Understanding the revisional double eyelid surgery

The revisional eyelid surgery is the most common  revision surgery . As other common plastic surgeries, it is taken because of the unsatisfied outcome of the patient. So, the first surgery has to be done very prudently. And when considering a reoperation, the eyes have to be treated exceptionally carefully. And enough consultations should be taken. Depending on the type of surgery, the surgical methods and the recovery conditions differ.

Classifications for the reoperation of the double eyelid

There are two reasons people having their double eyelids reoperated. 1) When the patient may not be satisfied with his/her look, a subjective matter. 2) When it is needed to take the reoperation from an objective point of view.

1. Awkward looking eyes

Awkward and unnatural eyes give a feeling of huge discomfort. This usually is caused by very poor surgical techniques and ignoring the anatomical structure of the patients’ eyes. It needs to be corrected, and the remaining Mongolian fold is mainly the other critical reason for it. The Magic epicanthoplasty with a double eyelid reoperation may be needed at the same time.
