[Eye Revisional Surgery] # Eye Revisional Surgery Let’s get the eyelid line you really wanted with the method that fits you best. [Candidates for Eye Revisional Surgery] # When your previous double eyelid line has loosened or faded # When multiple creases have formed # When the crease is too thick or too faint # When both eyes have different creases or asymmetrical directions # When swelling or puffiness remains after surgery [Eye Revisional Surgery Procedure] At Sugar Plastic Surgery, where natural beauty is our mission, we’ll walk you through how revisional eyelid surgery is performed. # When the double eyelid crease is excessively thick or high : If the initial crease design was placed too high, making the eyes appear sunken or unnatural, revision surgery may be needed. This involves releasing the previous fixation including the original incision line lowering the height, and redesigning the crease at a more natural position. / # When the double eyelid crease is too low : If the original crease was placed too low during your first surgery, revision can help redesign the line to a more suitable height. We’ll evaluate your current eye shape and select the best surgical method to achieve your desired result. # In Case the Double Eyelid Loosens : If the double eyelid line is weakly fixed, it may loosen over time. In such cases, the loosened eyelid line can be redesigned and corrected through revisional surgery using the most suitable method among natural adhesion, partial incision, or full incision techniques depending on the current condition of the eyes to minimize the chance of it loosening again. # In Case of Severe Sagging of the Double Eyelid : This is the method used when there is significant sagging in the surgical area. If there is enough tissue or skin in the eyelid, the excess sagging parts are removed, and the remaining original tissue is preserved to correct the double eyelid line. # When There Are Multiple Double Eyelid Lines : If the size or shape of the crease needs to be changed, the old crease is removed, and any remaining scar tissue is dissected and smoothed out towards the upper side. Additional preventive measures are often required to prevent re-adhesion. # When the Double Eyelid Lines Are Asymmetrical : Depending on the patient's desired height, one side can be corrected, but the surgical method may vary depending on the cause. In many cases, it is best to perform revision surgery on both eyes for proper symmetry. [Not Enough Eyelid Skin for revisional surgery? You May Need a Two-Layer Revisional Double Eyelid Surgery!] When there isn’t enough upper eyelid skin to create a natural fold, issues can arise during double eyelid surgery. If the skin is further removed to correct the problem, it may result in complications such as exposure of the orbital septum, damage to the levator muscle, or the inability to fully close the eyes. In such cases, revisional double eyelid surgery using the two-layer method should be performed in a way that preserves the remaining skin for patients with thin or deficient eyelid tissue. # Before Surgery : Because the skin sags along the old double eyelid line, the previous scar appears more pronounced. # Right After Surgery : The old crease is released, and a new double eyelid line is carefully formed. # After 6 Months : As the tightened skin relaxes over time, the old scar gradually fades. [Eye Revisional Surgery – Key Information] # Surgery Duration : In 1-2 hours # Recovery Time : Within 1 week # Anesthesia Type : Sedation / local anesthesia # Stitches Removal : 1 visit # Hospitalization : 7 days after the surgery (if under the incisional method) ※ Complications such as bleeding, infection, and inflammation may occur after surgery, and individual satisfaction may vary depending on personal perception. [Timing for Eyelid Revisional Surgery] Sugar Plastic Surgery provides guidance on the appropriate timing for eyelid revisional procedures # Early Revision : If complications arise shortly after surgery, revision is typically performed within 1–2 weeks. For optimal results, it’s best to address the issue as early as possible. # Late Revisional Surgery : This type of revision is done at least 6 months after the original procedure, once the eyelid tissue has fully healed and stabilized. [Sugar Customized Double Eyelid Line] The appearance and size of double eyelids can affect one's overall impression, so the shape and height of the double eyelid line should be determined according to the individual's eye conditions. # IN LINE : The double eyelid line starts from a point where it is barely visible from the front and gradually widens toward the back. / # IN OUT LINE : This type is overall an external line like the “out line,” but the front part of the line is very thin and gradually becomes thicker toward the end. / # SEMI OUT LINE : A semi-out line is a type where the double eyelid begins slightly lifted at the inner corner of the eye, somewhere between the in-out line / # OUT LINE : This double eyelid line starts from the very inner corner of the eye (near the epicanthal fold) and extends outward in a parallel line to the shape of the eye.
What is eye revision surgery?

Eye Revision Surgery

Eye revision surgery refines less-than-ideal results from previous eye surgery, such as a loosened crease, a line set too high or too low, re-adhesion, or scarring. After carefully assessing the existing condition and degree of adhesion, we plan with a suitable technique such as the two-line method; revision involves more considerations than a first procedure, so thorough consultation is essential.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions patients most often ask before planning surgery in Korea.

QHow soon can I get revision eyelid surgery?

ARevision is generally possible from 6 months after the previous surgery, once the tissues have settled. The exact timing varies by individual healing.

QCan a loosened, too-high, or too-low line be corrected?

AYes. After assessing the scar tissue and adhesion, we re-plan the line using techniques such as our two-line removal method.

QIs revision harder than the first surgery?

AIt involves releasing existing adhesions and scar tissue, so precise diagnosis and surgical experience matter even more than in a first surgery.

QHow long do I need to stay in Korea after surgery?

AIt depends on your procedure. For typical double eyelid surgery or rhinoplasty, stitches are removed 7-10 days after surgery, so staying at least about one week is standard.

QI do not speak Korean. Do you provide interpretation services?

AWe are a government-registered medical institution for international patients, with dedicated English-, Chinese-, and Japanese-speaking coordinators on staff. They support smooth communication through every step, from consultation to the operating room and aftercare.

QWill the surgeon I consult with actually perform my surgery? Is there any risk of ghost surgery?

AThe board-certified plastic surgeon who consults with you performs 100% of the surgery. Under Korean law requiring CCTV in operating rooms, our operating room CCTV is in operation to protect your rights as a patient.

QWhat if I have side effects after returning to my home country?

AAfter you return home, we follow up on your recovery online through messengers such as WhatsApp, WeChat, or LINE, or by email. We also recommend checking the clinic’s aftercare guarantee policy before surgery.

QWhen can I fly home after surgery?

ACabin pressure changes can cause swelling or bleeding, so it is medically recommended to fly only after your stitches are removed (7-10 days after surgery). Rhinoplasty can be more sensitive to pressure changes, so it is safest to board after a final check with your surgeon.

QHow can I check that a clinic is safe and verified?

AAn objective indicator is the KAHF mark, the accreditation program designated by the Korean Ministry of Health and Welfare for medical institutions serving international patients. You can also verify that the surgeon is a board-certified plastic surgeon on the Korean Society of Plastic Surgeons website.

QWhat payment methods do you accept?

AWe accept international credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, UnionPay, JCB), cash (KRW, USD, and other major currencies), Alipay, and WeChat Pay.
