Eyes are an important part that determines first impressions, and they are in high demand among plastic surgeries and are steadily gaining popularity. However, as the demand for eye plastic surgery increases, the number of cases considering reoperation is also increasing.There are various reasons for wanting revision eye surgery, such as dissatisfaction with the line, severe scarring, or severe left-right asymmetry. In particular, more people have recently been seeking revision surgery because their initial surgery was based only on photos of celebrities or influencers and the result does not suit their facial features.
Because reoperation requires a more delicate approach than primary surgery, it is essential to find a skilled medical staff with extensive experience in reoperation. This is because it is important to accurately analyze the failure factors of previous surgeries after sufficient consultation and apply an appropriate surgical method according to the current condition.
It is also important to determine the appropriate timing for surgery. Most of those who feel they need revision eye surgery want revision surgery as soon as possible, but revision surgery is generally recommended after 6 months, when the damaged tissue stabilizes and recovers after eye plastic surgery.
However, if serious functional problems occur, early correction may be necessary, so it is best to consult with a medical staff with extensive clinical experience and decide on the appropriate time for eye reoperation based on your situation.
Park Kisoo, director of JAYJUN Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, said, "Revision eye surgery must take into account functional issues beyond simple cosmetic changes. It is a quite difficult process that requires a thorough analysis of the current eye condition, including the degree of tissue damage, condition of the eyelid muscles, amount of available eyelid skin, and fat distribution, and then deciding on the most appropriate surgical method. Therefore, if you are considering reoperation of the eye, it is important to carefully consider whether the medical staff has sufficient experience, accurately analyzes the current eye condition, and proposes a customized surgical method."
