Due to technological advancements in plastic surgery, the aversion to plastic surgery is decreasing and it is becoming increasingly common, inevitably leading to a rise in the proportion of people who have undergone surgery. Consequently, the proportion of people with experience in plastic surgery has increased, and the proportion of people planning revision surgery is steadily rising compared to the past.

Among cosmetic plastic surgeries, eye surgery is the most frequently performed and widespread procedure, and revision surgeries are also the most common. As eye surgery has become more common, many people take it too lightly; however, in reality, it is a procedure that requires extreme delicacy and precision, and a single mistake can lead to fatal side effects.

Because the surgical site is small and key points determining the shape must be handled with precision, this procedure requires the surgeon's precise surgical skills and dexterity. Most people are swayed by various promotions and marketing to reduce the financial burden, but this carries the risk of leading to multiple revision surgeries later due to serious side effects.

As with all types of revision surgery, eye revision surgery places great importance on a more accurate and meticulous diagnosis and the surgeon's experience.

Dr. Do Eon-rok, Director of 1mm Plastic Surgery at Gangnam Station, emphasized, “In the case of revision surgery, unlike the first surgery, scar tissue exists both inside and outside the skin, so adhesions between tissues must be considered. Since the anatomical positional relationships of the tissues around the eyes have already changed, even doctors with extensive knowledge of eye anatomy are highly likely to encounter problems during surgery if they lack sufficient experience in revision surgery. Because surgical methods vary slightly from doctor to doctor, those handling revision surgery must always keep various possibilities in mind and have a well-prepared response manual for abnormal anatomical situations.”

Furthermore, the anatomy and physiology of the area surrounding the eyes, where eye surgery is performed, have not yet been fully elucidated by modern medicine. Therefore, when considering revision surgery, the key to a successful procedure is to find a plastic surgeon with extensive experience in revision surgery and a clinic that is constantly updated with the latest knowledge regarding the anatomy and physiology of the surgical site.
