I need to have eye opening correction or canthus correction done together?

Symptoms appearing as double eyelid line problems may actually stem from eye-opening strength or the eye's front-back canthus shape. In this case, if only the line is reset, the same problem may repeat, so it may be addressed together. Conversely, there are cases where concurrent treatment is not necessary, so the cause is determined through examination before deciding.
