While walking down the street, you can occasionally see heavy-looking eyes, or tired-looking eyes that appear half-closed.
This refers to cases where the double eyelid crease is artificially thick, commonly known as "sausage eyes." As the number of double eyelid surgeries increases, so do these side effects.
Sausage eyes, one of the typical side effects of revision eye surgery, usually occur when the double eyelid line is made too wide or when ptosis is not perfectly corrected.
Sausage eyes may appear to be merely swollen at first glance, but they are distinctly different side effects. Generally, swelling subsides over time, but the thickness of sausage eyes does not change over time.
To correct sausage eyes, various factors must be met. According to Dr. Do Eon-rok, Representative Director of 1mm Plastic Surgery [Photo], existing scars must be covered and the high double eyelid line appropriately lowered.
The timing for the surgery should also be at least six months after the first surgery. Director Do explains, "This is because the eyelid skin and muscle scar tissue have sufficiently stabilized and softened by this time, allowing for the best results from the revision surgery."
Since this is a revision surgery, you must be even more cautious. This is because detailed aspects such as the individual's eyelid condition, thickness, and amount of fat differ significantly from the first surgery. In particular, you must carefully discuss with a specialist what eye shape you prefer and what aspects you wish to improve based on your current condition.
In addition, it is wise to choose a hospital that provides personalized care from consultation to post-operative management. Director Do emphasizes, "Since the eyes are a key indicator that determines a person's impression, it is crucial to receive an accurate diagnosis from a skilled surgeon with extensive clinical experience in revision surgery at a specialized hospital."
