Eye revision surgery calls for an individually tailored diagnosis, and ptosis has to be checked too - Notice & Press 1 - TheLINE Plastic Surgery

Ms. A (female, 24), who is preparing for interviews in this hiring season, is seriously considering eye revision surgery. The double eyelid surgery she had right after her college entrance exam left too heavy a line, and she often hears that it looks overdone and artificial.

The problem was that she copied the eyes of a celebrity she admired without considering her own face and character. Because the double eyelid line does not suit her face, the line still looks awkward years after the surgery, and her eyes still seem small.

More than anything, her self-consciousness about her appearance has grown worse and her confidence in dealing with people has dropped, so she worries about whether she can meet an interviewer's eyes and speak with assurance. The surgery was chosen to overcome her complex about small, narrow eyes, but it only brought her another worry, which upsets her.

Dr. Yoosuk Chung, Director of TheLINE Plastic Surgery, said, "Eye surgery must put safety first, and harmony with the individual's face is the key," adding, "Since harmony matters just as much in eye revision surgery, it should be decided carefully after a thorough consultation with a medical team specialized in eye revision."

If you have decided on eye revision surgery to improve an awkward double eyelid line, it is necessary to check whether the pupil is clearly exposed, whether the line looks awkward when the eye closes and opens, and whether the ratio between the double eyelid line and the exposed pupil is appropriate when the eyes move left and right, so that a natural double eyelid line can be created.

Eyes that still look heavy after surgery can be improved into larger, more open eyes through eye revision surgery combined with canthoplasty. If a specialized medical team has diagnosed ptosis at this point, adding ptosis correction can create clear eyes that do not look sleepy.

In particular, since revision can now be done with the non-incisional method, the burden of an incision is eased and the recovery period can be kept to a minimum. The non-incisional method can be applied to double eyelid revision as well as to non-incisional ptosis correction that improves ptosis.

Dr. Junghwan Jeon said, "Eye revision surgery has to be carried out as a correction of the problems identified after assessing the condition of your own eyes," adding, "It is important to get an accurate diagnosis of your eye condition through a thorough consultation with an eye surgery medical team that has rich procedural experience and know-how."
