To avoid revision eye surgery, consider personalized surgery.

Every year after the college entrance exam ends, private plastic surgery clinics become busy with inquiries for consultations and surgeries. As plastic surgery among test-takers becomes more natural—to the point where the term "college entrance exam plastic surgery" has emerged—an increasing number of students are visiting clinics with friends or coming in for consultations with their parents.

By far, the most preferred surgery among students who have finished the college entrance exam is double eyelid surgery. This is because even a small change of just 1mm in the eyes can significantly improve one's appearance. However, as this is the most common type of plastic surgery, caution is required. If one takes it lightly or rushes into the procedure solely to chase the low costs offered by special events for exam takers, it can lead to unnatural results such as thick "sausage eyes," loosening of the double eyelids, or asymmetry, or result in revision surgery due to various complications.

To avoid revision surgery and achieve good results on the first double eyelid surgery, the most important factor is personalized surgery. This involves considering each individual's eye shape, facial structure, and the harmony of their features to determine the height and shape of the double eyelid line most suitable for their face, and then performing the surgery using the appropriate surgical method accordingly.

There are various types of double eyelid surgeries, including non-incisional, incisional, and partial incisional methods, but the natural adhesion method is known to create double eyelids that are as natural as the existing non-incisional method yet more solid.

Natural adhesion double eyelid surgery is a method that creates stronger, more durable double eyelids by inducing additional adhesion of autologous tissue, building upon the buried suture method which involves making tiny holes in the eyelid and fixing it with sutures. Since it does not involve skin incisions, there is less swelling and faster recovery. Notably, there is virtually no scarring even when the eyes are closed.

When considering revision eye surgery due to a failed previous double eyelid surgery, extra caution is required. This is because a systematic and precise revision surgery is necessary, based on an accurate analysis of the surgical method and the cause of failure from the previous procedure. Since the positional relationship of the tissues surrounding the double eyelid has already changed due to the previous surgery, it is difficult to achieve success without sufficient experience in revision surgery. Above all, for a successful revision, it is essential to understand the eye shape the patient desires while accurately assessing the current condition of the eyes.

Safe and effective plastic surgery can boost confidence in one's appearance and contribute to a more enjoyable daily life, but indiscriminate and excessive surgery can harm the fresh beauty of a twenty-year-old.
