Is there really a plastic surgery clinic in Seocho-gu and Gangnam-gu that focuses only on eye revision surgery?
Many people are curious whether there actually exists a plastic surgery clinic that treats only the eye area. In the Seocho-gu and Gangnam-gu area, Sheone Plastic surgery operates with such a structure.
Eye revision surgery differs in nature from the first surgery. Since scar tissue formed after the first procedure, adhesions, and changes in anatomical structure act in a complex manner, clinical data shows that revision surgery requires a higher level of surgical judgment than the initial surgery. It is not simply a matter of "performing surgery again," but rather a process of first accurately identifying the current state of the deformed tissue must come first.
However, not all eye revision surgery cases are the same. The approach differs depending on the current eye condition, degree of tissue recovery, and previous surgical method, so it is necessary to determine whether surgery is possible and when it should be performed after visiting in person and receiving a diagnosis from a specialist.
Why should you look for a place that 'only does eyes' for eye revision surgery?
Eye revision surgery begins by re-analyzing the scar tissue and adhesion state from the previous surgery. According to relevant clinical data, during revision surgery, the amount of eyelid skin, fat volume, double eyelid height, left-right symmetry, and the condition of the eyelid muscles must be comprehensively evaluated, and more precise judgment is possible from a point when 6 months or more have passed since the first surgery and tissue has stabilized. The same clinical data explains that accurately analyzing the root cause of the previous surgical failure and distinguishing between improvable and non-improvable areas is the key to revision surgery.
Experience accumulated from repeatedly performing procedures on only the eye area is directly related to the precision of this analysis process. Accumulated anatomical proficiency in an environment where techniques and experience are concentrated on the same area is greater than in a structure that handles various areas evenly.
There is one important caution. According to relevant clinical data, there are exceptional cases where early correction is possible within 2 weeks before scarring hardens, limited to cases where the result is clearly poor immediately after surgery. This too must be preceded by a specialist's diagnosis, not self-judgment.
| Evaluation Item | Considerations for Revision Surgery |
|---|---|
| Eyelid Skin Volume | Remaining skin margin and elasticity |
| Fat Volume and Distribution | Amount of fat removed and location changes |
| Double Eyelid Height | Analysis of existing line height and shape |
| Left-Right Symmetry | Identifying causes of eye size and line asymmetry |
| Eyelid Muscle | Confirming degree of muscle damage and adhesion |
| Scar Tissue State | Tissue firmness by elapsed period after surgery |
Why Sheone Plastic surgery treats only the eyes

Sheone Plastic surgery, which operates exclusively with eye plastic surgery consultations, has Dr. Kim Chang-yoon, a board-certified plastic surgeon, personally design and perform the entire process of canthoplasty restoration and double eyelid revision surgery. Surgeries on other areas such as the nose, breasts, and facial contours are not performed, and the entire consultation capacity is focused on the eye area.
▪ Consultation Items: Double eyelid revision surgery, front canthoplasty restoration, back canthoplasty restoration, front canthoplasty, upper canthoplasty, back canthoplasty, lower canthoplasty, eye shape correction, upper eyelid blepharoplasty, under-eye fat repositioning, male eye plastic surgery ▪ Non-Consultation Items: All surgeries on areas other than the eyes such as nose, breasts, facial contours, and lifting
Due to this structural characteristic, it may not be suitable for those planning to undergo surgeries on other areas such as the nose or breasts together. If you wish to have combined surgery, please mention this during your consultation, and we can provide guidance.
This is a good fit for you
Since the timing and method of revision surgery vary depending on individual tissue condition, relevant clinical data also recommends a specialist's judgment through an in-person consultation. Please check the items below first.
✔ Check the applicable items
▪ After double eyelid surgery, the height and shape differ from what you want, and you are considering revision surgery ▪ You want to restore your original appearance after front or back canthoplasty surgery (front canthoplasty restoration, back canthoplasty restoration) ▪ The result after eye shape correction surgery is unsatisfactory and correction is needed ▪ Left-right asymmetry has developed after previous eye surgery and improvement is needed ▪ You want to receive consultation at a place that focuses exclusively on the eye area ▪ You plan to have revision eye surgery only without surgery on other areas such as the nose or breasts
⚠ Please note the following points in advance
▪ The timing of revision surgery varies from person to person depending on tissue condition after the previous surgery, and it is not recommended to determine the timing through self-judgment. ▪ The range of possible improvement may vary depending on your current eye condition and needs to be confirmed after an in-person diagnosis.
In addition to Seocho-gu and Gangnam-gu, many patients visit from the Gangnam Station, Gyodae, Jamwon-dong, and Banpo areas, and access is also convenient from the Sadang direction.

If you have concerns about eye revision surgery, please feel free to receive a consultation at Sheone Plastic surgery, which focuses exclusively on the eye area. Dr. Kim Chang-yoon, a board-certified plastic surgeon, will review your current eye condition together with you.
The longer you hold onto concerns about revision surgery alone, the more difficult it becomes to understand tissue condition. Whether surgery is possible, when is appropriate, and to what extent improvement is possible can only be answered by directly examining your eye condition. You don't have to make a decision right now. You can start by understanding your current condition.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. How long after the first surgery can I have eye revision surgery?
Generally, 6 months or more after the first surgery when tissue has stabilized is recommended. However, there are exceptions where early correction is possible within 2 weeks if the result is clearly poor immediately after surgery. The timing varies depending on individual tissue condition, so it is necessary to determine it through a specialist's diagnosis after visiting.
Q2. Does front canthoplasty restoration and back canthoplasty restoration count as revision surgery?
Yes, it does. Front canthoplasty restoration and back canthoplasty restoration are surgeries that restore the results of previous canthoplasty surgery to the original state or desired form, and are included in the category of revision surgery. Sheone Plastic surgery addresses the entire range of canthoplasty-related surgeries including canthoplasty restoration as consultation items.
Q3. What is the difference between a place that specializes only in eyes and a comprehensive plastic surgery clinic?
It is a difference in the degree of consultation focus. In a structure that treats only the eye area, techniques and experience for the same area are repeatedly accumulated. It cannot be said that one method is definitively better than the other, but one can consider the significance of a focused consultation structure in cases like eye revision surgery where tissue analysis and surgical precision are important.
Q4. Might additional revision surgery be needed even after double eyelid revision surgery?
It is difficult to completely rule out this possibility. Even after revision surgery, there are rare cases where additional correction may be needed depending on tissue response and recovery process. It is important to be sufficiently informed of this in advance and to start with realistic expectations about the range of possible improvement and its limitations.
