A revision surgery to correct unsatisfactory results or complications from previous eye surgeries (double eyelid, ptosis correction, canthoplasty, etc.).
Overview
Eye revision surgery corrects issues from previous operations including fold loosening, left-right asymmetry, scarring, over-correction, under-correction, lagophthalmos, and scleral show. It is more technically demanding than primary surgery due to tissue adhesions and scar tissue. Thorough assessment of previous surgical records and current tissue condition is essential for optimal outcomes.
Mechanism
Revision surgery corrects unsatisfactory results from prior eyelid procedures. Techniques include removing or repositioning excess scar tissue, adjusting fold height and symmetry, fat grafting for volume restoration, canthopexy for lid position, and addressing ptosis or lagophthalmos from previous surgery.
Effects
Correction of asymmetry, improved fold height and shape, resolution of scarring or adhesions, improved eye opening, restoration of natural appearance, and correction of functional issues from prior surgery.
Duration
Permanent. Final results visible at 3-6 months after swelling resolution. More complex than primary surgery with longer stabilization period.
Recovery
Swelling and bruising for 2-4 weeks (longer than primary surgery). Stitches removed at 5-7 days. Scar maturation over 3-6 months. Avoid strenuous activity for 2-3 weeks.
Side Effects
Higher complication risk than primary surgery due to scar tissue. Swelling, bruising, asymmetry, dry eyes, difficulty closing eyes, and prolonged recovery. Multiple revisions may be needed in complex cases.
Price Range
1,500,000-4,000,000 KRW depending on complexity.
Target Audience
Those unsatisfied with previous eyelid surgery results, those with functional issues from prior surgery, and those with asymmetry or scarring from previous procedures.
