Revision Blepharoplasty at Light Plastic Surgery Clinic
Did your previous eyelid surgery leave you with asymmetry, scarring, or unsatisfactory results? Revision blepharoplasty—also known as corrective eyelid surgery—is a specialized procedure aimed at fixing or enhancing the results of an earlier upper or lower blepharoplasty. It addresses both aesthetic concerns and functional issues such as difficulty closing the eyes, hollowness, or persistent puffiness.
Korea is internationally recognized for its high standards in cosmetic eye surgery, and at Light Plastic Surgery Clinic in Seoul, our board-certified surgeons bring exceptional expertise to revision cases. Whether you’re seeking to restore natural eyelid contours, improve symmetry, or correct complications, we provide personalized, precise solutions to help you achieve the results you originally hoped for.
Why Choose Revision Blepharoplasty?
Revision eyelid surgery is suitable for patients who are experiencing:
- Asymmetry between the eyes
- Over-correction (hollow or sunken appearance)
- Under-correction (residual puffiness or sagging)
- Visible scarring or irregular creases
- Difficulty closing the eyelids or eye dryness
- Dissatisfaction with aesthetic outcome after initial surgery
Whether your first procedure was performed in Korea or abroad, we offer expert assessment and planning for improved outcomes.
Types of Revision Blepharoplasty
At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic, we offer revision procedures for both upper and lower eyelids. Each case is unique and requires a customized approach based on your surgical history, current anatomy, and desired results.
1. Upper Revision Blepharoplasty:
- Corrects asymmetrical or misplaced eyelid folds
- Adds or removes eyelid crease height
- Treats excess skin, scarring, or eyelid retraction
- May involve skin grafting or fat grafting to restore volume
2. Lower Revision Blepharoplasty:
- Reduces remaining puffiness or under-eye bags
- Addresses hollowing or wrinkling from over-correction
- Restores smooth contour between lower lid and cheek
- May involve fat repositioning, filler, or fat grafting
Because scar tissue and altered anatomy are often present, revision surgery requires advanced skill, delicate handling, and detailed planning.
Consultation and Planning
A thorough, in-person consultation is essential for revision blepharoplasty. At our Seoul clinic, we take the time to review your previous surgery, assess your current eyelid anatomy, and create a detailed surgical strategy.
During your consultation, we will:
- Examine upper and lower eyelids for asymmetry, volume loss, or scarring
- Review your surgical records and medical history (if available)
- Discuss your concerns, desired outcomes, and level of correction
- Recommend realistic options based on tissue condition and healing capacity
- Plan for fat grafting, scar revision, or structural support if needed
Because revision blepharoplasty is more complex than a first-time procedure, setting clear goals and expectations is a top priority.
The Procedure: What to Expect
Revision blepharoplasty is performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity. The procedure duration ranges from 1 to 2.5 hours.
Surgical Steps:
- Anesthesia: Local or general, based on the plan.
- Incision: Made along or near previous scars to minimize new scarring.
- Correction: Scar tissue is removed or softened, and fat or skin may be added or trimmed to restore a natural appearance.
- Repositioning: The eyelid fold or fat pads are adjusted for symmetry and improved contour.
- Closure: Sutures are placed meticulously, and dressings are applied.
Some cases may require staged surgery (multiple sessions), especially when significant scarring or tissue damage is present.
Recovery and Aftercare
Healing from revision blepharoplasty can take slightly longer than initial eyelid surgery, as tissues have already been operated on and may heal more slowly.
Recovery Timeline:
- Days 1–5: Swelling and bruising are expected; use cold compresses and eye ointments
- Day 5–7: Suture removal if non-dissolvable sutures are used
- Week 2–3: Major swelling subsides; most patients return to daily activities
- 1–3 Months: Final shape and eyelid contour continue to refine as residual swelling resolves
We provide comprehensive aftercare instructions and schedule follow-up visits to ensure your recovery is smooth and results are optimal.
