Treatment Overview
Crease Revision Double Eyelid Surgery is a corrective procedure designed to fix unsatisfactory results from previous double eyelid surgeries. It can address issues such as uneven creases, asymmetry, overly high or low folds, fading creases, or scarring. In Korea, revision eyelid surgery is performed with advanced techniques that restore a natural, balanced appearance while minimizing visible scarring and preserving eyelid function.
Purpose & Benefits
- Corrects uneven, asymmetric, or faded double eyelid creases
- Lowers or raises the eyelid fold to match patient preference
- Improves unnatural or artificial-looking eyelids from prior surgery
- Removes scar tissue for smoother eyelid contour
- Restores confidence with natural, aesthetically pleasing results
- Can be combined with other eyelid corrections (ptosis repair, fat repositioning)
Ideal Candidates
- Patients dissatisfied with results of previous double eyelid surgery
- Individuals with asymmetric or faded creases
- Those with creases placed too high, too low, or irregular in shape
- Patients with thick scar tissue affecting eyelid appearance
- People in good health with realistic expectations about revision surgery
Possible Risks & Complications
Revision surgery is more complex than primary procedures and carries risks such as:
- Temporary swelling and bruising (more prolonged than first surgery)
- Mild asymmetry between eyelids
- Scarring, especially if prior surgery caused tissue damage
- Loosening or fading of the crease (less likely with skilled Korean surgeons)
- Rare risk of eyelid stiffness or functional issues
Surgical Techniques Used
- Scar Tissue Removal: Careful removal of previous scar tissue to restore flexibility
- Re-Creation of Crease: Using incisional, buried suture, or hybrid techniques depending on patient’s eyelid condition
- Partial Incision with Fixation: Allows fine adjustment of crease height and symmetry
- Customized Design: Korean surgeons use detailed simulations to ensure a balanced, natural crease
- Combined Corrections: Sometimes paired with fat repositioning or ptosis correction for optimal results
Recovery & Aftercare
- Swelling and bruising may last longer than primary surgery (1–2 weeks)
- Stitches are typically removed in 5–7 days if incisions are used
- Avoid strenuous activity, eye rubbing, and makeup for at least 2 weeks
- Cold compresses and prescribed ointments help reduce swelling
- Final crease shape settles within 2–3 months
Results & Longevity
- Corrected, natural-looking double eyelids with improved symmetry
- Results are usually permanent when performed by experienced surgeons
- Provides both cosmetic improvement and functional eyelid stability
- Longevity depends on skin condition, previous surgeries, and lifestyle factors
