[Eyelid Surgery] Revision Double Eyelid Surgery

The primary surgery is the key for plastic surgery.

Double eyelid surgery has been the most performed plastic surgery as it is the most popular among females and males of both young-aged and middle aged.


But, because it is widely performed and often considered as a 'simple' surgery, people tend to rush on making a decision for undergoing double eyelid surgery.
In fact, double eyelid surgery is known as the number of case for its revision surgery is the greatest out of other plastic surgeries.


If one does not consider his or her original conditions, such as size, shapes and skin types of the eyelids etc, in a careful manner when deciding methods of surgery, it might easily lead to a case where revision surgery is required.


Especially thick crease of the eyelids has become one of the common reasons for revision surgery. If the crease is too high or looks swollen, as it looks like a 'sausage' type, even after around a year from surgery, then one might need to consider undergoing revision surgery.


If the previous surgery was performed with an incision method, unnecessary skin and scar on eyelids can be removed as lowering the height of the crease. If it was done by a non-incision method, then revision surgery of untying the sutures can be performed within 2 weeks to remake the crease.
However, if it has been long since the previous surgery was performed, then a plan for revision surgery will have to depend on the conditions of the eyes.
Moreover, minor swelling on eyelids may last long, up to 3~6 months in some cases, therefore a decision for undergoing revision surgery has to be made after enough time has passed.


And revision surgery requires comprehending the conditions of patients like what would be an exact problem from the previous surgery, and solving that problem as well.
Therefore, it is more complicated and thus requires more of techniques and practical knowledge from a doctor.


So, if you are considering undergoing double eyelid surgery or other plastic surgeries, you need to choose a plastic surgery clinic where there are experienced doctors, who will be in charge of the whole process of surgery.

[Facial Contouring] Wide or Square Jaws

What would be the best way to improve wide jaws?


In many cases of consultation for wide or square jaws, patients bring a question like 'Do I need to get facial contouring surgery?'

If you have wide jaws, you might have developed bones, but it may not be the reason.
You would have normal size of the jaw bones but have developed masseter muscles (chewing muscles) or excessive fat on cheeks and jaw lines, or even a combination of these conditions.


If you have a lot of fat on cheeks or jaw lines, you may get a contouring injection to get rid of excessive fat. If you have developed masseter muscles, then you may get a botox injection on them to reduce the size of the muscles.
However, if the case is determined as you have a wide or big mandible (lower jaw) bone, as checking the bone conditions via CT-scans, you are recommended to undergo mandible reduction surgery.


The types and methods of surgery can be determined during face to face consultation. And, some of anatomic factors may limit the surgical process, therefore the expectations and goals of the surgery must be thoroughly discussed prior to surgery.

Post-Operative Care for Bruises and Swelling

General postoperative symptoms that patients experience are bruise, swelling, pain and fever.



Q) What causes bruises?
In the course of surgery, blood vessels get damaged from incision, resection or exfoliation etc, and internal bleeding beneath the skin causes a discoloration of the skin.
A bruise initially appears reddish and it will then turn blue or dark purple and then yellow after a few days.

Q) What causes swelling?
Circulation of body flulid is not smooth on surgical sites, resulting in the build-up of fluid and therefore causing swelling.

To reduce bruises and swelling after surgery, applying cold compression (ice pack) for 2~3 days is recommended since the degree of swelling reaches maximum up to 3 days. And, from the 4th day, applying a warm pack is recommended to help bruises heal.
When applying an ice pack or warm pack on a surgical site, it is advised to place a towel or gauze underneath the pack, rather than placing the pack directly onto the surgical site.

Some of foods are known to be effective for reducing swelling.
- Pumpkin
- Potatoes
- Black beans
- Kiwi, Banana, Grapes, Plum

They help activating blood circulation and inducing metabolism.

Taking a walk or doing light exercises is advised.
And, because having the surgical area elevated higher than the level of heart helps reduce swelling, putting a high pillow underneath the surgical area (mostly a head) is recommended

Making living conditions that can raise body temperature a lot, such as going in a sauna or having an indoor temperature too hot, may delay healing of surgical sites.
And drinking alcohol and smoking should be avoided for a proper healing process after surgery.


Lastly, the best way is to keep the post-operative instructions given by the staff.

It is recommended to those who have a weak or defective levator muscle, raising the eyelid, therefore having difficulty in opening eyes widely without moving brows or forehead muscles.
