Double eyelid surgery is a popular surgical procedure in Thailand because it not only makes the eyes look more beautiful, but also boosts the confidence of the person who has it done. However, sometimes the results of double eyelid surgery may not be as expected, such as unbalanced eyelids, eyelids that are too high or too thin, or problems with eyes that are not as beautiful as desired. This can occur from many factors, including the technique used, the experience of the doctor, or even post-operative care.
In this article, we will introduce you to techniques for fixing unsightly double eyelids and methods for restoring them so that you can have beautiful and natural double eyelids again.
Revisional Surgery
If the first double eyelid surgery does not go as expected, such as the eyelid is unbalanced or the results are not satisfactory, repeat surgery or revisional surgery is a suitable option. The doctor will consider correcting the problems that occurred from the first surgery, such as adjusting the level of the eyelid or making the eyes look more balanced.
The advantage of revision eyelid surgery is that it can correct problems caused by the first double eyelid surgery, such as uneven eyelids or sometimes the eyelid may collapse, making the eyes look unnatural. Revision eyelid surgery will help improve the visibility or maintenance of the eyelid, and the eyelid will look more natural. It is very suitable for people who are not satisfied with the results of the first double eyelid surgery.
Caution: Select an experienced doctor because eyelid correction or adjustment requires special skills to avoid side effects or problems that may follow. In addition, recovery may take longer than the first time because the second surgery may be more complicated.
Suture revision technique
Sometimes, double eyelid surgery can cause problems due to poor stitches or uneven eyelid creation. If this is the case, re-stitching using a technique that is appropriate for your eye shape may improve the results. This technique will help adjust the eyelid to look balanced and not too high or thin.
The advantage of re-suturing is that the recovery is faster than major surgery because there is no need to make new wounds, making the recovery much faster. In addition, it effectively adjusts the results of the original double eyelid surgery, especially for people who have problems with creating an unbalanced eyelid or have poor suturing from the beginning.
Caution: Re-stitching may not provide as permanent results as major surgery, which means that the eyelid may return to being uneven in the future, or may require re-stitching in some cases. It is also important to choose a surgeon who is experienced in performing this technique, as re-stitching requires high skill and an understanding of each person’s eye shape to ensure the best results.
Using the technique of increasing eyelid thickness (Fat Grafting)
If the eyelid crease has sunken or looks too thin after double eyelid surgery, using the Fat Grafting technique is an alternative that helps increase the thickness of the eyelid crease to look full and natural. This technique uses fat from other parts of the body to fill the eyelid crease to make the eyelid look more dimensional and beautiful.
Advantages: Makes the eyelid look thicker and more dimensional, looks full and beautiful naturally. In addition, there is no need to worry about allergies to foreign substances because the fat used to fill is our own body fat.
Caution: Some of the added fat may be absorbed after the procedure, which is normal. Therefore, repeated fat injections may be required in some cases to achieve the best results. In addition, choosing a doctor who is an expert in this area is important because this procedure requires the correct and precise technique to inject fat in order to achieve a good and safe result.
Double eyelid correction using laser (Laser Revision)
Laser surgery for double eyelid correction is another option to correct uneven eyelids or scarring from the initial double eyelid surgery. Laser techniques can help reduce scarring and improve the collapse of the eyelid.
The advantage of using laser to correct double eyelids is that it does not require a large incision, which is different from general surgery that requires a long recovery time and may have obvious scars. However, laser helps to make the wound smaller, reducing scarring and speeding up recovery. It does not take as long as the first surgery. In addition, there is less irritation.
Caution: The results may not be permanent if the fat or tissue in the eyelid area re-shrunk, causing the eyelid to return to being unbalanced or not as beautiful as before. Therefore, post-laser care is important to ensure the best results.
Eyelid surgery with skin tightening
Sometimes after double eyelid surgery, the problem that often occurs is the skin around the eyes that is sagging or not as tight as it should be. This is something that many people are worried about because the skin in that area is delicate and can easily show wrinkles. Increasing skin elasticity with skin tightening techniques is another option that helps the skin look tighter and firmer.
The advantage of using these techniques is that it makes the skin around the eyes look tighter and more beautiful without having to undergo surgery. There is also a fast recovery, and there is no long recovery time like with surgery. However, you have to be careful that sometimes these techniques may need to be done several times to get the best results, and some people may need time to see clear results.
Caution: May require multiple sessions for best results.
summarize
Getting double eyelid surgery is not easy and there may be problems that may arise after the procedure. Don’t worry because there are many correction techniques to choose from to help you get back the beautiful eyes you want. If you find that the results are not as expected, you should consult an expert doctor to find the best solution for your problem.
No matter which correction you choose, it is important to choose an experienced and trusted doctor to ensure the best and safest results.
