Repair, Refine, and Restore Natural Eye Harmony

Revision blepharoplasty corrects issues after a prior eyelid surgery—such as asymmetry, hollowing, persistent puffiness, visible scars, or a crease that sits too high/low. At UE Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, our female board-certified facial surgeon focuses on safe structure restoration, subtle aesthetics, and smooth blink function.

When Revision Is Recommended

• Asymmetry of lid height, crease, or shape
• Hollow upper lids or sunken look after over-resection
• Residual bags/skin laxity after lower blepharoplasty
• High/low or multiple creases, webbing, or visible scars
• Lagophthalmos (incomplete closure) or irritation from poor tension

Our Approach

• Detailed analysis of MRD1/levator function, crease design, and scar pattern
• Support first, refine second: restore structure (fat/retroseptal tissue, levator balance) before cosmetic detailing
• Ethnicity-aware crease height/shape for natural harmony
• Conservative adjustments to protect blink and ocular surface

Surgical Techniques We May Use

• Crease revision & re-anchoring at an appropriate height
• Fat grafting or repositioning to correct hollowing
• Skin/ORBICULARIS redraping for smooth contour
• Levator/Müller’s adjustment if ptosis co-exists
• Scar release & Z-plasty for webbing/adhesions
• Lower lid support (canthopexy/canthoplasty) when needed

What to Expect on Surgery Day

• Anesthesia: local with sedation or general (case-dependent)
• Duration: ~60–150 minutes depending on complexity
• Incisions: hidden in natural creases or lash line when possible
• Discharge: same day with lubrication and cold-compress plan

Recovery Timeline

• Swelling/bruise: 5–10 days (social downtime)
• Suture removal: 5–7 days
• Crease settling and symmetry refinement: 4–12 weeks
• Final definition: 3–6+ months (revisions heal slower than primary)

Results You Can Expect

• More natural crease height and smoother contour
• Balanced symmetry between both eyes
• Comfortable closure/blink and reduced irritation
• Refreshed appearance without an “operated” look

Aftercare

• Cold compress first 48 hours, head elevation 1 week
• Prescribed lubricating drops/ointment to protect the eye
• Avoid heavy exercise, contact lenses, sauna 2 weeks
• Begin scar care/SPF 50+ after suture removal; consider silicone/laser polish

Combination Options

• Ptosis repair for true levator weakness
• Brow-tail lift (thread/endoscopic) if lateral hooding persists
• Skin boosters/LDM/toning for texture and redness modulation after healing
• Tear-trough refinement (filler/fat graft) for full periorbital harmony

Safety & Suitability

• Thorough evaluation for dry eye and lagophthalmos risk
• Fitzpatrick-aware scar management to reduce PIH
• Performed by a board-certified facial surgeon using ocular-surface-safe protocols
