2.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. 

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.

3.Eyelids that are too close to the edge (small width of double eyelid).

An eyelid that is too close to the edge of your eye’s skin can be corrected with surgery. In this case, an incision(including excision of skin) is necessary. When the epicanthal fold is severe and a double eyelid is buried into the skin, a complex operation is needed. After fixing the epicanthal fold, more clear lines can be seen. 



4.Loosened and faded lines


Eyelids are likely to fade whenever possible. However, this can be fixed properly. Ordinary surgeons may think of correcting this problem only by tying the sutures firmly. However, this may result unsuccessfully. There are many reasons for it, but the two main reasons are:
First, when the double eyelid line is weak, correction for it is needed into a more strong fixing method. Second, the Mongolian fold can be another critical reason. It is because of the Mongolian fold that hides the lines or weakening of the levator muscle, so the eyes look a little closed even though they are fully opened. By knowing these reasons and correcting it, proper lines can be maintained.
