The double eyelid surgery is one of the most common plastic surgery, which requires careful consideration for the reoperation. The revision surgery can be successfully done after 3-6 months from the former surgery. Therefore, HERSHE recommends the patients to decide the revision surgery after 3-6 months. It is important to have delicate discussions with the experienced doctors who have fine aesthetic sense with profound experience to understand specific requests.

HERSHE Double Eyelid revision is DIFFERENT!
“Unlike the first eyelid surgery, the revision surgery requires more complicated and delicate procedure since entangled layers of the eyelid from previous operation should be separated and anatomically reconstructed. Hence it requires extremely developed and experienced technique. The surgery may need longer recovery duration than the former one.”
Features of Double eyelid Revision
The double eyelids are asymmetrical Due to the swelling and hematoma, the double eyelids may look asymmetrical right after the surgery. If one of the double eyelids are too thick or thin compared to the other, even after the swelling has gone, the revision to make the double eyelids symmetrical could be performed by the patient’s preference.
The double eyelids are too close to the eyes It occurs when the incision is made too close to the borderline of the eyes or when the sagging eyelid covers the double eyelid. In this case simple surgery can correct this. The correcting process includes removing the upper skin of the double eyelid, designing a new one and hangingit in a natural way firmly.
The double eyelids are too far from eyes If the skin tissue has minor damage with enough skin, the incision will be made on the former double eyelid line to minimize the scar and lower the eyelid line down. If there is not enough skin left, the incision will be made below the existing line and fat grafting to the former line will be followed, which makes the line doesn’t overlap each other.
Eyes are still swollen The double eyelids are too far from the borderline of the eyes and the tissue under the eyelids looks puffy. In this case, surgery will be performed with strengthening the eye-opening muscles by removing the fat and muscle under the double eyelid, which will lower the double eyelid.
Scars are standing out and obvious After 3-6 months later, the scar gets invisible. However, it can be remained noticeable for several reasons. Most revision surgeries cannot reset the former line of the double eyelid to make it completely invisible. In order to revise it, the surgery loosens the tightened muscle and tissue around the double eyelid line. Secondly, the surgery makes the skin thinner and flattensbumpy scars so to let the double eyelid line stay folded and cover the scar.
Double eyelid line has loosened After non-incisional double eyelid surgery, the eyelid line can be loosened. This can happen when double eyelid surgery is performed without the removal of the thick layer of fat. Therefore, the double eyelid line should be firmly fixed by removing the muscles and fats.
Eyelid Revision Information
Depending on the condition of the eyes, the stitch will stay longer than the former operation, up to 1-2 weeks. It requires sufficient amount of time until the restructured tissue gets stabilized, so stitch will be removed after the recovery. And the surgical duration of the revision surgery takes longer and the operation is much more complex than the former operation. Swelling will get natural within 2-3 weeks of recovery period.
