The eyes are a part that plays a decisive role in the impression a person gives and their appearance. Since it is an important part that determines a person's first impression, there is a constant demand from those who want to improve their eyes to beautify them.Nowadays, when plastic surgery has become popular, double eyelid surgery is considered a relatively simple surgery compared to other plastic surgeries, and the satisfaction level is high due to the large before and after differences.
Sometimes, people try to create the same look by bringing in photos of famous celebrities or influencers, but as there are various surgical methods and the shape and height of the double eyelid line that suits each individual are different, it is better to analyze your own facial features and apply the design and method that best suits you, rather than following trends or the appearance of others.
In addition, as double eyelid surgery has become popular due to its low burden, the number of cases of reoperation is rapidly increasing, so special caution is required. There are many reasons for double eyelid revision surgery, such as loose lines or asymmetry, but most cases are due to dissatisfaction with the line and shape.
It is analyzed that this is because the procedure was carried out without sufficiently considering each patient’s eye shape or the overall harmony of facial features.
Revision double eyelid surgery is a more complicated and difficult surgery as it requires handling tissue that has already been damaged. Because it is much more difficult and complicated than the first double eyelid surgery, including the height and shape of the current double eyelid line, degree of adhesion, depth of fixation, and eye opening force, the experience and surgical ability of the medical staff are also important.
Therefore, if double eyelid revision surgery is necessary, it is important to find a design that can help restore tissue function and improve the overall impression, including the eyes, cosmetically, through thorough diagnosis and analysis of individual characteristics.
Kang Hyungjoo, director of Yeoksam JAYJUN Plastic Surgery Clinic, advised, “Revision double eyelid surgery is not only for cosmetic purposes, but also important for functional recovery. Identifying the cause of failure of the previous surgery must be prioritized, and since it is a surgery that must create a new image while correcting the existing line without being noticeable, it is best to have a thorough consultation with medical staff who have acquired their skills through extensive experience and make a careful decision.”
